As they raced along the river, they beat drums to ward off evil spirits. They threw zongzi, which are sticky rice wrapped in bamboo, to keep the fish well fed and away from Qu Yuan’s body.The racing of dragon boats, symbolizes the race to find Qu Yuan in the river.#chinesewine #ningxia #trynewthings #discovernewwines #winelover #lovewine #winetime #instawines #helanmoutain #Ningxiawine #china #dragonboatfestival #端午节
