The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Double Fifth Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Tianzhong Festival, etc., originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from the dragon sacrifices in ancient times. During the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the Azure Dragon rises to the south center of the sky. It is an auspicious day for the dragon to fly into the sky, just as the fifth line of the Qian hexagram in the Book of Changes says: "The flying dragon is in the sky." On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Star is both "in the center" and "in the right place", which is a sign of great luck. Its origins cover ancient astrological culture, humanities and philosophy, and contain profound and rich cultural connotations. In the process of inheritance and development, it has blended various folk customs into one, and the festival is rich in content. Dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings are the two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. These two customs have been passed down in China since ancient times and continue to this day.
