The significance of Dragon Boat Festival:

The significance of Dragon Boat Festival lies in inheriting and developing intangible culture. Before Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan and Cao E, the custom of "Dragon Boat Festival" had existed for a long time. Later generations constantly enriched the cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival, and combined it with elements such as Qu Yuan's devotion to the river, Wu Yuan's revenge, Cao E's loss of his father, which not only increased the cultural customs of the festival, but also imprinted the unique value orientation and spiritual pursuit of the nation in the group memory through the carrier of the festival and the use of zongzi and dragon boat.
