The origin and customs of Dragon Boat Festival;

Dragon Boat Festival was originally used by people to worship the ancestors of dragons and pray for evil spirits. During the Warring States Period, the patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide by jumping on the Miluo River on this day, so later generations also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. The main customs are dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, hanging mugwort and calamus, flying kites, playing polo and tying colored silk thread.

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival and Tianzhong Festival. It is a folk festival that combines offering sacrifices to gods and ancestors, praying for evil spirits, celebrating entertainment and eating. Together with Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, it is called the four traditional festivals in China.

The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the local chronicles of the Western Jin Dynasty: "Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival is also called May 5, which is the same as the summer solstice." End, which means beginning and beginning in ancient Chinese, is called "Dragon Boat Festival", that is, "fifth day".

Shuo Wen Jie Zi: "Duan is also the topic of the birth of all things", which means that Duan means beginning, so the fifth day of May is called "Dragon Boat Festival". The chronicle of Yanjing's age: "The fifth day is the fifth day of May, and the transliteration of the word' Duan' is also covered."

The ancients used to call the first few days of May end to end respectively. "When you are old, Guangji" said: "The dusty people in Shi Jing City end with the first day of May, and the second day ends with five consecutive days, which is called the Dragon Boat Festival." The first afternoon in May is called Dragon Boat Festival.
