Sunday, June 28th and Friday, June 26th will be taken off for work. Dragon Boat Festival Customs1. Dragon Boat Racing <br /> Dragon Boat Racing is the most representative and widespread folk activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. The dragon boats participating in the race have a big dragon head tied to the bow, colorful flags erected in front of the boat, a person beating a drum behind the flag to cheer, a person holding a big paddle at the stern to act as the race commander, and 20 strong men paddling on each side. Before the competition, people would come to the river bank where the dragon boat race was to take place in groups of three or five, calling their friends.As soon as the order for the dragon boat race is given, drums sound thunderously in the water, the dragon boats start to race, and the sounds of oars and water blend together; there are huge crowds of people on the shore, cheers roar, and shouts and applause merge into one. The spectacular scene made one's blood boil. Dragon boat racing has an early origin and was particularly popular during the Tang and Song dynasties. Today, dragon boat racing has become a mass competitive activity. It is not only held in my country, but is also very popular in Southeast Asia. In recent years, it has also become an international sports competition event. 2. Eating Zongzi <br /> Eating Zongzi is one of the important customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. In terms of appearance, there are triangular zongzi and square zongzi. The custom of eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival has been popular since the Wei and Jin Dynasties. During the Tang and Song Dynasties, rice dumplings had become a famous food with many varieties. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the types of rice dumpling fillings gradually became richer. Today, zongzi has become a delicious food in supermarkets and folk markets, and traditional culture has been harmoniously integrated into modern life. 3. Hanging mugwort <br /> In the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the summer heat is approaching, and it is the time when epidemics, malaria, plague, and dysentery are prone to occur. People believe that this is an unlucky month, which has led to the formation of a series of customs. Mugwort, also known as Artemisia argyi and Artemisia selengensis, its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oils with a strong smell, which can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. As early as the pre-Qin period, mugwort was made into moxibustion sticks for treating diseases. During the Dragon Boat Festival, mugwort is hung on the door to ward off plague and evil spirits. In some areas in southern my country, people put calamus at the door to ward off plague and drive away evil spirits. The editor has something to say: A festival that can continue and be passed down to this day always has its inherent vitality. When it comes to the spiritual quality that is most deeply rooted and has the longest influence on the Chinese nation, it must be patriotism, and the background color of the Dragon Boat Festival is the best interpretation of patriotism.
