May 5 in the Chinese lunar calendar is a Chinese traditional folk festival with a long history known as the Dragon Boat Festival. According to the legend, it originated in memory of an ancient Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan. A big event during this festival is the dragon boat race, which often draws large crowds of people to the river banks to spectate. Dragon Boat Festival celebrations also include other folk customs, such as eating zongzi (a triangular or cone-shaped snack made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves, some with fillings including pork, chicken, sausage and salted duck eggs), drinking realgar wine and hanging wormwood on the door.
