In its most classic form, zongzi is a glutinous rice dumpling, stuffed with either sweet or savory fillings and wrapped in large, flat bamboo leaves.

This year, the student and his parents walked out of the shop with a variety of twenty rice dumplings. While it is possible to acquire both southern and northern zongzi in all areas of Taiwan, loyalty to regional specialties runs deep. While zongzi in northern Taiwan and southern Taiwan both hold the notable tetrahedral shape and are wrapped in large flat bamboo or osmanthus leaves (their greatest difference comes down to the consistency of the rice), southern zongzi tend to be stickier because they are boiled, rather than steamed. The wrapped zongzi is then steamed, and when served warm exudes the soft fragrance of the leaves. The rice of northern zongzi is also sticky, but the grains remain more intact than their southern counterparts. With COVID cases inching up in Taiwan, food markets, malls, and street vendors across the self-ruled island have been eerily quiet as a growing number of residents opt to stay home.

Zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) are commonly eaten on Dragon Boat Festival and can be given as gifts.

Duānwǔ Jié (端午节，Dragon Boat Festival) has long been a traditional holiday associated with many customs and superstitions in China.

I think the irony is somehow suitable. Xiónghuáng jiǔ is made from fermented cereals and powdered realgar (an orange-red mineral, arsenic sulfide). In ancient times, people believed drinking it during Duānwǔ jié can help kill bugs, or drive away evil spirits. The fillings vary from region to region. Nowadays, it’s common to say Duānwǔ jié kuàilè, but there are those who still follow the tradition of “peace and health”, and say Duānwǔ ān kāng (端午安康，”wishing you peace and health for Dragon Boat Festival”). So we suggest you think twice before saying Duānwǔ jié kuàilè. Beside eating zòngzi (粽子) (sticky rice wrapped in a leaf), there are some more symbols and traditions you might not know about this holiday. I think the irony is somehow suitable.

The head of the Qu Yuan memorial hall in Miluo city, located in central China's Hunan Province, Luo Haobo, said that Dragon boat races have thus become one of the most important Chinese festivals.

Another Major League Dragon Boat event presented by GWN (see the full list here), this one happens in Nevada’s Sparks Marina. And if you’re interested in participating in any of the scheduled races, no team is needed. Now in its third year at the Miami Marine Stadium in Key Biscayne, they’ve partnered with Save Our Sisters, South Florida's first-ever breast cancer survivor-led Dragon Boat Racing team. On deck is a cultural village, performances, and a health and wellness village. After a two-year hiatus, the races return to the Charles River, alongside a day of cultural activities including Taiko drumming, Kung Fu displays, lion dances, yo-yo demonstrations, live classical Chinese music, and Chinese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, and Indian dance performances. (According to this article the “dragons” may have existed, but were actually catfish who gorged themselves on the rice and grew to massive sizes.) After his death fans continued to sprinkle the water with rice to feed Qu Yuan's spirit, but the grains were gobbled up by water dragons.

The dance, named Ever-Vigorous，Ever-Improving, is from the performance, Adventures of the Dragon Boat Festival 2022.
