This year, it falls on 14 June and China will have three days\u2019 public holiday from Saturday 12 June to Monday 14 June. During this long weekend, many will take the chance to travel to celebrate the festival with friends and family and visit major attractions.\n\nOrigin of Dragon Boating Festival<\/strong>\n\nThe festival traces back to more than 2,000 years ago, and one of the most popular stories associated with the festival is the legend of the patriotic poet, Qu Yuan.\n\nQu Yuan (340\u2013278 BC) was a well known patriotic poet and politician in the late Warring States Period. After witnessing the collapse of his country, Chu State, he drowned himself in the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth Chinese lunar month. Hearing the woeful news, the local people sailed boats out to salvage his body and threw sticky rice dumplings (zongzi<\/em>) into the water to prevent him from being eaten by sea creatures.\n\nEver since then, to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan each year, people beat drums and paddle out in boats on the river as they once did.\n\n","rich_text_content2":"","title":"","sub_title":"","sub_text":"","display_primary_cta":true,"label_for_primary_cta":"","download_pdf_or_link":false,"download_pdf":null,"download_link":"","primary_video_or_image":false,"primary_image":null,"primary_video":{"video_title":"","video_type":"youtube","video_id":""},"rich_text_content3":"","secondary_video_or_image":false,"secondary_image":null,"secondary_video":{"video_title":"","video_type":"youtube","video_id":""},"rich_text_content4":"","rich_text_header_with_bullet_points":"","left_section_content":"","left_section_video_or_image":false,"left_section_video":{"video_title":"","video_type":"youtube","video_id":""},"left_section_image":17360,"right_section_content":"","right_section_video_or_image":false,"right_section_video":{"video_title":"","video_type":"youtube","video_id":""},"right_section_image":null,"category_title":"CATEGORY","tags_title":"TAGS","category_name":"","entry_title":"","publishing_date_blog":"2021-06-08
