The English language name for the holiday is "Dragon Boat Festival", [3] used as the official English translation of the holiday by the People's Republic of China. [4] It is also referred to in some English sources as Double Fifth Festival which alludes to the day of the festival according to the Chinese calendar. [5]
The festival is derived from Chinese mythology: people celebrate the romantic legend of two lovers, Zhinü and Niulang, [5] [2] [4] who were the weaver girl and the cowherd, respectively. The tale of The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl has been celebrated in the Qixi Festival since the Han dynasty . [ 6 ]
