As we all know, China boasts numerous festivals showing off to the public. For your China Beijing Xian tour, I would like to introduce you some detail essence about Dragon Boat Festival. This holiday is celebrated to commemorate the life and death of the famous Chinese scholar Quyuan who is the loyal minister of the King of Chu. Because he was a very wisdom and intellectual person and his masterpiece conducted all the envy of other court officials. Finally all the official got together to accuse him. During his exile, Quyuan composed many poems to express his anger and sorrow toward his enemies. He jumped to the water and ended his life. All the people felt very sad. They were afraid all the fishes would eate up his body, so the local people start to throw all the sacrificed food to the fishes to protect his body. So the Dragon Boat Festival was aroused at that time. China travel here, you would think what People do during Dragon Boat Festival? The obvious symbol of Dragon Boat Festival is the Rice Dumpling. In China, this kind of food was called Zongzi. In order to celebrate this festival, people would be busy making the rice dumpling, preparing the realgar wine which was called Xionghuangjiu in China and organizing the dragon boats.
