Living Heritage: #Duanwu
www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202505/30/...
Although tales of its origin differ, the two-millennia-old festival is widely celebrated in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC).
For all you gamers who do #Duanwu, why not celebrate through the weekend with this fun dragon boat racing game cults3d.com/en/3d-model/...
Meme depicting a woman who introduces herself as Yuqin, who is watching a stringed up bunch of zongzi. When she is asked by man next to her what she’s doing, she replies that “Yuqin is tending to zongzi” (yuqin guzong) - homophonous for “playing hard to get” - man in image walks away saying “Bye…”
Naff and nearly untranslatable but made me 😂😂 #duanwu humor
Happy #Duanwu day to those who celebrate it. Also known as Dragon Boat Festival it could be the world's first #gay Valentine's Day, with origins in 278 B.C.

Another version:
#Duanwu #端午 marks the beginning of summer heat and pestilence, and in southern China and throughout SE Asia, it was an occasion to fumigate the household and eat restorative foods wrapped in naturally antiseptic leaves.
Every region has a local flavor: I insist on Huzhou 湖州粽子。5/
I scanned times before us, looked to times yet to come, read the measures of men, and the ends of their plans: who found wanting in virtue may be put to use? who found wanting in good may be still retained? 瞻前而顧後兮相觀民之計極。 夫敦非義而可用兮? 孰非善而可服? -from the Li Sao attributed to Qu Yuan (ca. 340-278 B.C.) (Stephen Owen trans.)
Qu Yuan's 'Songs of Chu' are the laments of one born to "an age foul and murky"
Sighs come from me often
the heart swells within
sad that I and these times
never will be matched.
As it is then, as it is now. 4/

楚屈原像 Portrait of Qu Yuan of Chu by Wang Qi - "Sancai Tuhui" (明朝王圻作品 《三才图会》), published during Ming Wanli Emperor's reign (明朝万历年间出版发行), c 1660
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month— #端午 #Duanwu —we commemorate the death of the poet-minister Qu Yuan
屈原.
Exiled from the kingdom of Chu for his fierce opposition to Qin (which did indeed, as he predicted, demolish all, in its imperial ambition), he drowned himself in the Miluo River. 1/

Saudades dela #DuanWu #SuMuzhe #ZhaoLusi #RosyZhao
Acompanhar a #DuanWu ao longo de 40 eps e ver as mudanças de comportamento, atitudes e amadurecimento foi emocionante.Tudo desde o início estava contra ela e mesmo com todas as perdas que sofreu ela não desistiu mereceu conquistar tudo que tiraram dela, o que ela não pode viver com a família 🥲
Essa cena vai ser muito importante para o desenvolvimento da #DuanWu daqui pra frente, tão lindo ela olhando uma última vez pra eles, pra se despedir😭😭
A cena ficou muito linda e muito bem executada

‼️SPOILER TSOPG‼️
A #DuanWu finalmente lacrou o #Sr.Zhang juro quem suporta esse macho querendo dar lição de moral toda hora, a DuanWu toda ferrada e ele vem com
"batatinha quando nasce se esparra pelo chão..." meu filho tome no seu c* não aguento mais esses poemas
#TheStoryOfPearlGirl
Hoje estreou #TheStoryOfPearlGirl e já posso dizer sem medo: ESSE SIM É O DRAMA DO ANO!!
#ZhaoLusi como #DuanWu vem pra calar a boca dos haters que desde o sucesso enorme de Hidden Love subestimaram sua atuação, atacaram e despejaram comentários odiosos sobre sua aparência.
In the old days, zongzi (dumplings) are thrown into the river on the day of #Duanwu, to feed the fish and stop them from eating Qu Yuan's body. So in the #DuanwuGame, you can slow your opponent's boat down by placing a fish in their lane, which will only swim away if they buy zongzi to feed it. 3/
#Duanwu boat racing extends as far back as the Warring States and minister Qu Yuan, who threw himself into Miluo River. The boats used to be shaped like birds so they could sail swiftly to rescue the drowning poet. Dragon boats only appeared in records during the Southern Song times. 1/ #DuanwuGame
Master Chef of the house, Fudong brings grandma a sweet dish of baicao tou, made of multiple seasonal fruits and herbs. Baicao ("hundred herb") concoctions are traditionally taken in baths and broths. To read more about #Duanwu, here's my article 5/5 snowpavilion.co.uk/duan-wu-drag...
Second Aunty Qi Huilan dabs the children with a sprig of mugwort in a ritual to protect them against the "hundred toxins". Traditionally, branches of mugwort are hung around front doors during the summer festival of #Duanwu, for the same purposes. 4/
Everyone is given five-colour bracelets and pouches to wear and take around with them, made by the ladies of the Hua household. These are traditional #Duanwu ornaments containing popular herbs such as calamus and mugwort, to ward off diseases and insects bites. 3/
Xueting's Sunday #Culture explores #Duanwu Festival via #cdrama Blossoms in Adversity which exceeds my expectations in its depiction of women's self-empowerment in a patriarchy, bringing in issues like chattelisation, domestic abuse, trafficking, without melodrama & stereotypical characterisation 1/
It’s favorite carb holiday again
