Introduction: The Spirit of Duanwu

For those who may be far from home, the Dragon Boat Festival offers a unique opportunity to connect with your cultural roots and share them with others. This holiday, celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, is steeped in history and tradition. From dragon boat races to the making of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves), Duanwu is a time for remembrance and joy.

The Legend Behind Duanwu

Before we dive into the greetings, let's take a moment to explore the origins of this festival. The most widely accepted story involves Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and minister during the Warring States period. Legend has it that when he learned of his country's impending defeat, he drowned himself in the Miluo River. The local people raced out in boats to search for him, beating drums to scare away fish and throwing rice into the water to feed other creatures, thus sparing Qu Yuan's body. These traditions evolved into the dragon boat races and eating zongzi that we know today.
