The Zongzi Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese celebration that occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. It commemorates the ancient poet Qu Yuan, who is remembered for his patriotism and tragic death. The festival is marked by various activities, including dragon boat racing and the preparation of zongzi, which are sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. During the festival, families gather to make and eat zongzi, which can be filled with a variety of ingredients such as meat, beans, or nuts. The festival not only honors Qu Yuan but also serves to promote cultural heritage and community spirit. It is a time for people to come together, enjoy traditional foods, and participate in festive events.
