As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival is our country’s traditional festival, but do you know there is also a Dragon Boat Festival in South Korea, which also falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar(阴历)? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.

As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. "It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China," said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.

It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people.

He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his country's future. When people heard about Qu's death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poet's body.

Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.

A. is also kept by South Korea

On the day of Chongyang Festival，one traditional activity is to climb mountains.However，mountains are not everywhere for people to climb.Therefore，for those people who live in flat regions far from any mountain，the problem is solved by going for a picnic and eating cakes.The Chinese word for cake is Gao，a homonym of the Chinese word for high.Mountains are high，so eating cakes can，by a stretch of the imagination，take the place of going for a climb.

In the Six Dynasties，cakes became the food for the season as the tradition Chongyang Festival is formed with the promotion of mountain­climbing activity.As the cakes appeared in different forms，Chongyang Cake was also called Hua (Colorful) Cake in the Ming & Qing Dynasties and became the food for the season in urban and rural areas.Hua Cake is divided into Unpolished Hua Cake，Refined Hua Cake and Gold Coin Hua Cake.Unpolished Hua Cake is marked with caraway (香菜) leaves，sandwiched with date，peach kernel (果仁) and other unpolished dry fruits.Refined Hua Cake is made in either two or three layers，with each sandwiched with refined glazed fruits，such as preserved apple，peach and apricot.
