About: Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday which occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to late May or June in the Gregorian calendar. The holiday commemorates the ancient poet Qu Yuan, and is celebrated by holding dragon boat races and eating sticky rice dumplings called zongzi. Dragon Boat Festival integrates folk practice, including the worship of gods and ancestors, praying for good luck and to ward off evil spirits, celebrating, entertainment, and eating. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, becoming the first Chinese holiday to be selected.
