Happy Dragon Boat Festival from China! 🇨🇳
Today marks Duanwu Festival, one of China’s oldest traditional holidays, celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
What do we do during this festival?
🐉 Dragon boat racing – Teams paddle in sync to the beat of drums.
🍃 Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) – Delicious parcels wrapped in bamboo leaves.
🧧 Wearing perfumed sachets and hanging wormwood – To ward off evil spirits and bring good health.
This festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who sacrificed himself for his country over 2,000 years ago.
From all of us here, we wish you peace, health, and prosperity.
Feel free to ask us more about Chinese culture – we love to share it with friends around the world! 🌏
