May 31, 2025: Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in the Chinese lunar calendar
All OKEYPETS employees wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival is an important traditional festival in China, held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The most widely circulated origin of this festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet during the Warring States Period. It is said that he threw himself into the river on this day because he had no way to serve his country and his ideals were shattered. After hearing the news, the people rowed boats to salvage and threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating his body. Later, it gradually evolved into two iconic customs of the Dragon Boat Festival-dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings.
In addition, during the festival, people will hang wormwood and calamus in front of their doors to drive away evil spirits and avoid epidemics, wear sachets or tie colorful ropes to pray for good luck. These customs not only carry the deep remembrance of Qu Yuan and the inheritance of patriotism, but also integrate the wisdom and good wishes of the ancients in summer to prevent diseases and prevent epidemics. The Dragon Boat Festival, with its profound cultural connotations and rich folk activities, has become China's first festival to be included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO.
OKEYPETS arranged a rich afternoon tea, game sessions and lacquer fan making activities, and all employees of the company spent a happy afternoon together.
