The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day

of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival

has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice

（糯米）

wrapped to form a pyramid using

bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats.

The

festival

is

best

known

for

its

dragon-boat

races,

especially

in

the

southern

provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. Thisregatta

（赛舟会）

commemorates the

death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning

himself in a river. Qu was a minister of the State of Chu situated in present- day Hunan and

Hubei

provinces,

during

theWarring

States

Period(475-221BC)

（战国时期）

.

He

was

upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity

to the state. However, when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced

and dismissed from office. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and

corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Miluo River on the fifth day of

the

fifth

month. Nearby

fishermen

rushed

over

to

try

and

save

him

but

were

unable

to

even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by

the State of Qin.

The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his

ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared

and told the mourners that a hugereptile

（爬行动物）

in the river had stolen the rice. The

spirit

then

advised

them

to

wrap

the

rice

in

silk

and

bind

it

with

five

different-colored

threads before tossing it into the river.

During

the

Duanwu

Festival,

a

glutinous

rice

pudding

called

zong

zi

is

eaten

to

symbolize

the

rice

offerings

to

Qu.

Ingredients

such

as

beans,lotus

seeds

（

莲

子）

,chestnuts

（栗子）

, pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often added

to the glutinous rice. The pudding is then wrapped with bamboo leaves, bound with a kind

of raffia and boiled in salt water for hours.

The

dragon-boat

races

symbolize

the

many

attempts

to

rescue

and

recover

Qu's

body. A typical dragon boat ranges from 50-100 feet in length, with a beam of about 5.5

feet, accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.

A wooden dragon head is attached at the bow, and a dragon tail at thestern

（船尾）

.

A banner hoisted on a pole is also fastened at the stern and the hull is decorated with red,

green and blue scales edged in gold. In the center of the boat is a canopied shrine behind

which the drummers,gong

（铜锣）

beaters and cymbal

（

铙钹）

players are seated to set the

pace for the paddlers. There are also men positioned at the bow to set off firecrackers,

toss rice into the water and pretend to be looking for Qu. All of the noise and pageantry

creates an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement for the participants and spectators alike.

The races are held among different clans, villages and organizations, and the winners are

awarded medals, banners, jugs of wine and festive meals.

Raise your head on August 4 and gaze at the stars, you will find something romantic going on in th

V

ALENTINE'S Day in China, the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, falls on August 4 this y

ear.

That is, on Monday evening, Niu Lang and Zhi Nu will meet on a bridge of magpies

（

鹊

桥

）

across the Milky Way

（

银

河）

. Chinese grannies will remind children that they would not be able to see any magpies on tha

t evening because all the magpies have left to form a bridge in the heavens with their wings. Rom

antic legend

The legend has been handed down for nearly 2 millennia. The story has been recorded as far back

as the Jin Dynasty (256-420 AD). Poets composed hundreds of verses on the love story and many t

ypes of Chinese opera tell the story.

The Chinese people believe that the star Vega

（

织

女

星

）

, east of the Milky Way, is Zhi Nu and, at the constellation of Aquila

（

天

鹰

座）

, on the western side of the Milky Way, Niu Lang waits for his wife.

Zhi Nu was said to be the youngest of seven daughters of the Queen of Heaven. With her sisters, s

he worked hard to weave beautiful clouds in the sky, while Niu Lang was a poor orphan cowherd,

driven out of his home by his elder brother and his cruel wife.

Niu Lang lamented over his lonely and poor life with an old cow, his only friend and companion.

The magical cow kindly told him of a way to find a beautiful and nice woman as his life companio

n.

Under the direction of the cow, Niu Lang went to the riverside on an evening, where the seven fair

ies slipped out of their heavenly palace to bathe.

He took one of the beautiful silk dresses the fairies had left on the bank. When the fairies left the

water, the youngest couldn't find her clothes and had to see her sisters fly back to heaven without h

er.

Then Niu Lang came out with the dress and asked the youngest fairy, Zhi Nu, to stay with him. Se

veral years passed on Earth, which were only a few days in heaven. Niu Lang and Zhi Nu lived ha

ppily together and had two children before the Queen of Heaven discovered Zhi Nu's absence. Sh

e was so annoyed she had Zhi Nu brought back to heaven. Seeing his beloved wife flying in the sk

y, Niu Lang was terrified. He caught sight of the cowhide hanging on a wall. The magical cow had

told him before dying of old age:

（

牛

皮）

for emergency use.

With the help of the cowhide, Niu Lang was able to follow Zhi Nu into heaven. He was about to re

ach his wife when the Queen showed up and pulled off her hairpin to draw a line between the two.

The line became the Silver River in heaven, or the Milky Way.

Zhi Nu went back to the heavenly workshop, going on weaving the clouds. But she was so sad, an

d missed her husband across the Silver River so much that the clouds she weaved seemed sad. Fin

ally, the Queen showed a little mercy, allowing the couple to meet once every year on the Silver Ri

ver.

Well-known poem

One of the most famous poems about the legend was written by Qin Guan of in the Song Dynasty

(960-1279).

Fairy Of The Magpie Bridge Among the beautiful clouds, Over the heavenly river, Crosses the w

eaving maiden. A night of rendezvous, Across the autumn sky. Surpasses joy on earth.

Moments of tender love and dream, So sad to leave the magpie bridge. Eternal love between us t

wo, Shall withstand the time apart. (Translated by Kylie Hsu)
