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

Across many places in East and Southeast Asia such as Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, and various cities in mainland China like Guangzhou and Hangzhou, June 10 marks the much-anticipated Tuen Ng or Dragon Boat Festival, a vibrant celebration rooted in tradition and teamwork. Originating over 2,000 years ago in China, this festival is said to commemorate the life and death of the poet and minister Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in protest against corruption. Communities come together to race dragon boats, a practice that symbolizes unity, strength, and the communal spirit. The synchronized paddling of the dragon boat teams highlights the importance of coordination and collaboration, values deeply embedded in the culture and philosophy of the festival.
