Next week it will be time for the annual Chinese traditional festival of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is still a very prevalent and solemn festival among the Chinese people. Essential activities on this day include eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, drinking Xionghuang wine and making incense jiaozi. It is said that eating zongzi and racing dragon boats is to commemorate Qu Yuan, so after liberation had named the Dragon Boat Festival as "Poets' Day" to commemorate Qu Yuan.
The biggest and most mass event of the Dragon Boat Festival each year is the dragon boat race. Every Dragon Boat Festival, the people of Miluo River spontaneously and solemnly hold a grand dragon boat race to recreate the scene of the rescue of Qu Yuan with wooden boats and fishing paddles. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, dragon boats of all colours - green, red, yellow and white - gather on the Miluo River, which looks like a string, an arrow and a sea of people. Dragon boat racing on the Miluo River has been going on since ancient times and is getting better and better every year.
In addition to the traditional activities, Tianbai wish you and your family a happy Dragon Boat Festival, enjoy your holiday!
