The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan， an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.
The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.
Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating Zong zi （glutinous rice）。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves.
Our alphasauna management team took this opportunity to organize an activity of making Zongzi in the company canteen, many staffs all played an active part in this party. Hahaha, it tasted nice although the look of Zongzi is not as good as retailed sales in the market.
·It is also a good opportunity to taste lychee, due to now is just the time for harvest. So, our manager Kitty decided to buy some lychees from the market and give them together with Zongzi to each staff as presents of the festival. Every one is very happy at that time. Kitty finally thanks everyone’s hard work in the first half year and sent her best regards to every one in this special day.
With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.
