The Dragon Boat Festival was the first Chinese festival inscribed onto UNESCO's List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2009. It is observed on the Fifth day of the fifth month on China's traditional Lunar Calendar.
Some century- old customs are still observed during the festival today, such as the dragon boat race, diverse folk art performances, and eating zongzi— a type of glutinous rice dumpling warped in leafs.
Today, the director and chief conductor of the prestigious China National Traditional Orchestra Zhao Cong and Liu Sha will share some music that reflect those traditions.
