At the opening ceremony of the event, the sacrificial ceremony in ancient time was for the first time demonstrated in the form of art. A grand original performance named “China<\/span> in the Songs of Chu” was staged, depicting the scenarios in the songs with local scenery and virtual reality technology.<\/p>\n

This edition’s cultural festival features three major events, including the opening ceremony, a CCTV special program and the second Dragon Boat Festival cultural month. The city also held a series of activities during the traditional festival, such as a dragon boat race, folk performances and a China<\/span>-chic fair, to boost the atmosphere of the festival among local people.<\/p>\n

Yichang is the hometown of Qu Yuan<\/span>, a great Chinese patriotic poet, who was also a minister of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period (475 B.C.-221 B.C.).<\/span> The Dragon Boat Festival is originated to commemorate Qu Yuan<\/span> on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month of the Chinese calendar.<\/p>\n

In 2009, the custom of “Qu Yuan’s<\/span> hometown Dragon Boat Festival”, as a part of China’s<\/span> Dragon Boat Festival, was inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Yichang has engaged in the promotion of Qu Yuan<\/span> culture by building a Qu Yuan<\/span> cultural park, producing Qu Yuan<\/span>-themed play and launching the compilation of the complete works of the Songs of Chu, making Qu Yuan<\/span> culture an important window and a distinctive symbol to show the profound cultural heritage of the city.<\/p>\n
