It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, which usually corresponds to June in the Gregorian calendar. The festival has a history of more than 2,000 years and is closely related to the great poet Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of the state of Chu during the Warring States Period, drowned himself in the Miluo River after his country was defeated. Local people were very sad and rushed to the river to save him. They also threw zongzi (glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves) into the river to prevent fish from eating his body. Over time, these acts developed into the main customs of the festival. Today, people across China celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in various ways. The most famous tradition is dragon boat racing. Teams of paddlers sit in long, narrow boats shaped like dragons and race against each other to the beat of drums. The races are not only exciting competitions but also a way to show teamwork and courage. Another key custom is eating zongzi. Zongzi comes in many flavors, such as sweet ones with red bean paste and salty ones with meat or egg yolk, depending on different regions. In some places, people also hang mugwort and calamus on their doors. It is believed that these plants have the power to drive away insects and evil spirits, keeping the family healthy. For many Chinese families, the Dragon Boat Festival is also a time for gathering. Even if family members live in different cities, they try to come home and have a meal together with zongzi on the festival day. Some communities also organize cultural activities, like making zongzi workshops and dragon boat knowledge lectures, to let people, especially young people, learn more about the festival’s history and traditions. 16.When is the Dragon Boat Festival celebrated?

In the US, Thanksgiving falls on the fourth Thursday of November, while in Canada, it is held on the second Monday of October. The festival has deep roots in history and is a time for people to give thanks for the blessings they have received throughout the year. The origin of American Thanksgiving dates back to the early 17th century. In 1620, a group of English settlers called the Pilgrims sailed to America on the Mayflower. They faced great difficulties in their first winter, as they had no experience farming in the new land and many of them died from cold and hunger. Luckily, the local Wampanoag Indians helped them. The Indians taught the Pilgrims how to grow corn, hunt animals, and fish in the rivers. With the Indians’ help, the Pilgrims had a good harvest the next year. To thank the Indians and God for the harvest, the Pilgrims held a big feast that lasted for three days. This event is considered the first Thanksgiving celebration in America. Today, Thanksgiving is a family-centered festival. On Thanksgiving Day, most families gather for a big meal. The traditional Thanksgiving dinner usually includes roast turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie. Roast turkey is the most important dish—it is often stuffed with breadcrumbs, vegetables, and spices, and cooked until it is golden brown. Many families also have the custom of saying grace before the meal, where everyone takes a moment to thank God or express gratitude for their family, health, and food. In addition to family meals, there are other Thanksgiving traditions. For example, the US president holds a “Turkey Pardon” ceremony every year, where he spares a live turkey from being eaten, giving it a “presidential pardon”. Many people also watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City on TV. The parade features huge balloons shaped like cartoon characters, marching bands, and performances, attracting millions of viewers. Some families also volunteer at food banks or shelters on Thanksgiving, helping those in need to have a warm meal. 21.When do people in the US celebrate Thanksgiving? A.
