Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Greeting from Refine Medical

#ChineseDragonBoatFestival is also #DuanWuJie or #DoubleFiveFestival in China. The festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It was derived from the activities of commemorating a great patriot poet, #QuYuan, who served in the court of #EmperorHuai during the #WarringStates (475-221BC). The most delicious #TraditionalFood for the #DragonBoatFestival is #ZongZi, a glutinous rice ball, with a filling, wrap ped in corn leaves. The fillings can be meat, peanut, dates, mushrooms, or a combination of them. #DragonBoatRaces are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators. #DragonBoats are generally brightly painted and decorated canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length. Accordingly, a team of 20-80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-cather stand at the front of the boat. Competing #DragonBoatTeams drive their boat forward to the rhythm of beating drums.
