Duan-Wu
Many of us know that in China the dragon is a symbol of imperial power. But not \({\boxed{32} \underline{ }}\) knows about the holiday in which people arrange boat races decorating them with carved dragons.
This \({\boxed{33} \underline{ }}\) is celebrated in the summer, and its history begins 2.5 thousand years ago. Every year boats are specially prepared for this holiday. The history of the holiday is connected with a famous poet of antiquity.
The poet Qu Yuan lived in the territory of China, and at that time it consisted of kingdoms. The poet lived in the kingdom of Chu. Yuan was revered, his talent was appreciated among the nobles and the emperor. But when the kingdom fell \({\boxed{34} \underline{ }}\) the oppression of the neighbouring one, Qu Yuan could not stand the grief. It was his personal tragedy, the loss of his homeland. He was unable to observe what his entire Chu kingdom had become. The poet threw himself into the river from a cliff. His body was never found. Every year, people throw rice into the water, which was wrapped in reed leaves to honour the \({\boxed{35} \underline{ }}\) of Qu Yuan.
The holiday is dedicated to this poet, and therefore is held on the water. The rice that honoured the memory of the deceased is now being prepared in a special \({\boxed{36} \underline{ }}\) . Inside the rice contains a filling in the form of fruit, meat or syrup. A parade or performance is arranged on the square.
The most important tradition on this holiday is, of course, the race. Each boat can accommodate 22 rowers; the boats themselves have the \({\boxed{37} \underline{ }}\) of a dragon. In addition to speed, each team competes in the beauty of the boat, its brightness and splendour. Dragons are part of Chinese philosophy. They represent the strength and greatness of the nation. Combining mythology, antiquity and poetry are the main symbols of this holiday.
