Dragon Boat Festival custom:

1, Dragon Boat Race

Dragon boat race is one of the most representative activities of the Dragon Boat Festival and one of the traditional sports in China. According to legend, this custom originated from Qu Yuan, an ancient patriotic poet in China. Later, he was exiled because of political struggle and finally threw himself into the river.

In order to prevent fish and shrimp from eating Qu Yuan's body, local residents rowed to save him and sprinkled rice grains for fish and shrimp to eat. Later, in memory of Qu Yuan, people began to hold dragon boat races by imitating the scene of salvage.

Dragon boat races are usually held in rivers, lakes, oceans and other waters. The team consists of a group of rowers, who are sitting on a long and narrow dragon boat and paddling hard. Dragon boats have different shapes, usually with a dragon head and a dragon tail. The curved boat is decorated with colorful scales.

In the competition, players need to be highly coordinated, and the strength and rhythm of rowing should be consistent in order to pursue speed and stability. The audience will stand on the shore or watch by boat and cheer for the team they support.

Step 2 eat zongzi

Eating zongzi is an indispensable traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also a way for people to express their reunion and blessings. Zongzi is a kind of food cooked with bamboo leaves or lotus leaves wrapped in japonica rice, glutinous rice and other materials. Its shape is usually triangular or rectangular. There are many kinds of fillings for zongzi, such as bean paste, meat and candied dates.

The custom of eating zongzi is related to Qu Yuan. Legend has it that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, local residents threw zongzi into the river to satisfy their hunger in order to prevent fish and shrimp from eating his body. In order to commemorate this period of history, people prepare zongzi every year on the Dragon Boat Festival to share with friends and family.

In the process of preparing zongzi, the family and Qi Xin will work together to wrap the zongzi, which has also become a way of family reunion. It takes some skill to make zongzi. The wrapped zongzi should be tied tightly to prevent water from coming out, and then cooked for a while to make the rice soft and delicious. When eating zongzi, people usually sit around and taste delicious zongzi.

Eating zongzi can not only satisfy your appetite, but also express your thoughts and wishes. People believe that eating zongzi can ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters and keep peace. Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi has become a very popular food, whether it is cooked by itself or sold by merchants.
