The Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated primarily in China, is important for its cultural and historical significance. It commemorates the death of the poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in protest against government corruption. The festival is marked by dragon boat races and the preparation of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), symbolizing the community's respect for Qu Yuan and their efforts to protect his body from fish and evil spirits. Additionally, it fosters a sense of unity and cultural heritage among participants and observers.
