The AIRR Tech Team jumped into their dragon boats and raced to debut a new web page on Duan Wu Jie, the Taoist Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional celebration held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year to commemorate the life and death of Qu Yuan, a culture hero of the Zhou Dynasty (1046-256 BCE). This year Duan Wu Jie falls on June 10th, so you just have time to get your ingredients together and make a splendid batch of zong zi sticky rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves! Catherine Yronwode wrote the page, with proofreading by Papa Newt and Nagasiva Yronwode. Papa Newt did site-wide linking, Nagasiva sourced the photographs by Shiyali, ChinaImages, and Ricky Herawan84, and Nagasiva created this graphic announcement. Check out our colourful new page on The Dragon Boat Festival -- and follow us through the year as we debut each new AIRR page on the major Taoist festivals in turn, during this auspicious Year of the Dragon!
