The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese Festival that corresponds to late May or June in the Gregorian calendar. Duanwu (Chinese: 端午; pinyin: duānwǔ), as the festival is called in Mandarin Chinese.
It is also called Dragon Boat Festival, or Longzhou Jie (龙舟节) in Chinese, because of its close association with dragon boats. Chinese people attach great cultural significance to dragons. The two main activities during the festival are eating zongzi (rice dumplings) and boat races, and both are related to dragons.
Zongzi has long been thrown into rivers as offerings and sacrifices to the Dragon God on lunar month 5 day 5, while dragon boats are used in races traditionally held on this day. So, it is also called the Dragon Boat Festival.
