Everything seems to be moving towards the dream. At the Tokyo 2020
Olympics, the dragon boat race was held as an Olympics demonstration sport
(表演项目) . Though it’s just a ten-minute performance for every team at the
Sea Forest Waterway, the race is really getting closer to the Olympics. Thomas
Bach, the president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), also
came to watch the boat race. Just as the race ended, the China Canoe
Association gave Bach a model of the dragon boat as a gift.
This is the first time that the dragon boat race showed up at the Olympics.
It has greatly introduced ancient Chinese culture to the world.
“I think that for the dragon boat performance at the Tokyo Olympics this
time, we have taken a big step forward for the dragon boat to enter the

China’s Double Ninth Festival falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the Chinese lunar calendar every year. It is a traditional folk holiday focusing on good health and long life. Let’s take a look at some key words related to this festival.
Nine
Nine is an important number in Chinese culture because its pronunciation means “long” in Chinese. According to the Book of Changes (《易 经》), the number six is considered yin while nine is yang. The ninth day of the ninth lunar month in the Chinese calendar features two nines, so the day is given the Chinese name “Chongyang”.

In ancient China, that day was a harvest( 收获 )festival because crops( 庄稼 )were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away and how busy they are, people will try to return home for celebration.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat mooncakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and mooncakes stand for family reunion.
