🐉 Boat Festival

Today, 10 June, 2024, fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar, is The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as The Double Fifth Festival.

Many believe that the celebration originated in ancient China based on the suicide of the poet and statesman of the Chu kingdom, Qu Yuan in 278 BCE.

The International Dragon Boat Federation governs Dragon Boat Racing all around the world, as the International community has embraced the sport with ancient roots, while bringing it into the present and future.

How 'bout some images of wee dragons playing in teacups to celebrate?

This seems to be a popular theme, as I have many more delightful images of tiny dragons enjoying a bath in someone's hot beverage.

Maybe they are relaxing after the Dragon Boat Races?

    Fun pictures, but I guess I never thought of dragons being tiny enough to fit into a teacup, lol.

    Is that the same as a tempest in a teacup?
