Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with Us!
The Legend of Qu Yuan and the Birth of the Festival
Step into the annals of history and uncover the poignant tale of Qu Yuan, a loyal minister who met an untimely end in the bustling Miluo River. Legend has it that as local villagers witnessed his tragic demise, they paddled their boats to retrieve his body, their paddles rhythmically beating against the water to ward off evil spirits.
A Tradition Steeped in Honor
In the centuries that followed, the Dragon Boat Festival evolved into an annual celebration to commemorate Qu Yuan's unwavering patriotism. The festival, observed on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, is a time for remembrance, cultural immersion, and spirited dragon boat races.
