　　Dragon Boat race

　　Traditions At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager＇s valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Lo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

　　Tzung Tzu

　　A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat， peanut， egg yolk， or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.
