The Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Festival is an important Chinese traditional festival in memory of the famous poet Quyuan.Personally speaking,it is a festival with so many interesting and typical customs,and I do enjoy being with my families and observing it in traditional ways. People celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in different ways.For me,one thing I will never miss is wrapping and eating zongzi ,it is a glutinous rice dumpling together with dates and red beans wrapped in bamboo leaves and it is quite a delicacy.Another thing is to tie the five-colored threads,and to decorate the house with mugwort leaves and calamus which emits special aroma that could ward off mosquitoes and other insects.Apart from that, some people observe it by holding dragon boat game and throwing zongzi into the river.Although there are many people still celebrating it in traditional ways,more and more people,especially those live in big cities,seldom celebrate it,they would buy zongzi in the supermarket,and they would go out for a trip to relax.Given the pace and pressure of modern life today,people care little about the traditional festival. Traditional festivals are the great wealth left by our ancestor,we should take pride in having such a festival and spare every effort to protect it .
