  Falling on the fifth day of the fifth month in the lunar calendar, Duanwu Festival, is usually celebrated with boat races and the eating of zongzi, pyramid-shaped zongzi made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo leaves.

  South Korea’s Gangneung Danoje Festival, which occurs at the same time and has roots in Chinese culture, is celebrated with masked performances and traditional Korean games.

  When the news that the Republic of Korea planned to nominate(提名)its Gangneung Danoje Festival for inclusion in the UNESCO list in 2005, many Chinese people thought China would lose its“patent”(专利权)on the celebration.

  The furore(狂热)eventually died down, but the widespread interest in protecting traditional Chinese festivals remained.The festival has been the focus of such interest.

  Wen Yangyang, deputy secretary-general of the China Food Industry Association,said the association had submitted a proposal in 2005 urging the government to add traditional festivals to the state list of intangible cultural heritage.

  That and five other traditional festivals, including Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, were added to the list last year.

  “Last year, more than 10 000 people signed a banner calling for the festival to be recognized as part of the world’s intangible heritage,”Wen said.

  The Ministry of Culture is reportedly ready to accept application documents for the preparatory list.

  However, Zou Qishan, a ministry official, said China would not recommend the festival for inclusion on the UNESCO list this year.

  Zou added that it was still exciting to see that so much care about the country’s intangible heritage.
