Dragon Boat Festival is an important traditional festival in China. It fell on 22th,June this year.

The festival, also called Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

“There are many versions concerning the origin of the festival, and the most influential one is related to Qu Yuan,” said Shao Fengli, an associate professor at Liaoning University, adding that it reflects Chinese people’s love of the poet, and also the patriotism that remains the backbone of Chinese culture.

Qu Yuan is a well-known poet and served as a minister of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period (475 -221 BC). As a poet, Qu Yuan is known today for his patriotism and contributions to classical verse. Lines such as “The way ahead is long and has no ending, yet high and low I’ll search with my will unbending” are still spread widely.

“The spirit of patriotism has been deeply embedded into the blood of all Chinese people and has become an important spiritual symbol of the nation,” Shao said.
