The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history of more than 2,000 years. It usually comes in June. There are some interesting traditions during the festival.
The dragon boat race is one of the most important traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival. People in the south and southeast of China usually have dragon boat races at the Dragon Boat Festival, because there are many lakes and rivers in the south of China. The dragon boat is made of wood. It looks like a Chinese dragon with a dragon head on one side of the boat. It has a long body. There are usually 18 to 22 people in a standard(标准的) dragon boat for races.
Eating zongzi is another important tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival. In China, almost every family will eat zongzi when the festival comes. Zongzi is a rice dumpling usually wrapped(包) in bamboo or reed leaves, with different fillings(馅). People in the south prefer salty ones, but people in northern China prefer sweet ones.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people usually hang calami(菖蒲) and wormwood (洋艾) on their doors. They help people drive away the insects. People believe the smell of wormwood and calami can help them avoid(防止) diseases.
