Why bad, California ?
China has about the most holidays a year in the world ! About 1-2 weeks each during your 3rd big dates + Women's Day.

Suggest to the govt to break up the present 3 x 1-2 weeks holiday you have and allocate 1 day each to both these festivals or another other festivals that are as important. U will end up having the same no. of days as holiday but into smaller lots.
Do u prefer this ? I think I prefer the present one - can plan to travel long distances.

Hi California,

Of course we should commemorate Quyuan. Those so-called historians try their best to catch other's attention. Sometimes they make up the stories, really. :)
