As for its origin, one version is that it is held in memory of Qu Yuan, a famous patriotic poet in ancient China. The dragon boats vary in sizes and styles, but they are generally rigged with decorative Chinese dragon heads and tails. Dragon boat racing is not only a kind of sports and recreational activities, but also reflects the spirit of people’s collectivism and patriotism. Dragon boat racing is now among the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

请将下面的一段话翻译成英文
中国经济的高速发展，带来了消费文化的日益流行，同时也催生了一批具有高学历，充分享受资本主义消费模式的年轻人，他们习惯于当月工资当月花。因而被称为“月光族”(the moonlight group)。“月光族”一词出现于20世纪90年代后期，是用来讽刺那些出身富裕、接受高等教育、充分享受快餐文化(fast food culture)的年轻人。
“月光族(the moonlight clan)”总是每个月花光收入，也没有存钱的计划。社会中有一小部分人是“月光族”。支持这种消费观念的人指出，作为月光族可以让他们拥有更多享受生活的机会，过高质量的生活。这种消费习惯在某种程度上也造成了奢侈浪费。月光族或许拥有奢华、高质量的生活，但是他们也会感到缺乏安全感，尤其是当手头拮据的时候。
