In Chinese lunar calendar, the fifth day in May is the traditional Dragon-Boat Day. This festival is to celebrate the famous person Quyuan. As we know, he hated the government's corruption,and didn't want to be a part of them,so he dived into the miluo river. In the different regions in China, people will celebrate this day through the different methods. In my hometown, we usually eat rice-wrapped food ,we call it zongzi.And we will drive boat in the river.Also hange mugwort on the door.

Hi,saliyzhu! That's cool and very traditional.You know,the zongzi,dragon-boat and mugwort,something like that.I don't know how I am gonna spend this Dragon-Boat Day since I am in the university right now and I am still wondering if I would go back to my home.I guess I will stay here and maybe eat some zongzi.And that would probably be all.Poor me.hehe. Have a nice day!
