The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanwu Festival, was introduced first. Followed by the story of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet was from the Chu state during the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). After that, the festival’s customs, such as eating Zongzi, dragon boat racing, hanging Calamus and Moxa, was presented. Then the teacher showed the students how to thread a needle, sew the bag, and tie the knots. After that, the students tried to make their own sachets.
