The Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of China,we used to celebrate it on the the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.The festival is to commemorate a great poet whose name is Qu Yuan.

When the day is coming,we will hold many activities to express our fellings.First of all,The most important activity is the Dragon Boat races.All of dragon boat athletes set on the boat and row the paddle at the same time to achieve the victory.It not only symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan,but also we can learn the meaning of cooperation from it.

Besides,the festival has another custom which is eating Zong zi.Zong zi is made of rice stuffed with different fillings ,Ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds, chestnuts, pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often added to the glutinous rice. Then wrapped with bamboo leaves and boiled in salt water for hours.

As for us,we gathered togehter in the in the warm family of JDP,to welcome The Dragon Boat Festival happily.After a busy morning's work,our controller organized us to have a Dragon Boat Festival lunch.By the way, let's have a deeper understanding of each other.During the festival, everyone was very excited, because they all cherished the opportunity to gather together for lunch and chat. After lunch, they also had a simple lunch tea, enjoyed fruit, and continued to finish the after noon work.
