Qing Ming Festival: Celebrated annually in April, the festival is held to honour ancestors. Chinese visit the graves of their loved ones, to clean the area and pay respect. Ancestors are held in great respect, and young family members join in this grave-cleaning ritual. This is also a time that branches of the willow tree are hung in doorways in the hopes of warding off evil spirits.
The 1st of June is the most memorable day for Chinese children, as they are showered with gifts by their parents. Entertainment venues, such as children’s museums, cinemas and parks offer special programs free to children and schools hold special parties.
Dragon Boat Festival held on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, this celebration is held to honour a scholar and royal official of the 3rd century BC - Ch'u Yuan. Legend has it that Ch'u Yuan advised the king of events that he foresaw; and as the predictions displeased the king, Ch’u Yuan was banished to an isolated place. On the 5th day of the 5th month his predictions came true, and he drowned himself in despair. Local fishermen tried but failed to save him with their boats; and their wives tossed rice balls into the river so that the fish wouldn’t feed on Ch'u Yuan's body. Today, celebrants eat special rice balls known as ‘tsung’, throwing some into the river as an offering to Ch’u Yuan’s spirit. Dragon-boat races are held to the beat of drums, in re-enactment of the search for his body.
