Dragon Boat Festival customs

To this day, the Dragon Boat Festival remains a very popular and grand festival among the Chinese people.
Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival has been a traditional Chinese custom for more than 2,000 years. Due to the vast territory, numerous ethnic groups, and many stories and legends, there are not only many different festival names, but also different customs in different places.
The main contents include: "daughters return to their parents' home, hang up Zhong Kui's image, welcome ghost ships, avoid noon, post noon leaf charms, hang calamus and mugwort, travel to cure diseases, wear sachets, prepare sacrificial offerings, race dragon boats, fly kites, compete in martial arts, hit balls, swing, give children a bitter grass and wheat medicine bath, apply realgar, drink realgar wine and calamus wine, eat five-poison cakes, salted eggs, rice dumplings and seasonal fresh fruits, etc."
Originally a season for expelling plague in summer, the disease-eliminating and epidemic-prevention activities that were indispensable on this day gradually evolved into eating rice dumplings, dragon boat racing, hanging calamus, wormwood, mugwort, fumigating atractylodes, angelica, and drinking realgar wine.
From the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, the Dragon Boat Festival has been passed down among the people for more than two thousand years.
There are many stories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. Although the ways of celebrating it vary from place to place, making rice dumplings and dragon boat racing are common customs.
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.
