On Dragon Boat Festival， parents also need to dress their children up with a sachet. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth， then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines， and finally string them with silk threads. The sachet will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.
The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese) are very popular with children and they vie with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao.

duanwu festival is a traditional chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the chinese calendar. it is also known as the double fifth.it has since been celebrated， in various ways， in other parts of east asia as well. in the west， its commonly known as dragon boat festival.
the exact origins of duan wu are unclear， but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the chinese poet qu yuan (c. 340 bc-278 bc) of the warring states period. he committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the chu government. the local people， knowing him to be a good man， decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat qus body. they also sat on long， narrow paddle boats called dragon boats， and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow.
in the early years of the chinese republic， duan wu was also celebrated as "poets day，" due to qu yuans status as chinas first poet of personal renown.
today， people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of qus dramatic death.

(As we enter the month of June， we find ourselves already in the middle of the year. However， according to the Chinese lunar calendar， the fifth month just begins and the Chinese people are preparing to celebrate another traditional festival -- the Duanwu Festival.)
The Duanwu Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar. For thousands of years， Duanwu has been marked by eating Zongzi and racing dragon boats.
The taste of Zongzi， a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves to give it a special flavor， varies greatly across China. Zongzi is often made of rice mixed with dates in Northern China， because dates are abundant in the area. Eastern China’s Jiaxing County is famous for its pork-stuffed Zongzi. In the southern province of Guangdong， people stuff Zongzi with pork， ham， chestnuts and other ingredients， making them very rich in flavor. In Sichuan province， Zongzi is usually served with a sugar dressing. Most people still maintain the tradition of eating Zongzi on the day of the Duanwu Festival. But the special delicacy has become so popular that you can now buy it all the year round.
Duanwu is also known as the Dragon Boat Festival， because dragon boat races are the most popular activity during the festival， especially in Southern China. A dragon boat is shaped like a dragon， and is brightly painted in red， white， yellow and black. Usually， a dragon boat is 20 to 40 meters long， and needs several dozen people to row it. Boatmen row the boat in cadence with the drumbeats， as the captain standing in the bow of the boat waves a small flag to help coordinate the rowing. Before the race gets underway， a solemn ceremony is held to worship the Dragon King.
Dragon boat racing is quite a spectacle， with drums beating， colorful flags waving， and thousands of people cheering on both sides of the river. Nowadays， it has become a popular sporting activity in Southern China. International dragon boat races are held in Guangzhou and Hong Kong every year.
The Duanwu Festival used to have other interesting customs that are no longer commonly observed， though you may still find them practiced in some rural areas.
Ancient Chinese believed the day of Duanwu was unlucky because midsummer was just around the corner. The hot weather used to bring various diseases， which could spread rampantly. Dispelling disease and driving out evil were the main purpose of the festival. People would paste on their front doors pictures of Zhongkui， a legendary Chinese ghost-catcher. People would also use cattail and mugwort leaves to drive away mosquitoes and other insects.
Since children are generally the most vulnerable to disease， they received extra care at this special time. Children would wear necklaces or bracelets， made of red， yellow， blue， white and black threads， to keep evil away from them. They would also receive colorful pouches containing fragrant herbal medicines as presents. They hung these around their necks， and would compete with one another to see whose pouch had the finest needlework. Mothers also made sure to bathe their children in water boiled with herbal medicines. Modern science has proven that these medicines are， in fact， quite beneficial to health.
Ancient Chinese believed realgar was an antidote for all poisons， and therefore most effective to drive away evil spirits and kill insects. So everyone would drink some realgar wine during the Duanwu Festival， and children would have the Chinese character for “King” written on their foreheads with realgar wine.

In a few days， grandma will go to the supermarket to buy glutinous rice and rice dumplings， then put the dumplings in the pot to boil， and then brush them out with the brush， and wait until the Dragon Boat Festival day to bring the dumplings.
On the day of Dragon Boat Festival， my mother and I were still asleep. Grandma was calling zongzi. Grandma had prepared several kinds of stuffing， including jujube， peas and pork. I like jujube most， but my mother likes nothing to eat. "Do it!" Grandma said. My mother and I smiled， because my mother is the first time I have zongzi， certainly not the package.

Of all the festivals in China， Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes， not only the family will pack the zongzi， but some communities or units will organize the group to carry on the game of zongzi. Many water towns will organize a dragon boat race， which is magnificent and spectacular.
When I was young， my mother told me that the Dragon Boat Festival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar was first to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan， which gradually took the day as a holiday. My father told me that Qu Yuan is a Chu state living in the past 2000 years.
He is a great poet and patriot and a loyal minister. In order to the people can live a happy life， he dared to point out the king was the wrong thing to do， so the old people loved him. But when the new king came to power， he was unconscious， and did not listen to Qu Yuans advice and claim， and lost an important battle with the state of Qin. The state of Chu was occupied by the state of Qin.
After Qu Yuan heard the news， he died in the Miluo river. The local people are afraid that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuans body， so they can put rice dumplings and other food into the river. After the death of Qu Yuan， the local legend went to the sky on a dragon boat. It was at the beginning of May each year five Dragon Boat Festival， dumplings， dragon boat racing has become an important activity.
In China， people like Dragon Boat Festival very much. Now people in the city are busy with their own work， so they cant sell their zongzi Festival， so they go to various supermarkets to buy. In the supermarket there are many types of dumplings， rice dumplings with bacon， candied dumplings， dumplings and so on， very much the pattern.
After the dumplings are cooked in a pot， open the lid of the pot and smell it. It is full of the fragrance of the dumplings in the house， tasting a mouthful， and the sweet taste of the glutinous rice in the full mouth. Besides eating zongzi， people can also watch dragon boat racing. On the river， the dragon boat in front of the leading high， vivid. The whole dragon boat was narrow and long.
There was a big drum in front， and one after another sat a lot of strong young men. With the sound of the drums， they paddled neatly on the surface of the water. For a while， splashing， drums， voice and the sound of refueling on the riverbank were coming up. The scene was magnificent and spectacular.
I like the Dragon Boat Festival， not only because it can eat delicious zongzi， see the wonderful dragon boat race， and more like its historical connotation. Every time I pass the Dragon Boat Festival， I can always think of Qu Yuan， think of his slamming and long sword， reciting "Li Sao" in the mouth， walking between the rivers and lakes， his loyalty and perseverance. His literary grace influences the generation of Chinese. If we compare traditional Chinese festivals to a piece of silk with jewels， then the Dragon Boat Festival is a bright pearl on the silk.
