Dear Jim,
Thanks for your interest in my country’s traditional festivals. And I’m delighted to introduce The Dragon Boat Festival to you.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is one of the most significant traditional Chinese festivals. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to Chinese Lunar calendar.
The festival is said to be in honor of Qu Yuan, a great poet, as well as one who tried all his best to help his own country but failed and committed suicide by drowning himself in Miluo River. The folks respected and loved him so much that they threw zongzi into the river to prevent fish from eating his body. Later it became a custom for people to eat zongzi and watch dragon boat races on that day.
Now we can have a one-day holiday on this festival when all family members can stay together and enjoy a big meal. As far as I am concerned, it is a chance for people not only to have a day to have fun, but also a day to recall the memories of our ancestors and to give thanks to the ones who have helped us. Although Qu Yuan was gone, his spirit will always live with us.
Yours,Li Hua
