Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival, comes on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is deemed by most people that this festival is held to commemorate Qu Yuan-a patriotic loyal minister who committed suicide in the Miluo River. Every year on that day, each household will hang calamus on their gates and doors, drink realgar wine, wear sachets, hold dragon boat race and eat zongzi, a kind of pyramid-shaped glutinous rice wrapped in reeds, among which dragon boat race has no bounds of region and has developed into an international sports event. Up to now, the dragon boat festival is still very common among Chinese people.
