The Dragon Boat Festival is officially known as the Duanwu Festival in Chinese.
Duanwu Festival falls on the 5th day of the 5th month on the traditional Chinese calendar, therefore it's also known as the Double Fifth Festival.
It originally came from China, and just like the Chinese New Year and the Moon Festival, it is now one of the most celebrated festivals across Asian countries.
The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is often associated with the death of Qu Yuan and Wu Zixu.
However, the festival itself has long existed before these historical figures.
Chinese people have always regarded themselves as the descendants of the Dragon, not the fire-breathing dragons from western mythology, but Chinese dragons.
According to ancient texts and discoveries, the actual origin of the festival is most likely a ceremony for worshipping the Dragon.
Rice treats were originally offerings for the dragon and racing dragon boats was part of the ritual as well.
Other than the two traditions we mentioned earlier, there exist many other customs throughout the dynasties.
I roughly grouped them into 3 main categories.
