\tIn ancient times rice dumplings were made from broomcorn millet wrapped in gourd leaves. They had a horn shape like the heart of a palm leaf and were therefore called zong in Chinese, or sometimes, horned broomcorn. In modern times, these dumplings are made from glutinous rice. Now it is customary to exchange rice dumplings as a festival gift. Some say rice dumplings are made as sacrifices to Qu Yuan. People in the past made these dumplings and cast them into the water to feed the dragon.<\/div>\n

The Dragon Boat Festival
\tOn the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar year a boat race is held and people gather all kinds of herbal medicines.
\tThe explanation is this: the boat race on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is undertaken to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan who drowned himself in the Miluo River that day. People sympathize with his death. Therefore they row boats to come to his rescue symbolically. The competitors use light, swift boats which are called “ flying wild ducks”. The two teams in the rowing competition call themselves “ Chariot on Water” and “ Steed on Water”. Prefecture officials and people of prestige all go to the riverside to watch the performance.<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
