단오절 (드래곤 보트)

세속적 인 휴일 : The festival occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional lunar calendar, the source of its alternative name, the Double Fifth Festival. The focus of most celebrations involves eating zongzi (sticky rice treats wrapped in bamboo leaves), drinking realgar wine (雄黃酒, xi�nghu�ngjiǔ), and racing dragon boats. The story best known in modern China holds that the festival commemorates the death of the poet and minister Qu Yuan (c. 340�278 BC) of the ancient state of Chu during the Warring States period of the Zhou Dynasty.
