Dragon Boat Festival The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China to commemorate a great man. Over two thousand years ago, there was a minister named Qu Yuan that was an advisor to the Emperor. He loved China and its people. He advocated a policy of alliance with neighboring states to protect his people from the threat of surrounding governments. Unfortunately the emperor was infl uence by corrupt and jealous counselors, which led to the downfall of his state. Qu Yuan was bitter and frustrated with the Emperor. Legend says that he took his life by ritual drowning in a river. The towns people raced with their boats to their beloved min-ister but could not save him. They scattered rice from their dumplings to protect Qu Yuan's body from fi shes. But, alas, Qu Yuan was lost to the River Dragon. The Festival is on May 5th according to the Lunar Calendar. I remember when I was young celebrating this day with special dishes such as rice dumplings wrapped in reed leaves and salted duck eggs. There are several different types of rice dumplings - sticky rice with red bean or with pork, egg, mush-rooms, peanuts and dates. My favorite rice dumpling was with pork, mushrooms and peanuts. Today I fullfi lled a dream. When I was a child, I lived in the city and never had the opportunity to participate in a Dragon Boat Race. Today I race to honor our beloved Qu Yuan. Bob
