The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival（端午节）, is a traditional Chinese holiday with a rich cultural heritage and a variety of customs and activities. Here are the main activities associated with the Dragon Boat Festival: Dragon Boat Racing （赛龙舟）: One of the most iconic activities, dragon boat races involve teams paddling in unison in long, narrow boats decorated to resemble dragons. These races are often highly competitive and are accompanied by the rhythmic beating of drums. Eating Zongzi （吃粽子）: Zongzi are sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. They can be filled with various ingredients, such as red bean paste, dates, chestnuts, or meat. Eating zongzi is a central tradition of the festival. Honoring Qu Yuan（祭奠屈原）: The festival commemorates the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the River to protest against corruption. People honor him by participating in dragon boat races and throwing zongzi into the river, a practice that originated from the legend of trying to keep fish and evil spirits away from his body. Hanging Mugwort and Calamus（挂艾草和菖蒲）: People often hang bundles of mugwort and calamus on their doors during the festival. These plants are believed to have protective qualities and can ward off evil spirits and insects. Wearing Perfume Pouches（佩戴香包）: Perfume pouches filled with fragrant herbs are worn by children and adults alike. These pouches are believed to protect against disease and evil spirits. Drinking Realgar Wine（喝黄酒）: This traditional Chinese alcoholic beverage, made from fermented cereals and flavored with realgar, is consumed to fend off evil spirits and diseases. Tying Five-Color Silk Threads（系五色丝线）: People, especially children, wear bracelets made of five-colored silk threads. These threads are believed to have protective qualities and are typically worn until the threads fall off naturally. On 2nd June, we want to teach you how to make zongzi (粽子） and make Perfume Pouches（香包), come and join us. Below is the link to register yourself: https://lnkd.in/eavxsU6a
