When is the Dragon Boat Festival?

1. Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. It is also called Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Summer Season, Ai Festival and Magnolia Festival. Totem sacrifice originated from the ancient tribes who worshipped dragon totems. It was founded by ancestors to worship the dragon ancestors and pray for evil spirits, and then the Dragon Boat Festival was regarded as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.

2. Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Tianzhong Festival, originated from the worship of natural phenomena in ancient times and evolved from Dragon Boat Festival. On the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the Black Dragon stayed in the south of Zhongtian for seven nights, which is the most "right" position in a year, that is, as the fifth divination in the Book of Changes said, "the flying dragon is in the sky". Its origin covers ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations. In the process of inheritance and development, a variety of folk customs are integrated, and the festival customs are rich in content. Picking dragon boats and eating zongzi are two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which have been passed down in China since ancient times and have never stopped.
