The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Dragon Boat Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Tianzhong Festival and so on, is a traditional Chinese folk festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of celestial phenomena and evolved from dragon worship in ancient times. At the Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer, the seven nights of Canglong fly to the South sky, which is the day of dragon flying. That is to say, “flying dragon is in the sky”, as the fifth chapter of the book of changes, qiangua said. Dragon Star in Dragon Boat Festival is a symbol of good fortune. The origin of Dragon Boat Festival covers the ancient astrological culture, human philosophy and other aspects, which contains profound and rich cultural connotation. In the inheritance and development of the festival, a variety of folk customs are mixed into one, and the contents of the festival are rich. Picking dragon boats and eating zongzi are two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. These two customs have been passed down in China since ancient times, and they have never stopped.
The Dragon Boat Festival was originally established by the ancestors of Wu and Yue in the south to worship the Dragon ancestor. It is said that Qu Yuan, a Chu poet in the Warring States period, committed suicide by jumping on the Miluo River on May 5. Later, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also some sayings to commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui. Generally speaking, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the ancient ancestors’ choice of “dragon rising to heaven” auspicious day to sacrifice to the Dragon ancestor, and the introduction of the summer season of “disease elimination and epidemic prevention” fashion. The Dragon Boat Festival was regarded as the “evil moon and evil day” starting in the northern Central Plains, with the attached meeting commemorating Qu Yuan and other historical figures. The formation of Dragon Boat Festival custom can be said to be the product of the fusion of North and South customs.
Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Mid Autumn Festival are also called the four traditional festivals in China. Dragon boat culture has a wide influence in the world. Some countries and regions in the world also have activities to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. In May 2006, the State Council listed it in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage list; since 2008, it has been listed as a national legal holiday. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the list of representative works of intangible cultural heritage of mankind.
