Five Days Festival 五日节
China - Putian
中国 — 莆田
Today is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is also the Duan Wu Festival.
今天是农历五月初五,也是端午节。
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278BC, the patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the Miluo River.
公元前278年农历五月初五,爱国诗人屈原投汨罗江自尽。
Wherever there are Chinese people, zongzi are wrapped on this day to commemorate Qu Yuan.
凡有华人的地方,都会在这一天裹粽子来纪念屈原。
In China, the Duan Wu Festival is usually just a one-day celebration.
在中国,端午节通常只是一天的庆典。

但莆田人却早在农历五月初一就过端午节,而且还连续过个五天。
Duan Wu Festival is also known as Five Days Festival in Putian.
端午节在莆田也被称为五日节。
Putian people eat rice cakes on the first day of the fifth lunar month
