Lesson 4 The Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday. It’s on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. People celebrate this festival in many ways. This year, my family and I went on a wonderful trip.
My family made the traditional food zongzi together with the local people in Yichang. We put pork in the zongzi. They turned out great!
We watched the dragon boat race. These long and colourful boats look like dragons. In each boat, the players worked hard to the beat of the drum. On the river bank, people cheered and waved flags. Everyone was excited!
We also visited Zigui, the hometown of Qu Yuan. I admire Qu Yuan very much. He was a great poet. He had a deep love for his people. I learned much about him from my grandma when I was young. I was happy to be there to pay my respects to him in his hometown.
