The Duan Wu Festival, also called the Dragon Boat Festival, is to commemorate the patrioticpoet Qu Yuan.Qu Yuan was a loyal and highly esteemed minister, who brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a result of being vilified. People got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings into the water, hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan's body. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which is on May 5 every year in the lunar calendar. All Chinese enterprises, companies and schools will have a three-day holiday to celebrate. dumplings are essential in this festival. Of course, modern young people will basically add some western food to traditional food. Such as fried chicken, bread, pizza and other foods.
