The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, has nearly 30 “nicknames(昵称)” because of its different stories and customs across the country.
Unlike other holidays which are usually greeted with the word “happy”, such as “Happy New Year,” the Dragon Boat Festival is not suitable for this usage. Why Because traditionally, the day has been thought of as an “unlucky” day. The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar, the beginning of summer season. During hot weather, people can easily fall ill and diseases can spread. It makes the day look unlucky, so people in ancient China regarded it as an important time to prevent diseases.

Born into a noble(贵族) family in the State of Chu, he first served as a high-level official in Chu but finally died for his country. So people show their great honor(尊重) to him on Dragon Boat Festival. Qu wrote many famous poems during his life.

Dear Jim,
I am so glad to hear from you. My favorite traditional Chinese festival is Mid-Autumn Festival, because I can eat mooncakes.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It usually falls in September or October every year. On this day people usually go back home to get together, enjoying a large meal with their family.
