This festival is also referred to as the Dragonboat Festival. There is a legend attached to the (rice) dumplings and the dragonboat which you can read about on Wikipedia.
I'm writing about it here so as to have a record of it and to keep the tradition alive (for me at least) and, to wish you if you are celebrating this festival. Happy Duanwu Festival!
Last year, I included a traditional recipe on how to make savoury rice dumplings, if you're interested to try making dumplings. Last year, it was celebrated on June 12.
Hey look! A Google doodle..
On this auspicious DuanWu festival highly recommended not to eat 'chung' only but to eat together with 'pow' coz add them up sure to 'powchung' *MKT* hehe.
