What gift should I give for the Dragon Boat Festival?

Dragon Boat Festival presents include wormwood, zongzi and cultural derivatives.

First of all, wormwood

There is a traditional custom called dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival, and wormwood is used in the dragon boat race. Therefore, sending wormwood is not only a traditional gift, but also can be used in activities held during the Dragon Boat Festival, which has practical value. In addition, wormwood is a natural perfume, which can repel mosquitoes, so it is a very practical gift.

Second, zongzi

Zongzi is an essential food for the Dragon Boat Festival, so giving Zongzi is a traditional gift. There are many kinds of zongzi in the market, with different tastes, such as salty zongzi, red bean paste zongzi and egg yolk zongzi. You can choose the one that suits your taste. It is particularly worth mentioning that there are many handmade zongzi shops now, and their zongzi tastes more delicate, which is a good choice.

Third, cultural derivatives.

Dragon Boat Festival is a festival in China traditional culture, so it is also a good choice to send some cultural derivatives. For example, send a book telling the traditional story of the Dragon Boat Festival, or a beautifully designed T-shirt with the theme of the Dragon Boat Festival. These gifts can help you learn more about China culture.

The significance of Dragon Boat Festival

First, in memory of Qu Yuan.

Qu Yuan was a minister of Chu in the pre-Qin period and a great patriotic poet. He loved his country and people deeply, but he was miserable because he was excluded by the nobility, and finally died in the Miluo River. In memory of this great poet, people eat zongzi and throw it into the river on the Dragon Boat Festival to express their memory of Qu Yuan.

Second, celebrate the harvest.

Dragon Boat Festival is in summer, which is the harvest season after farmers' hard work. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people will pick wormwood and cook zongzi to celebrate the harvest. At the same time, the Dragon Boat Festival is also the season of dragon boat racing. In this traditional competition, we express our blessings and thanks to the fishermen who go fishing in the sea.
