Dragon Boat Festival (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month)
This festival honors the memory of Qu Yuan (a. 340-278B.C.), poet and high-ranking official of the State of Chu of the Warring States Period. Frustrated in his effort to reform the ducal state politically and unable to prevent it from perishing, he drowned himself on the fifth day of the fifth month in the River Miluo when Chu was overrun by the state of Qin. In this day people eat Zongzi (glutinous rice wrapped in reeds) and hold dragon-boat races.
