Is it necessary to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with family?

No, it doesn’t mean that you have to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with your family. It’s just that it’s recommended to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with your family.
I believe everyone has heard of the ancient poem: "Every festival makes me miss my loved ones more." Every child is the apple of his or her parents’ eyes, and every parent hopes to spend every holiday with their children.
In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is a three-day holiday, so many people choose to go home and spend the Dragon Boat Festival with their parents.
If you really cannot go home due to some special reasons, it is recommended that you call your parents, talk to them, chat about family matters, and also wish them a happy Dragon Boat Festival.

What should you pay attention to when going home for the Dragon Boat Festival?

1. Don’t eat too many zongzi
It's not that there is any custom that prohibits eating too many rice dumplings, but from a health point of view, it is not recommended to eat too many rice dumplings, because the main ingredient of making rice dumplings is glutinous rice. Eating too much glutinous rice is difficult to digest and can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort. Therefore, it is not recommended to eat too many rice dumplings.
2. Don’t say Happy Dragon Boat Festival
Many friends will say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" during the Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, this is very wrong. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we should say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival" instead of "Happy Dragon Boat Festival". Because, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival for worshiping ancestors and commemorating predecessors, on this day you must not say "Happy Dragon Boat Festival", but should wish each other "Happy Dragon Boat Festival".
