There is an interesting festival in China. On that special day, people in Hunan province always have a dragon boat match. The dragon boat is quite long, like a dragon. There are pictures of dragons on each side. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. During the match, about twenty men in the boat make it move as fast as it can. Among them stands another man. He beats a drum  to make the others boat in the same rhythm . It's an exciting match, especially when they are reaching the end. The audience along the lake shout for their favourite team. From this match, we have the name of the festival--the Dragon Boat Festival. This special day has another name---Duanwu Festival. In it we have a story. Long, long ago, there was a famous poet  called Qu Yuan. He was famous not only for his poems, but also for thinking a lot for  the people. After he died, people eat rice dumplings in memory of him on this special day. From where does the name come?
