Duanwu Festival influence on foreign countries:

Japan has a tradition of Chinese festival since ancient times. In Japan, the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival was introduced to Japan from China after the Heian Period. From the Meiji era, the festivals were changed to calendar days. The Dragon Boat Festival in Japan is celebrated on May 5 on the Gregorian calendar. After the custom of Dragon Boat Festival was introduced to Japan, it was absorbed into the draft stool punch and transformed into the traditional culture of Japan.

The Japanese do not row dragon boats on this day, but like the Chinese they do eat zongzhi (粽稿凳冲子), and hang out calamus grass in front of their doors. In 1948, the Dragon Boat Festival was officially designated by the Japanese government as the statutory Children's Day, making it one of the five major festivals in Japan.
