Traditions of Dragon Boat Festival

Haizhen

Today's topic is about the history and benefits of traditions practiced at the Dragon Boat Festival.  It is a popular holiday celebrated by most Chinese all over the world to honor a minister named Qu Yu in Chinese history for his patriotism.  On this holiday, Chinese people eat Zongzi (sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves), eggs, drink realgar wine,  hang mugwort leaves and calamus leaves on the doors of houses,  and wear herbal sachets with mugwort leaves, calamus leaves, and realgar as bug repellents.  Modern Chinese simply practice these traditions on this holiday without knowing the healing benefits behind these traditions. In today's episode,  I'd like to share the history and benefits of these traditions. So we could apply these during the summer season to improve our quality of life during the hot and humid summer season.
