Tzung Tzu
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.
在端午节时受欢迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统则来由於汨罗江边的渔夫，将米丢入江中平息江中的蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。
Ay Taso
The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Chu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.
农历的五月，也就是端午节的这个时节，对中国人而言，除了屈原的故事还有许多其他重要的意义。许多中国人相信五月是一年中容易引发疾病的危险时节，因此必须有许多防备家人生病的措施。许多家庭会将一种特别的植物-艾草挂在门口，作为保护之用，而人们也会挂带香包，它是以含有多种香味的药用植物所做成，也可以保护人们远离疾病。

I feel some terms are Cantonese spell, including sticky rice dumpling (or sticky rice ball).
In addition, the post doesn't cover the captioned topic.
Besides the story of Qu Yuan as the origin thereof, a few other folks and beliefs exists, including the story of Wu Zixu, whom some countries of JiangSu and Zhejiang provinces commemorate, customs of providing offerings to the King of the river, story of confucian's trying to strengthen its eminence over the Buddhism etc. Like most of other Chinese traditional festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival is a mixed of above mentioned folks, with one folk dominenting in a particular area of the mainland.
Further, there's a story on why dragon boat is used. DuanWu has an alternative name as Duan Yan in the past. May 5 in lunar calendar is believed to be the longest and hottest day around summer solstice. In traditional culture, Yang and Dragon are considered to be male. Thus, May 5 should be the Male's day while the day of winter solstice the female's day. That's the reason why Dragon sharped boat is used for celebrating the feast.
Similar folks can be found in other Asian countries, especally the country lies near China. Taking Japan as example, May 5 in lunar calendar was deemed as Boy's Day, which is later decreed as Children's Day and the date was moved to May 5 in solar calendar. On that day, every home with a male child would fly a carp flag for wishing boy health and good luck.
