The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese calendar. People often eat zongzi and row dragon boats during the festival.
Thousands of years ago, people began to throw rice into the Miluo River to feed Qu Yuan on the day every year, because he died in the Miluo River. They thought he was still alive in the river. Now, in order to remember the honest man, people in China often make zongzi. This kind of food is very delicious and popular. The festival is known for zongzi because men and women, the young and the old all like eating zongzi very much.
The festival is also known for dragon boat races. During the festival, people race dragon boats in many places, especially in the south of China. The dragon boat is about 50-100 feet long, 5 feet wide. And there are more than 20 strong men on the boat. They sit in the boat side by side. At the head of the boat, there is a big drum on it. The drummer plays the drum during the race.
