Every May or June, the fragrance of reed leaves fills the air. The Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu Festival, falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. In Chinese, “duan” means “outset”, and “wu” is the shortened form of the fifth month in the lunar calendar. Thus, the day is called “duanwu” by the Chinese. The way it has been celebrated has varied across time and place. As many as twenty names for the festival are mentioned in historical records.
