–About Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on
the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most
important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and
Chinese New Year.

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.
