A Festive Dragon Boat Festival
Today is the traditional Chinese festival of the Dragon Boat Festival. Here, I wish your life like a dragon boat, surging forward with the wind; a career as fragrant and soft as glutinous rice; continuous happiness and good health always by your side.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a major traditional festival that integrates worship of deities and ancestors, seeking blessings and warding off evil spirits, celebration and entertainment, as well as food enjoyment. The customs include rowing dragon boats, sacrificing to dragons, gathering medicinal herbs, hanging mugwort and calamus, worshipping deities and ancestors, immersing dragon boat water, making zongzi, tying five-color strings, and wearing sachets, etc.
As one of the four major traditional festivals in China, it not only clearly records the rich and colorful social life and cultural content of the ancestors, but also accumulates profound and extensive historical and cultural connotations.At the same time, it also embodies people's wishes for good fortune and blessings, as well as the prevention of evil and disaster.
In the end ,the best wishes to all.
