The Dragon Boat Festival(端午节)is a lunar holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.农历的五月初五是端午节。

The Chinese dragon boat festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the longest history.在中国，端午节有着很悠久的历史，同时也是一个很重大的节日。The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.
