Paddle through time with Yuanxi: Unveiling Dragon Boat Festival traditions
Why do we race dragon boats and wrap sticky rice in large flat leaves every year? What ancient wisdom lies beneath the thunderous drums and fragrant zongzi? From hanging mugwort to wearing sachets, these customs once warded off evil, but today unite us. Join Yuanxi to celebrate this year's Dragon Boat Festival by tasting regional zongzi delights, exploring the legacy of Qu Yuan, one of ancient China's greatest poets, and feeling the pulse of centuries-old unity! Tap to paddle through time with Yuanxi!

Today was Dragon Boat Festival, an ancient Chinese festival during which people eat zongzi, (I ate zongzi for lunch today) and watch the Dragon Boat races. Dragon boat races take place all around the world. I know they are held in Toronto and in Boston and many other cities and nations.
