In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Noon Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Bathing Orchid Festival". Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the Chinese character cultural circle. Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. Originally, it was a totem festival for the tribes who worshipped dragon totem in Baiyue area (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south area). Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Baiyue area, it was customary to hold totem festivals in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, because Qu Yuan, a poet of the State of Chu (now Hubei) in the Warring States period, threw a huge stone into the Miluo River that day, the ruler took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan in order to establish the label of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. In some areas, Wu Zixu and Cao E are also commemorated.

The significance of the origin of Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival, also called Dragon Boat Festival, is one of the biggest traditional festivals in China. The end is the beginning, and the fifth day is the fifth day. The word "five" is also connected with "noon". According to the order of earthly branches, silver moon is now the first month in the China lunar calendar, and May is the "noon" month. Because noon is the "sun", the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duanyang". On the fifth day of May, both the month and the day are five, so it is also called heavy five, and it is also weighed at noon.
On September 30th, 2009, China Dragon Boat Festival was selected into the representative list of world intangible cultural heritage, which was considered and adopted by the fourth meeting of UNESCO Inter-Committee for the Protection of Intangible Cultural Heritage. This is the first selected event in the traditional festivals in China.
Origin: "theory of avoiding epidemic and exorcising evil spirits" and "theory of commemoration"
There are many folk sayings about the origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in China, such as immunity against disasters, good fortune and avoiding evil, sanitation, epidemic prevention and health care, competition, regulating yin and yang, and Dragon Boat Festival. The most famous and popular is the memorial theory.
The theory of "Commemoration" was first seen in Qu Yuan's Notes by Wu Jun in the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties and the Chronicle of Jingchu in Zonggu. It is believed that the Dragon Boat Festival is a day for Chu people to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic and loyal monarch, which is the most widely circulated statement in China so far. In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, people think that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Zhongliang Wu Zixu, who was unjustly killed by Meng and later thrown into the river by He Lv, the king of Wu. In addition, there are many sayings all over the country to commemorate the filial daughter Cao E, Fu Bo general Ma Yuan, Cangwu satrap Chen Lin and other historical figures. It can be said that there are different opinions.
In fact, the theory of commemoration is the product of association between future generations and historical figures in the process of inheriting holiday customs. This theory is later than the theory of avoiding epidemic and exorcising evil spirits, regulating yin and yang, and strengthening the body. Therefore, the most credible theory should be the theory of avoiding epidemics and exorcising evil spirits in the pre-Qin period.
Cultural significance: return to tradition in festivals and enhance the sense of cultural mission.
Dragon Boat Festival, like other traditional festivals and folk customs, is also different in three miles and has customs in five miles. For example, what to eat and do during the Dragon Boat Festival is different between north and south.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to zongzi enjoyed all over the country, most areas in the south drink realgar wine, and Changde and Zhangjiajie in Hunan also eat glutinous rice, Monopterus albus in Jianghan Plain, tea eggs in Shandong and Jiangxi, and Udon cakes with five poison patterns in Hebei. People use bamboo leaves to make zongzi in the south of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, while reed leaves are mostly used in the north. All these show the colorful traditional festival food culture in China.
In the custom of Dragon Boat Festival, eliminating disasters and avoiding epidemics and exorcising evil spirits are the most primitive themes and the most important motives. For example, drinking realgar wine, there is a plot in Legend of the White Snake that Xu Xian listened to Fahai's words and let the white lady drink realgar wine, and the result was revealed. This festival theme, which aims at disinfection and disaster elimination, health preservation and happiness, has a strong vitality since ancient times.
The custom of Dragon Boat Festival is people's praise and expectation for life, nature, good personality and happy life. It changes with the change of people's lifestyle and way of thinking. From the respect for noble personality such as exorcising evil spirits and epidemics, sacrificing one's life to serve the country or saving one's father, it has gradually risen to the wisdom of life that human beings can live in harmony with nature and society and actively adjust through various activities (such as eating zongzi and racing dragon boats). It is for these reasons that the traditional festival of Dragon Boat Festival can last forever.
The reason why the Dragon Boat Festival is particularly popular among the people also stems from people's recognition of the national traditional cultural background. Commemorating Qu Yuan is one of the most distinctive themes of the Dragon Boat Festival. Since War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, progressive intellectuals in China have commemorated Qu Yuan in the form of poetry meeting, which echoes the dragon boat race and better reflects the classical traditional culture of China.
Today, in the era of globalization and the great integration of world cultures, we should maintain our identity, enhance the cohesion of the nation and inherit the cultural spirit represented by Qu Yuan. By carrying out colorful traditional festival activities, cultural heritage will be integrated into folk festivals, so that people can return to tradition on this particular festival, feel the noble character of great patriotic poets in the dialogue with their ancestors, enhance our national consciousness and sense of cultural mission, and make excellent national cultural traditions constantly updated in modern life.
It is imperative to protect folk culture.
Since the reform and opening up, in the process of modernization in China, new changes have taken place in social structure and ideology, which have impacted the survival and development of folk culture and challenged it. The reason for this result is that modernization advocates a brand-new way of life and destroys the soil for the survival and development of folk culture. And folk customs >>

There are some differences in the Dragon Boat Festival in these areas, but the general customs of the Dragon Boat Festival have not changed, such as eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. We all know how profound and colorful China's history and culture are. During the dinner, the students toasted each other, exchanged ideas, talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was warm. Everyone has a sincere smile on his face. The students also put forward the problems existing in the class and their own views and expectations on the class, which deeply moved us. This kind of collective life has deepened the feelings of the students to the classmates in the class, and let us see the truest each other.
