Happy Dragon Boat Festival (端午节快乐 duān wǔ jié kuài lè )!Well, maybe this greeting isn't appropriate, especially for those who understand the festival's origins and significance.
The Dragon Boat Festival isn't initially a joyful event; it began as a time to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet from over 2,000 years ago, and to ward off evil spirits and diseases.
Chinese people consider the fifth month unlucky, particularly the fifth day (Dragon Boat Festival Day), so their primary hope for the month is maintaining health and safety. To this day, Chinese people still uphold these beliefs and follow various traditions to repel evil spirits on that day.
