The Dragon Boat Festival is literally also known as "Duanwu", "Double Fifth" and "Double Fifth". "Duan" means beginning or start in ancient Chinese, so "Duanwu" is the same as "Chuwu". "The Dragon Boat Festival is in midsummer," says Fengtu Ji. "Duan" means the beginning. There are three five-day periods in each month, and the first five-day period is "Duanwu." The ancients used to call the first few days of May "Duan" respectively. Chen Yuanliang of the Yuan Dynasty wrote in Sui Shi Guang Ji: "The merchants in the capital city call the first day of May "Duan Yi", the second day "Duan Er", and the fifth day "Duan Wu".

Party Founding Day refers to the day when the Communist Party of China was founded. After the Communist Party of China was founded on July 23, 1921, it could only exist in secret under the brutal rule of the reactionary warlord government, with no environment for carrying out open activities. During the Great Revolution, the Party was busy with the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, carrying out the workers' and peasants' movement and supporting the Northern Expedition, and there was no conditions to commemorate the birth of the Party. It was Comrade Mao Zedong who proposed to designate July 1 as the birthday of the Communist Party of China in May 1938.
In 1941, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China designated July 1, 1921 as the founding day of the Communist Party of China. From then on, the whole Party would celebrate the anniversary of the Party’s birth every July 1st.
