Dragon Boat Festival 2022: How do we celebrate it?

Aug 7, 2023

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday which occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, which corresponds to late May or June in the Gregorian calendar. The Dragon Boat Festival falls on June 3 this year.

The dragon boat festival is a fun, boisterous holiday. There are many origins and all of them involve some combination of dragons, spirits, loyalty, and food.

Traditional practices for celebrating The Dragon Boat Festival include:
Eat Zongzi – Zongzi is made of sticky rice with various fillings such as bean paste, jujube, and pork belly, wrapped in bamboo leaves in a pyramid shape and steamed. Eating zongzi has become a way for Chinese people to express their homage to Qu Yuan’s spirit and it’s time for family reunion.

Attending Dragon Boat Races – It is an essential part of the celebration. It is meant to drive away evil energy and invite clean energy into your body. The core is the spirit of hard work and solidarity.

Hanging mugwort leaves – a Chinese herbal medicine, on the front door to to protect the household from illness and evil spirits. Indeed, it’s been found that insects are repelled by mugwort and calamus plants.

Wearing Perfume Pouches – Those cute embroidered silk scent bags are not just charming and sweet-smelling, but they also serve a medicinal purpose.It seem to be everywhere at this time of year during the Dragon Boat Festival season, or Duanwu.

Drinking Realgar Wine – There is an old saying: ‘Drinking realgar wine drives diseases and evils away!’ People believed that realgar was an antidote for all poisons, and effective for killing insects and driving away evil spirits.
