Join us at 7:30 pm on June 2 (GMT+8) to watch a cultural show held by Henan TV to mark the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival.
Adventures on Dragon Boat Festival, one of the TV's Chinese Festival series program, narrates the story of five people, who are all seeking an entrance token for a dragon boat race, set off a competition. The meaning and custom of the festival are revealed in the show.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Duanwu Festival, falls on the fifth day of the fifth month on the Chinese lunar calendar. It was established in remembrance of Qu Yuan, a ministerial scholar and patriotic poet of the Chu state during the Warring States period (475-221 BC). Traditional celebrations of the festival include eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine and racing dragon boats.
