There is a special festival in China. On that special day, people in Hunan Province always have dragon boat races. The dragon boat is quite long, like a dragon. During the race, about twenty men in the boat make it move quickly. There is always a man sitting in the front of the boat. He beats a drum to make the others in the same rhythm (节奏). From this race, we have the name of this festival.
This special day has another name-Duanwu Festival. About it we have a story. Long long ago, there was a famous poet (诗人) called Qu Yuan. He was famous not only for his poems, but also for thinking of a lot of people. After he died, people eat rice dumplings in memory of him on this special day.
