端午临近，湖南龙舟要开划啦！

To celebrate the upcoming Duanwu, or Dragon Boat Festival, Daoxian County in Hunan Province launched a dragon boat parade on May 20. Daozhou dragon boat has been shortlisted for national-level intangible cultural heritage items since 2021. Duanwu, or the Dragon Boat Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar to commemorate ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan from the Warring States Period (475-221 B.C.), and has now become a national holiday when people enjoy eating Zongzi and watch dragon boat races.

5月20日，为庆祝即将到来的端午节，湖南道县举行了龙船巡游活动。2021年，道州龙船习俗就已列入国家级非物质文化遗产代表性项目名录。每年的农历五月初五是端午节，是为纪念中国战国时期古代诗人屈原，如今已成为全民性节日，人们会在节日期间品尝粽子、观看龙舟赛事。
