The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday that dates back to ancient times. In the fourth century B.C., the Warring States period in China, there was a great poet named Qu Yuan in the kingdom of Chu. There came a time when the kingdom of Qin attacked and conquered the Chu kingdom. Out of devastation and concern for his country, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Lo river in what is now Hubei province. The people loved the talented poet and rushed out in their boats splashing their paddles to scare the fish away from Qu Yuan’s body. They wrapped rice in leaves and threw it in the river to feed the fish so they would not bother Qu Yuan. Today, the Duanwu festival captures the spirit the villagers racing out in their boats for the beloved Qu Yuan.

[...] Every June in southern China is the duanwu festival. An ancient legend of a desperate poet and a mourning village is the history behind the festival. The modern reincarnation is a lively day of glutinous rice meals, thrashing water, and finely-tuned muscular bodies. Oh, and the boats. 端午节 or the Dragon Boat Festival carries on customs that have been around for Chinese millenniums. Most exciting of all are the exquisitely decorated and unbelievably long dragon boats 龙舟. They parade back and forth on rivers and lakes all over south China beating their enormous drums as hundreds of men (and now women) paddle and propel the dragons forward with each synchronized arm rotation. I had the wonderful fortune of training for and participating in this year’s exciting competition. What an amazing opportunity to actually be a part of an annual traditional Chinese cultural event. Back in April, a Chinese friend (and former seaborne merchant) and I at Lingnan College started discussing how it might be fun to see if we couldn’t put together a team for the international dragon boat races in Guangzhou at the end of June. We started to look into the possibility of entering a student team in the competition. Not until the races were over and our team was toasting to a long month of hard practice and powerful team spirit would I realize what a unique experience in international management and team-building the dragon boat competition had been. I learned many lessons I’ll never forget. [...]
