Dragon Boat Race 龍舟競賽 The boat race during the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom to try to rescue the patriotic poet Chu Yuan. 龍舟競賽是端午節的傳統習俗，當時是為了營救愛國詩人屈原。

Rice Dumplings 粽子 The Chinese threw bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the river. By doing so ,the fish could eat the rice rather than the heroic poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating rice dumplings. 中國居民將竹葉包滿熟飯丟入水裡。因此，魚可以吃米飯，而不是英雄詩人。這後來也變成了每年端午節吃粽子的習俗

Stand The Egg 立蛋 If one manages to stand an egg on its end at exactly 12:00 noon, she/he will be a lucky person in the following year. 若能在當天中午12點將蛋立起，那麼隔一年他將會是個幸運的人。 資料來源: http://www.hitutor.com.tw/dragon-boat-festival.php
