Why do you say that the Dragon Boat Festival should have a "sense of gain" of culture?

It is reported that the Dragon Boat Festival, as one of the four traditional festivals in China, has had folk activities such as dragon boat racing and eating zongzi since ancient times. In May 2006, the State Council listed it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; In 2008, Dragon Boat Festival was listed as a national legal holiday; In September 2009, UNESCO formally considered and approved the inclusion of China Dragon Boat Festival in the world intangible cultural heritage, making it the first festival in China to be selected as the world intangible cultural heritage.

Recently, Xinhua News Agency published a commentary saying that today many people only know one of the origins, historical legends, cultural connotations, solar terms and regional differences of the Dragon Boat Festival, but not the other. Festivals are containers of traditional culture. To carry forward excellent traditional culture and make full use of festivals in China, we should not only celebrate festivals, but also have a historical and humanistic atmosphere.

The commentary also said that we are a big country with a history of five thousand years. We fell in love with our history. From the Dragon Boat Festival, we fell in love with Zongzi, a noble person who is fragrant in Wan Li. We like Qu Yuan, a "vanilla beauty". We love the heroes and revolutionary martyrs who died for our country. We should deeply and concretely love the historical significance of this festival, not only our food, but also ours. There are beautiful cultural legends in every historical ring. In the process of "defending" and "changing", we should dig up rich mines hidden in history, which is a respect for our history and even more respect for ourselves.

The report concludes that the Dragon Boat Festival has many flavors and customs. To have a good Dragon Boat Festival in China, our Chinese nation and the whole world, we must have a good Dragon Boat Festival with emotion, history and humanistic spirit. Only in this way can we maintain the cultural charm of the Dragon Boat Festival and make the cultural flame of traditional festivals endless.
