The festival originated in the third century BC in China, when Qu Yuan, minister of the Chu kingdom and one of the most distinguished poets in Chinese history, drowned himself at the bank of the Miluo River after being blamed for a loss in battle. To honor his memory, local inhabitants raced their boats on rivers to save him from drowning.
We celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival with a company potluck. We have lots of fun and eat delicious food! Taste the Zongji which was made by Ranny's mother, How wonderful!
