About Dragon Boat Festival 2027

The Dragon Boat Festival, known as 端午节 (Duānwǔ Jié) in Chinese, falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar — June 9, 2027 in the Gregorian calendar. It commemorates the life and death of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan (屈原), who drowned himself in the Miluo River around 278 BC in protest against government corruption. According to legend, villagers raced out in boats to save him and threw rice dumplings into the water to keep fish from eating his body — giving rise to the traditions of dragon boat racing and eating zongzi (粽子). The festival is also associated with warding off evil and disease, as the fifth lunar month was historically considered an unlucky time. People hang mugwort (艾草) and calamus on doors, wear perfumed medicine pouches (香囊), and drink realgar wine (雄黄酒) as protective rituals. Dragon Boat Festival became an official public holiday in China in 2008 and was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2009.
