The Dragon Boat Festival (端午节 Duānwǔ Jié) is a traditional Chinese holiday that occurs on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Lunar calendar. The holiday commemorates Qu Yuan (屈原 Qū Yuán) who was the beloved prime minister of the southern Chinese state of Chu (楚 Chǔ) during the Warring States Period, about 600 B.C. to 200 B.C., and is celebrated by holding dragon boat races and eating sticky rice dumplings called zongzi (粽子 zòngzi). Dragon Boat Festival integrates praying for good luck and taking respite from the summer heat.

The Chinese Tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival As the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, I am reminded of the rich cultural heritage and vibrant spirit that accompanies this ancient celebration. Originating in China, the Dragon Boat Festival is not just a holiday; it's a celebration of history, community, and the resilience of our ancestors. One of the most iconic traditions during this festival is the thrilling dragon boat race. Teams of paddlers, dressed in vibrant uniforms, race across the water in long, narrow boats adorned with the majestic image of a dragon. The sound of drums beating in unison, the cheers of spectators, and the speed and agility of the boats create an electrifying atmosphere. This festival also marks the time when we honor the legendary scholar #QuYuan, who is said to have committed suicide by drowning in a river due to his despair over the corrupt state of his country. To prevent fish from eating his body, people threw rice dumplings #zongzi into the water, which later evolved into the custom of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. As we gather to watch the dragon boat races and enjoy the festivities, let us also remember the values that Qu Yuan represented: integrity, patriotism, and the quest for truth and justice. These values are as relevant today as they were centuries ago. #DragonBoatFestival #DragonBoatRacing #ChineseCulture #QuYuanLegend #Zongzi #CulturalHeritage #Qualitylife #PCBMay

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanwu Festival. It's said that it is to commemorate a Chinese patriotic poet, Qu Yuan. The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great tradition is holding Dragon Boat races. Nowadays dragon boat races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition, making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many kinds of stuffing. These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years, but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese culture. https://lnkd.in/gjfrGAgP #titanium #ti #titaniumbar #titaniumwire #titaniumplate #titaniumtube #titaniumsheet #alloy

Denali update... 0 days to departure... Today is finally there. After a year of preparation, we fly out to Alaska to climb Denali, The High One. Denali lies in Alaska. It is the highest summit of North America and that makes it one of the Seven Summits. Some say it's the worlds coldest mountain. After Vinson on Antarctica, I guess I'll find out. Why do we do the thing we do? Does there have to be a reason? Should it make sense? Does it matter? I think that if it matters to you and if it makes sense to you, then that is reason enough to simply say, why not. You can follow us, TEAMB, on our Garmin map. Simply visit my site buff.ly/3vNYr1b and click the orange button "Volg Arnaud live" (Follow Arnaud live). Want to leave a message? Please do so here. I will follow up after I get back, end of May. Have a great day! P.S. Why the name TEAMB? Let me know when you find out... #arnauddewilde #AdventureBusinessCoaching #Denali #TEAMB #wandelcoaching

Since no one shut down the media bullcrap I say sue the creators like these guys who completely violated the patriot act - why did they think it didn’t apply to Social Media Towers trumpets 🎺 hello So instead of shutting them all down let’s start with the less ethical mocumentaries Like Borat - https://lnkd.in/g3-GqKkp. But now that I’ve given a little preview let me give one more positive for the future cast - to cut out who’s not needed - I’ll help those in need - like- to STOP The Gate of Hell from burning use what’s made out of Borax - ironic right? Salted sand it will take a lot of pushing n shoving to fill it but I think you may research exact pull from based off calculate but you got to cut off the supply tunnel But for a work around just go with the Fire Diamond Theory n since I’m not a scientist you may elevate on that - hence get a head start educational directive to work with. It’s either that or the black volcano ash that might be easier to air travel n drop it like it’s hot…🤷♀️🧏♀️🤦♀️ fine dig your holes there. https://lnkd.in/gqrCPwSH You can still cap into it in use it but may want to give it a few years to naturally regurgitate n melt back into the foundations intended to be Settled like Tums on a stomach ulcer- ugh 😩 Ohhh maybe be creative and turn a crater into a ….nah. Just leave it alone. Some things are better left burried. Again it’s a little giddy but hey comedy is a kind approach to no more Kilimanjaro- point made? I’d hate to have a repeat post up again. #nasa. 1 for the money 2 for the show 3 to get ready 4 we roll Love me some White Mail Races - good for betting on. Always good to do your research I always do mine batteries not included Just real love from above ☝️ I believe that’s all folks - have a good night dawns today with joyful love not war or hate. Judgements day is over so God can do the rest while I sleep in heavenly peace ✌️ #ilovelife
