The Water Festival is the New Year's
celebrations that take place in Southeast
Asian countries such as Burma, Cambodia,
Laos, and Thailand as well as Yunnan, China.
It is called the “Water Festival” by Westerners because people pour water at one another to welcome the new year. The act of pouring water is also a show of blessings and good wishes. It is believed that on this Water Festival, everything old or bad must be thrown away by water, or it will bring the owner bad luck.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the
Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked （一直以来，以...为标志） by eating zong zi and racing dragon boats. The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. This Regatta (赛舟会) is given honour to the memory of the death of Qu Yuan.
Festivals are the symbols of different cultures. We should love our Chinese culture .At the same time, we need to respect(尊重) foreign cultures around the world and try to communicate with them properly(恰当地) and learn from each other.
