@chinafocus_official: How Do Chinese People Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival?✨ Celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the Dragon Boat Festival is rich in tradition, legend, and seasonal wisdom, a cultural celebration with over 2,000 years of history. While customs vary by region, here are some of the most popular traditions: 😋 Enjoying Zongzi Sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. Northern zongzi are often filled with dates, while southern versions include meat, sausages, and salted egg yolks. 🐲 Dragon Boat Racing Teams paddle in rhythm to the beat of a drum. The winning team is believed to bring luck and happiness for the year ahead. 🌈 Wearing Five-Color Silk Threads These threads in green, red, white, black, and yellow were seen as protective charms against evil and illness. 🍃 Hanging Calamus and Wormwood Hung on doors to ward off bad spirits. The sword-shaped calamus leaves are believed to offer protection, especially for children. 👧🏻 Realgar Wine on Children’s Foreheads Parents draw the character “王” (king) on their child’s forehead using realgar wine, a ritual said to protect against evil and disease. 💬 Which tradition do you find most fascinating? #DragonBoatFestival #Chineseculture #zongzi #dragonboatracing #DiscoverChina
