Today is MondayThe Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is coming on this WednesdayDoes anyone heared of this Festival before?
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar, to commemorate the death of the poet and minister Qu Yuan
For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats.
The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs to attempts to rescue the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. We now throw bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet.
The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the longest history
The celebration's is a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions, and displaying portraits of evil's nemesis, Chung Kuei.
