I urgently need English composition about traditional culture Dragon Boat Festival on the Internet.

Dragon Boat Festival, usually called Dragon Boat Festival or Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional festival in China held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China. It is also called double five. Since then, in other parts of East Asia, especially North Korea, people have also celebrated this festival in various ways.

The exact origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is not clear, but a traditional view holds that this festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a poet in China during the Warring States Period. He threw himself into the river because he hated the corruption of the Chu government. The local people knew that he was a good man and decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish to prevent them from eating Qu's body. They are still sitting on the dragon boat, trying to scare away the fish through the thunderous drums and the fierce dragon head in front of the boat.

In the early years of the Republic of China, the Dragon Boat Festival was also called "Poet's Day" because Qu Yuan was the first poet with personal prestige in China.

Today, people eat zongzi (originally used to feed fish) and race dragon boats to commemorate Qu's dramatic death.
