Dragon Boat Festivalt Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.It's also called Duan Wu Festival in Chinese .The Dragon Boat Festival is one of legal holidays in China ,which has been listed in world non-intangible cultural heritage list. The Dragon Boat Festival is commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor.But he drowned himself in a river beacuse of he couldn't realize his patriotic ambition.People wanted to row dragon boat to save him .But Qu Yuan's body had sinked to the bottom of the river .They were afraid of the fish eating Qu Yuan's body ,so they threw rice in the river in order to protect his body .But now people eat rice dumpings instead of throwing rice in the river. And they hold the dragon boat race to commemorate Qu Yuan . Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting.I like it very much beacuse we will have three days holiday.
