The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional cultural festival popular in China and other countries in the cultural circle of Chinese characters. It is said that Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in the Warring States period, jumped into the Miluo River and committed suicide on the fifth day of May. Later generations also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; There are also commemorations of Wuzixu, Cao'e and Jie Zitui.
The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects. It contains profound and rich cultural connotation.

The most important significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate patriotic poets Quyuan, Wuzixu, Cao'e who threw himself into the river to save his father, and modern revolutionary poet Qiujin.
The Dragon Boat Festival, the Spring Festival, the Qingming Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival are called the four traditional festivals in China. The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world. Some countries and regions in the world also have activities to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is a very grand festival. Until today, we still pay attention to the Dragon Boat Festival, and even set it as a legal holiday.

The main customs and habits include dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, picking herbs, hanging wormwood and Acorus calamus, worshiping gods and ancestors, releasing paper kites, drinking Pu wine, realgar wine, cinnabar wine, playing polo, jumping Zhong Kui, fighting grass, etc.
🍒 Dragon-boat Racing
Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that it originated from the ancient Chu people who were reluctant to part with their virtuous minister Quyuan and died in the river. Many people rowed to catch up and save. They vied with each other and disappeared when they reached Dongting Lake. After that, we row dragon boats on May 5 every year to commemorate it. Use a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river, so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. The practice of racing was popular in Wu, Yue and Chu.
🍉 wearing scented sachets
On the Dragon Boat Festival, children wear incense sachets. It is said to have the meaning of avoiding evil spirits and driving away plague. In fact, it is used to decorate the lapel. The sachet contains cinnabar, realgar and fragrant herbs. It is wrapped with silk cloth. The fragrance overflows in all directions. Then it is made of five-color silk threads and strings. It is made into a string of different shapes. It is colorful, exquisite and lovely.
🍇 Hang a charm
The ancients believed that may 5 was a bad month and a bad day. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival day, we must hang a charm to ward off evil spirits indoors. There are also some strict rituals for hanging exorcism symbols. For example, it must be written at the sunrise or noon of the Dragon Boat Festival. The writing materials are made of raw Zhu, and saltpeter must be placed in inkstones and writing people.
🥥 Eat Zongzi
Eating zongzi at the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom in China, but there is a special custom of eating wumi zongzi in aoshanggu village, Suxian District, Chenzhou. Aoshang wumi zongzi is an original local delicacy with therapeutic effect. It is washed and crushed by more than ten edible leaves from the wild on the mountain, such as WuFan leaves, zezichai leaves, Jingang thorn tender head, maple tender leaves, and then soaked in glutinous rice. Inside, there are fillings such as fork roasted and salted egg yolk. It is steamed. It has overflowing fragrance and is not greasy. It also has the effects of strengthening the stomach, eliminating wind and humidity, cooling and detoxifying.
🌿 Moxa stick
As the saying goes, "insert willows during the Qingming Festival and AI during the Dragon Boat Festival". "Ai" here refers to Artemisia argyi. Its stems and leaves have volatile essential oils, and its unique fragrance can repel mosquitoes and insects. Since ancient times, the Dragon Boat Festival has also been a solar term for disease elimination and epidemic prevention. Because it is the summer solstice and the intersection of cold and heat, every family will clean the courtyard on this day, insert moxa sticks on the door, and sterilize.
🧁 Zongzi code games
This is a case that bloggers have written in Java before. A little game about selecting zongzi is now shared with you. Interested friends can try to play it.
package com.caizongzi;
import java.util.Random;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class test{
static int coin = 10;
public static void main(String[] args){
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
for(int i = 0; i!=999 ; i++){
if(coin==0){
System.out.println("Your gold coin balance is insufficient. The game is over. Please recharge");
break;
}
System.out.println("Red bean dumplings*2 Fresh meat dumplings*5 Preserved pork dumplings*10 Bean dumplings*29 Salted egg dumplings*50 Red jujube dumplings*100");
System.out.println("Please select the kind of zongzi");
String ZongZi = sc.next();
System.out.println("Please enter the number of bet gold coins");
int yz = 0;
for(int j = 0 ;i!=999;j++) {
yz = sc.nextInt();
if(yz>coin) {
System.out.println("Insufficient balance, please re-enter $");
}
else {
break;
}
}
int num = new Random().nextInt(186)+1;
if(num<=100 && ZongZi.equals("Red bean dumplings")) {
yz=yz*2;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else if(num>100 && num<=150 && ZongZi.equals("Fresh meat dumplings")) {
yz=yz*5;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else if(num>150 && num<=170 && ZongZi.equals("Preserved pork dumplings")) {
yz=yz*10;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else if(num>170 && num<=180 && ZongZi.equals("Bean dumplings")) {
yz=yz*20;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else if(num>180 && num<=185 && ZongZi.equals("Salted egg dumplings")) {
yz=yz*50;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else if(num>185 && num<=187 && ZongZi.equals("Red jujube dumplings")) {
yz=yz*100;
coin=coin+yz;
System.out.println("Congratulations on winning the prize"+yz+"Balance is:"+coin);
}
else{
coin=coin-yz;
System.out.println("Unfortunately, you did not win the prize. Current balance:"+coin);
}
}
}
}
