When is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2017?

2017 Dragon Boat Festival Time: May 30, 2017, the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Tuesday. The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar every year. According to the "Jingchu Sui Shi Ji", because people climb high places in midsummer when the sun is in the sky, and May is midsummer, its first noon is the day for climbing high places in the sky, so the fifth day of May is also called the "Dragon Boat Festival." In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Muri Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival", etc. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese cultural circle.
The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a totem sacrifice festival held by tribes who worshipped the dragon totem in the ancient Baiyue region (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the area to the south). Before the Spring and Autumn Period in the Baiyue region, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because the poet Qu Yuan from the Chu State (now Hubei) during the Warring States Period committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with a stone in his arms on that day, the rulers used the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan in order to establish a label of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism; some areas also use the term "Dragon Boat Festival" to commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E.
The Dragon Boat Festival is known as one of the four major traditional festivals of the Chinese folk, along with the Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Mid-Autumn Festival. Since ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival has included festival activities such as dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings. Since 2008, the Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a national statutory holiday. In May 2006, the State Council included it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; in September 2009, UNESCO formally reviewed and approved the inclusion of China's Dragon Boat Festival in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage, making it the first Chinese festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.
