The 2,500-year-old Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The traditional customs and rituals of the occasion. which originated in China, have been better preserved in the ROK.
Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the signiticance of preserving intangible cultural heritage when the ROK planned to apply to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization io list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture.
Concern about traditional holidays also reminds people of che growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world.With traditional festivals waning and imports such as Christmas and Valentines Day gaining widespread popularity, the public including cultural professionals have tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms.
Business rather than culture has begun to play a dominant role. More and more people are preoccupied with how much money can be generated during the holidays.
In fact what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is unique culture that contributes to the worlds diversity amid globalization.
