As Dragon Boat Festival approaches, a primary school in Qingdao recently hosted an event to immerse children in traditional Chinese culture. Through activities like making zongzi, students are connecting with age-old customs, fostering a deeper appreciation for their heritage.

The air was filled with excitement as young learners eagerly participated in crafting zongzi, a traditional sticky rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo leaves. With nimble fingers and wide smiles, they learned the art of shaping and wrapping these festive treats, symbolizing unity and warding off evil spirits.

Additionally, the children engaged in handicraft sessions, creating vibrant ornaments and decorations inspired by Dragon Boat Festival traditions. Through these hands-on activities, the students not only developed practical skills but also gained a deep understanding of the cultural significance behind Dragon Boat Festival. This immersive experience fostered a sense of pride in their heritage and strengthened their connection to China's rich culture.
