China and the rest of the world are getting ready to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional holiday that starts on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This year, it falls on May 31. Also known as the Bak Chang Festival (Dumpling Festival), it is celebrated in other Asian countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, and Chinese Taipei. In 2009, the Dragon Boat Festival became the first Chinese holiday to be included in UNESCO’s Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
History Tracing back over 2,000 years ago, many believe the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the death of famous poet and patriot Qu Yuan. Festivities differ and are shared depending on the region, including the memorial ceremony offering sacrifices to the local hero. Qu Yuan is honoured in the Hubei and Hunan Provinces, river god Wu Zixu in South China, and Yan Hongwo in Yunnan Province among the Dai community. During the holiday, rituals to ward off evil spirits and diseases in the early days of summer can be seen. Apart from Dragon Boat races, eating sticky rice dumplings called Zongzi is a major part of the festival. Other activities include bathing in herbal concoctions, hanging wormwood and calamus, and drinking realgar wine.
