The Duanwu Festival is a Chinese traditional Festival and also statutory holiday. In English it is also referred to as "Dragon Boat Festival", after one of the traditional activities for the holiday. We would like to promote and arrange the grand ceremony for inside school activity or an even more challenge competition between schools. This will be a great festival not only for fun, but more important to practise children’s team work, encouragement, care and spirit of seeking peak. Kinds of activities would be offered by us such as: Zongzi Workshop; Culture lectures; Folk Game Activity; Dragonboat competition and etc. A more accurate literal translation of "Duanwu" in English might be "Solar Maximums Festival".The etymology and significance of the two terms used to refer to the festival, "duan wu" and "duan yang", namely the summer solstice or longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The character yang means sun, while wu refers to the sun at the meridian or its high point in the sky of the day (high noon). Duan carries the meanings of extremity, upright and proper. The Duanwu Festival is believed to have originated in ancient China. There are a number of theories about its origins. There are a number folk traditions, beliefs and explanatory myths connected to the observance. Today, the best, most widely known legend relates to the death by suicide of Qu Yuan, a Confucius scholar and minister to the King of Qu, in 278 BC an era in Chinese history that is referred to as the Warring States period. Scholars wrote literary works, including poetry. Qu Yuan is commonly referred to as a "poet" and a "statesperson", however he is more properly considered as a ministerial Confucius scholar. The best-known traditional story holds that the festival commemorates the death of poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC - 278 BC) of the ancient state of Chu, in the Warring States Period of the Zhou Dynasty. A descendant of the Chu royal house, Qu served in high offices. However, when the king decided to ally with the increasingly powerful state of Qin, Qu was banished for opposing the alliance. Qu Yuan was accused of treason. During his exile, Qu Yuan wrote a great deal of poetry, for which he is now remembered. Twenty-eight years later, Qin conquered the Chu capital. In despair, Qu Yuan committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. It is said that the local people, who admired him, threw food into the river to feed the fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan's body. This is said to be the origin of zongzi. The local people were also said to have paddled out on boats, either to scare the fish away or to retrieve his body. This is said to be the origin of dragon boat racing. Zong, or zongzi is a traditional Chinese food, made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves. They are cooked by steaming or boiling.
