Answer:

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chongwu Festival, Tianzhong Festival, etc., is a folk festival that integrates worshiping gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and warding off evil spirits, celebrating entertainment and eating. The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of natural celestial phenomena and evolved from the sacrifice of dragons in ancient times. On the Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, Canglong Qisu flew up to the center of the south, and was in the most "righteous" position throughout the year, just like the fifth line of "Book of Changes Qian Gua": "The flying dragon is in the sky". The Dragon Boat Festival is the auspicious day of "Flying Dragons in the Sky", and the culture of dragons and dragon boats has always run through the inheritance history of the Dragon Boat Festival.
