Duanwu Festival (simplified Chinese: 端午节; traditional Chinese: 端午節; pinyin: Duānwǔ Jié), also known as Dragon Boat Festival (simplified Chinese: 龙船节; traditional Chinese: 龍船節; pinyin: Lóngchuán Jié), is a traditional and statutory holiday originating in China and associated with a number of East Asian and Southeast Asian societies. In Mandarin it is known by the name Duānwǔ Jié; in Hong Kong and Macau by the Cantonese name Tuen Ng Jit. In 2008 it was recognised as a public holiday in mainland China for the first time since the 1940s. [1][2] The festival has also long been celebrated in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia. Equivalent and related festivals in Asia include the Kodomo no hi in Japan, Dano in Korea, and Tết Đoan Ngọ in Vietnam.
