Dragon Boat Festival(端午节)
Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on lunar May 5th. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating Zong Zi and racing dragon boats. ①People hold the dragon boat races in memory of Qu Yuan, one of the greatest poets in China.

He ended his life by throwing himself into the Miluo River. It was said that people jumped from boats into the river and tried to save him. But it was too late. Also, they were very
③ . They threw rice into the water to feed the dragons in the river. They hoped that the dragons would eat Zong Zi instead of the poet’s body.

Dragon cultures live not only in the eastern world but also in the western world. However, the western dragons look very different from the Chinese ones.
In ancient China, emperors thought they were real dragons. A dragon was a symbol of imperial power.
In China, there were many stories, plays, music, and paintings about dragons. Now, the names of mountains, rivers and places with dragons are countless in China. Also we can call a year “the year of the dragon”. In South China, the Dragon Boat Festival is an important festival.
Nowadays, a dragon no longer stands for imperial power. It has become the symbol of the Chinese nation. However, people still believe it can bring them good luck.
