The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest against them.
The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to place, but there are some common in them.
Zongzi is an essential food of the Dragon Boat Festival. Compared with southerners who like to eat salty zongzi, northerners prefer sweet zongzi.
Although dragon boat racing is an essential part of the Duanwu Festival, for safety reasons, these activities have been greatly reduced.
In Chinese traditional culture, "Driving away the five poisonous creatures" is also an important part of the Festival. During the day, rpeople make an effort to drive away poisonous pests, including scorpions, vipers, centipedes, house lizards and toads, which means driving away all diseases.
Most importantly, in order to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, we will have a three-day holiday. Of course, we will also be online during the holidays. Welcome all customers to celebrate the holiday with us.
