Hello everyone,
wish you have a nice day and everything goes well. On 3rd June today, we are going to usher in the Dragon Boat Festival (The fifth day of May in the lunar calendar) which is one of the four traditional Chinese festivals (The Dragon Boat Festival , the Spring Festival , the Tomb Sweeping Day and the Mid - Autumn Festival are also known as the four traditional festivals in China ).
The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the totem sacrifice held by the tribes who worshiped the dragon totem in ancient times . But more of us know this festival is used to commemorate our great patriotic poet Qu Yuan who committed su***de by bouldering and jumping on the Miluo River during the Dragon Boat Festival during the Warring States Period .
The two iconic customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are eating Zongzi ( Traditional Chinese rice - pudding ) and Dragon Boat Racing , which lasted more than 2,000 years in memory of him .
You can refer to the atachment for the picture of it so that you can have more ideas , if you met some celebration about it in your country , it would be highly appreciated if you could share us the picture of them .:)
Last with all the best wishes to you and your family .
