Awakening the Dragon
(English book)
In ancient times, the Chinese saw the dragon as both
a protector and a threat, able to bring on rain or cause droughts. To
honor this powerful creature, people created long narrow boats that they
raced in an annual rainmaking festival.
From the wearing of fragrant pouches, to the
consumption of rice dumplings, to thrilling boat races, the dragon boat
festival of today is a celebration of Chinese traditions all over the
world.
