[quote=VIOLET316,236818]Hey,All,tomorrow is another Chinese traditional Festival called Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of Chinese lunar calendar. we eat Zongzi(glutinous rice dumpling) and hold dragon boat race in centre of this Festival.it had a moved story.This festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan,an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river

And,because of their admiration for Qu-Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lou River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.
1,Dragon Boat races

At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager's valiant attempts to rescue Qu Yuan from the Mi Luo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

2.Zongzi

A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Luo River in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Qu Yuan.
There will be a dragon boat races hold Tomorrow at north end of canal in Beijing.not far from Tian`anmen Square(at east of Changan avenue called Gaobeidian,close to Old Furniture Street).
Hope everyone like it.[/quote]
