Macau 20 Cents:
Chinese people would enjoy the ancient Chinese Dragon Boat Festival 端午節 (Duyn1 Ng5 Zit3 / Duān Wǔ Jié) by hitting the beach or catch some dragon boat races. Some would commemorate the festival by eating the zongzi 糉 (zung2 / zongzi).
The Dragon Boat Festival commemorates a famous and respected poet named Qu Yuan 屈原, who was also a minister of the State of Chu 楚 that supported the fight against the increasingly powerful State of Qin 秦. Because the King supported the State of Qin, Qu Yuan was exiles for opposing the alliance and wrongfully accused of treason. Twenty-eight years later, the State of Chu was take over by the State of Qin and Yuan committed suicide out of despair of drowning himself in the Miluo River.
The local people raced out on their boats to go save Yuan or at least retrieve his body, that is where the tradition of dragon boating on this day comes from.
In addition, Yuan’s admirers threw rice dumplings into the river so the fish would eat that instead of Yuan’s body. That is why eating zongzi is also a tradition for the Dragon Boat Festival!
