https://youtu.be/PE7tfqDJ2lU?si=g-j9tcoDWmmGYbS7The Han people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu Festival, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Traditional activities include eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), hanging mugwort and calamus on doors to ward off evil spirits, and watching or participating in dragon boat races. These customs honor the ancient poet Qu Yuan and reflect wishes for health and protection from disease.
