The Dragon Boat Festival is an important Chinese tradition celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar. Key customs include dragon boat races where teams compete to collect flags, and the eating of zongzi, a glutinous rice dumpling. Superstitions during this time include hanging herbs to ward off pests and wearing spice bags or necklaces to protect against disease, as the 5th month was thought to be an unlucky, plague-ridden time. Traditional foods vary regionally but always include zongzi, while realgar wine was drunk for its believed protective properties.
