<p>DuanWu Festival is on the way. See, our school is holding a race to rape rice dumplings. It is not who wins counts, but our participation and cooperation that counts.</p> <p>Everyone is busy playing their part: soaking glutinous rice, washing reed leaves, and wrapping Zongzi.</p> <p>This is our headmaster—Mr. Tian. But I have to say: the Zongzi he rapped is not as sweet as his smile.</p> <p>What we harvest from this activity is obvious: ZongZi, friendship, and happiness.</p> <p>DuanWu Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and is also known as the dragon Boat Festival. </p> <p>The Dragon Boat Festival originated in Southern China’s ethnic minority areas. At the first beginning, it was an activity to worship the god of water or the Dragon. During the Warring States Period 2000 years ago, there was a poet named Qu Yuan.</p> <p>He was a patriotic aristocrat from the State of Chu and was much loved by the Chu people. At that time, Chu State was in peril that foreign enemies invaded in the country and crafty sycophants were in power. The whole country was in a mess.</p> <p>Qu Yuan was so angry and in despair that he finally drowned himself into a river to prove his own ideal with death. </p> <p>People heard the news and rowed to save him. However, they failed to find Qu Yuan. People worried that fish and shrimps might eat Qu Yuan’s body, so they took from their homes a special food “zongzi” to feed fish and shrimps in the river. Since then, on each fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the locals have commemorated Qu Yuan through holding dragon boat races and making Zongzi. This practice was also gradually spread to the entire country.</p>
