Dear Maria,
I'm very happy that you are interested in Chinese culture,especially the festivals. Now let me tell you something about the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important Chinese traditional festivals. It is on the fifth day of the fifth month in Chinese lunar calendar,that is to say,it is not on the same date every year. The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history,which is in honor of the great ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. People celebrate the day by holding dragon boat races and eating zongzi.
There are many traditional festivals in China,such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Festivals play an important part in Chinese culture. It is our duty to respect the traditions and make Chinese culture known to the world.
Yours,
Li Hua
