Notice On The Arrangement Of Dragon Boat Festival Vacation in 2023

The Dragon Boat Festival, together with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, is known as China's four major traditional festivals. The Dragon Boat Festival culture has a wide influence in the world, and some countries and regions around the world also have activities to celebrate it. In May 2006, the State Council listed it in the first batch of national Intangible cultural heritage lists; Since 2008, it has been listed as a national statutory holiday. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of Intangible cultural heritage of Humanity, and Dragon Boat Festival became the first festival in China to be included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Dragon Boat Festival is a folk festival integrating worship of gods and ancestors, praying for blessings and exorcism, celebrating entertainment and eating. The customs mainly include rowing dragon boats, offering sacrifices to dragons, picking herbs, hanging wormwood, playing noon water, washing herbal medicine, worshipping gods and ancestors, soaking dragon boat water, eating dragon boat rice, eating Zongzi, putting paper dragons, putting paper kites, tying five color silk threads, wearing sachets, etc. As one of the four traditional festivals in China, it not only clearly records the rich and colorful social and cultural content of its ancestors, but also accumulates profound historical and cultural connotations.

On December 8, 2022, the Notice of the General Office of the State Council on the Arrangement of Some Festivals and Holidays in 2023 was released. The Dragon Boat Festival in 2023 will be a three-day holiday from June 22 to 24.
