The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is celebrated to honor the ancient poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Miluo River as a protest against corruption. To commemorate his sacrifice, people race dragon boats and prepare traditional foods like zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves). The festival also serves to promote community spirit and teamwork through the boat races. Additionally, it is a time to ward off evil and promote health during the summer months.
