The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (around June). Its origins trace back over 2,000 years to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who drowned himself to protest corruption. Locals raced boats to save him and threw rice dumplings (zongzi) to prevent fish from eating his body.
Key traditions include:
Eating zongzi - pyramid-shaped glutinous rice bundles wrapped in bamboo leaves
Dragon boat racing - vibrant team competitions with long, decorated boats
Hanging mugwort and calamus - believed to ward off evil spirits
Wearing perfumed sachets - for protection and good fortune
Drinking realgar wine - an ancient disinfectant custom
The festival blends cultural remembrance with seasonal practices to welcome summer. In 2009, it was inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list, recognizing its significance in Chinese tradition. Modern celebrations maintain these customs while incorporating family reunions and cultural events.
Here Ningbo Kent Bearing Co., Ltd.. wish all of you peace and health on Dragon Boat Festival.
