Ah, now that I reread what you first posted Niph, I guess I have sort of celebrated 端午节 before. For the last three days I've mostly eaten 粽子(stacks of them really), but none of my parents or grandparents actually reminded me of what the festival was about. xd Lol, it's just an excuse to eat some really fancy food. rofl

I love zhong zhi whee heart
I only can eat about half of a large zhong zhi that my realtives makes ^_^;;
I love the fillings, I had a vegetarian one and a meat one, the sticky rice and yellow bean thing tastes good razz

My parents told all kinds of stories why was there this day, I got confused @_@
Something about a guy that was a peasant to a family, there was a flood one day, and the peasant was escaping with his master's family, then he saw someone drawning, he wanted to help but his master wouldn't let him, and said that the peasant was to only protect the master's family...And after the flood, the peasant saw the same person again that was drawning, only this time the person was dead, and he felt really guilty and ended up tying himself to a rock and thrown himself in a river?
Weird story @_@
Then my dad said something about a King that burnt some guys house down, because he refused to work for the king again, and the person stayed inside the burning house and died, so the King felt guilty and made a day to remember him by...
Then there was something about throwing zhongzhi's into the river to keep the fish from eating a body in a lake?

Crazy stories they are eek

I might be abit late..but thank you...and happy duan wu jie...

For ppl who have no idea what it is...it is a holiday to celebrate one of Chinaz famous patriot who died. Thatz as simple as i can make it. Ppl celebrate it by eating zhong zhi (a chunk of icky rice that taste ultra good..with fillings like meat or red beans), hang this kind of herb (suppose to shoo off the bad luck), and dragon boat race
