I learn from your letter that you want to know something about Chinese traditional festival – The Dragon Boat Festival. I’m happy to share what I know about it with you.
The festival has a history of more than 2,000 years. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth monthaccording to the Chinese lunar calendar. On that day, people watch exciting dragon-boat races and make delicious zongzi, a kind of special food with sticky rice,meat etc. wrapped in bamboo leaves. These two are both done in memory of Qu Y
uan, a great poet in history.
In a word, we all love the festival because it’s a good reminderto look back on history andawonderful time to get together with family. I hope that you can come to celebrate iwith us in the near future.
Best wishes,
Si Xiang
