The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the three major Chinese traditional holidays, falling every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. An alternate version of the origin of the festival is that it commemorates the death of Qu Yuan. Npw this practice eventually evolved into the festival traditions of holding dragon boat races and eating zongzi, an angular rice ravioli which is wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed. From an ethnological perspective the boat races can be seen as a form of cultural tradition, but they also express the competitive spirit of modern-day sports.
