#dragonboat festival

[magicalflyingart]

Dragon Boat Festival is on June 10th! The food to eat during that festival is zongzi, so I've made a sticker set for the occasion. Which character is your favourite?

You can contact me if you'd like to buy one (or a few lol) or you can visit Hello Neighbour in Taipei because these will be in their store starting tomorrow!

(And maybe a bonus sticker that I'll post later???)

June CPNs round-up ❤️💛💚

• Children’s Day candies

• similar we11done pants - i personally love seeing them in same style clothing, especially if it’s as unique as this.

• LOZ preview candies: having the same braincell playing w/ an abacus & the ok gesture reappears

• i can’t link it here because the posts are locked over at weibo, but someone on douyin commented they saw wyb on set of LOZ. but then later on said that they were mistaken. hmmm. you can take it as it is, that this person said something he shouldn’t have. or that he retracted his statement to prevent any problems or rumors. as with these things anyway, we will know as time goes by and as we see clues here and there. i’m just archiving this incident here for future use.

• Beijing same city 6/5 to 6/7 before wyb flew abroad for the french open.

• 6/6 XZ chongqing photos candies 📷

• WYB and the innocence of the little prince

• Look at them and their hats and long hair!

• french embassy paying attention to THEM!

• GG spotted wearing green tod’s shoes! and it looks like they purposely matched their airport fits 😭😭

• XZ’s dragonboat festival photos

• 6/11 xz and wyb together on the hot search

• The similarity in their ELLE magazine previews. you can say that it’s the editing from the same magazine publication that’s why this happened but it’s so uncanny!!!!

• weibo opening screen of their movies winning at weibo movie night!!!!

• August issue of MOVIE STAR magazine featuring them for CQL 5th anniversary!!!!

• venchi chocolate

• new apple watch after spending time in beijing

• rolex daytona paul newman 6263

• XZS chongqing vlog: stone island wardrobe, suitcase, ipad and same city (shanghai) - what i didn’t include here about the suitcase is that, i like the cpn of wyb bringing home stuff that xz’s parents ( in chongqing where he came from before shanghai ) has asked him to give yibo. it may be food items and other things and it makes sense that yibo is the one to take it back.

• 6/16 xiao zhan weibo posts a 🐽 and them posting so close to each other & some more clowning about a sus necklace, 18:23 and venus - i swear! this made me lose my mind! xz is so loud 🗣️🗣️🗣️on yibo’s end we got him imitating the family picture

and i forgot to add the betty boop that looked like she’s wearing luffy’s outfit!

• 6/17 zsww fake rumor

• a cpn compilation about the pig 🐽

• Loewe candies + them being in europe at the same time for 622

• going back to Beijing the same day 6/23!

• rufeng posts new audio snippet where wyb implies he is not jealous of wwx and wq

• them being number 1 for the respective weeks their new endorsements were announced. king behavior!

• tod’s x loewe business photo shoot looks! it’s matching!

• another example of ybo and xzs similarity ( yibo moment )

• the bonus content this month is a tarot card reading done for the boys. if you’ve been following me for some time you’ll know that this is my guilty pleasure when it comes to them. i understand it’s out there so feel free to skip. here is the original video. i will just share here the interesting part that made cpfs 👀.

reading was made 6/19 and people were asking about if whether they will go to europe together. the person said that it’s within the month and not a two person trip cause they will have people with them. and that they have been preparing for this. a section also explained how their state is, that it’s treating one like a husband and they will stay sweet forever. also how the two will remain “hot” or popular. and— that they will sign a contract to put themselves in equal footing which is not limited to a marriage certificate etc.

a part of it too which was asked is how wyb’s relationship is with his dad + i guess how he is taking the romance between him and xz plus other things ( probably ) idk how cpfs thought of asking this. i’m not implying anything okay? the question was “Has the father’s attitude softened?” OP said that wyb has not returned home during this period and him & his father is always separated by by geographical distance. there is no time to sit down and talk with his father so the final result is still a deadlock.But they have to talk and wyb needs to take the initiative to speak to his father.

• adding this here cause it’s blowing my mind how much they look alike recently. like this airport video of xz. i mean. he even move kinda like wyb. LIKE…WHAT…..

-END. See you next month!

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Li Lianhua and his two men come to the city of Suzhou to watch the boat from Tianji Manor race. They find that they are actually very proud of each other.

Partially inspired by a discussion with @junemermaid in the comments of my fic "Sweet Eyes".

No WIP Wednesday this week, as I took this Wednesday evening to kick my oldest WIP out there into the world.

[stiltonbasket]

the jingshi kitties are upset that the human baos in the household get cute outfits but they don't? wangxian are making them warm clothes for the winter, especially the ones with less fur? The kitties also especially like the little themed bandanas they get for special occasions. the new years' ones are red with lucky patterns stitched on in yellow, and the dragonboat festival ones have dragons.

They get tiny dudous for summer, and hooded capes + socks in the winter! Their favorite summer outfits are the dragon-patterned ones. ❤️

[yinyuedijun]

hehe hello again mao it is me the zongzi anon

dan heng is also my fav (hence why i follow you) and i think it would also be fun to get the express crew into boat racing!! i was in hk last summer for dragonboat festival and i've always thought it would be cool to get to be out on the water feeling the adrenaline.

pompom can be the drummer keeping everyone on beat :)

POMPOM AS THE DRUMMER please that's so cute !!! 🥺💞 I have never done dragon boating myself 💔 but I could totally imagine danheng doing it....actually makes me feel insane thinking abt watching him in a sleeveless shirt, his arms flexing as he rows.... mr welt too... sorry let me compose myself.

I feel like dan heng and welt would sit at the front with impeccable timing, making sure that everyone else is synced up!!! and himeko would be in the back to steer. then march and trailblazer would just be fumbling and getting distracted in the middle lol. I wonder who else they would recruit for paddling? from an eye candy perspective I'd hope for gepard and dr ratio..... ACHERON TOO....

Happy Dragonboat Festival 2023 (June 22-24th)

THE TALE OF FOOD

RICE DUMPLING - STORY # 1

━

Eve of the Dragonboat Festival

"Let loose a groan and cover your tears, grieve for the people who live in pain..."

The setting sun shines upon waters rippling in the breeze, glittering the dragon scales beneath the lake.

Candied Hawthorn and Spring Roll sit beside the rail and kick the water with their feet as they recite Li Sao with Rice Dumpling.

RICE DUMPLING : It is this that my heart takes most delight in. Even if I died nine times over, I would not regret a thing. For if such is what my heart truly desires, I'd gladly suffer a million deaths with no regrets!

CANDIED HAWTHORN : If such is what my heart truly desires, I'd gladly suffer a million deaths...?! Deaths with no regrets?

CANDIED HAWTHORN : Whoah... That's so scary... Master, Professor Zongzi is saying things a thousand times scarier than the exams of Professor Shi! What is Li Sao anyway? I still know nothing about it!

OPTION 1 : "Focus on your lesson! It's an ancient style of poetry!" Rice Dumpling closes his books and gives a hint of approval with a slight nod. RICE DUMPLING : Li Sao, a poem composed by Qu Yuan, is a novel style of poetry that started a new genre known as the saoti poetry composed of saoti lines. Therefore, Qu Yuan's poetry is known as a classic example of the saoti style. CANDIED HAWTHORN : Salt... Salty...? Professor Zongzi, I'm... I'm even more confused than ever! OPTION 2 : "Just the rantings of someone having a bad day. CANDIED HAWTHORN : Oh, I've got it! I guess Qu Yuan is just like Professor Zongzi and enjoys writing things when he's having a bad time. RICE DUMPLING : Ahem...! Enough with this nonsense.

RICE DUMPLING : There is no need to rush things. Verses of chu is not a simple literary style, and it will take you time to appreciate it. You can simply observe how I recite the poetry and try to resonate with the emotions conveyed.

RICE DUMPLING : Long, long, had been my road and far, far was the journey; up and down I would go to seek my heart's desire...

"Long, long, had been my road and far, far was the journey; up and down I would go to seek my heart's desire..."

RICE DUMPLING : The journey is far, but my will shall remain strong. I shall pursue my ideals, no matter how deep or lofty they may be.

RICE DUMPLING : Perhaps Lingjun himself recited these lines as we walked along the river bank centuries ago.

Rice Dumpling holds the book close to his heart. His sorrow grows evident as he gazes upon the rippling waters.

Little Hawthorn and Spring Roll place their hands upon their chests and gaze far out into the lake.

Rice Dumpling suddenly sees a fragile figure walking amongst the reeds, holding a white tangerine blossom as he slowly disappears out into the lake...

RICE DUMPLING : Lingjun?!

RICE DUMPLING : At last... I actually found you! No... No, I won't let you die all alone like this! Wait for me, Lingjun, my dear friend!

RICE DUMPLING : To the sage of truth and virtue, I shall emulate your actions!

Rice Dumpling runs toward the illusion with open arms and falls into the lake.

CANDIED HAWTHORN : To the sage of truth and virtue, I shall emulate your actions!

SPRING ROLL : ...To the sage of truth and virtue, I shall emulate your actions! HAIYAH--

*SPLOSH* The students quickly copy Rice Dumpling's action and dive into the lake as well.

RICE DUMPLING : Why?! Why did you jump into the lake!?

The huge lake has its own deep currents and quickly engulfs the children... They splash around with all their might and just as it seems as though they will slip beneath the surface...

Several long canoes appear on the horizon and quickly skim across the lake's surface.

Ever since the Kongsang Office announced the rules for the Dragonboat Tournament, the Food Souls have divided themselves into teams based on the nations of the Warring States period. And Mapo Tofu often trains here with the crew of "Team Great Qin".

MAPO TOFU : Tuck your bellies in, raise your chests up high, and your hips as well! IN, PULL, DRAW, AND AGAIN-- WORK THOSE OARS AND PLUNGE THEM DEEP!

MAPO TOFU : Hey, Braised Pork Hock, why are your eyes darting around?

BRAISED PORK HOCK : Look! Master is standing on the coat and trying to tell us something... Let's get closer... Keep moving closer! Oh, dear, something bad has happened!

BRAISED PORK HOCK : Don't worry, kids! I'm here to save you all!

Team Great Qin pulls the drowning Food Souls out of the water. Rice Dumpling is the last one they rescue. His gaze remains cloudy and confused...

MAPO TOFU : Alright, nerd. You're safe o n shore! Hey, stop leaning against the Master already!

Rice Dumpling struggles to open his eyes. He points at Mapo Tofu and begins to weep...

RICE DUMPLING : Ling... Lingjun... My friend... You did all this just for us... You even got those freckles...

MAPO TOFU : What the hell? No one talks about my freckles that way!

RICE DUMPLING : Hngh... My ears are burning... You... You're Mapo Tofu-- But where's Lingjun? Where did he go?

MAPO TOFU : Lingjun? Legion? No idea. The only legion on this boat is the mighty team of Great Qin!

RICE DUMPLING : What? You don't even know who Lingjun is...? That's unacceptable! You can't row dragonboats properly without understanding the faith and beliefs of Qu Yuan.

RICE DUMPLING : My bag has a few anthologies of poetry that will help explain this event... Please, Master, hand them out for me.

OPTION 1 : Take out the book titled Verses of Chu: Beginner's Guide to Mastery An impatient Mapo Tofu grabs the book and flips through a few pages. RICE DUMPLING : ...That chapter you're reading is the famous dialogue between Qu Yuan and a fisherman about the nature of rivers. RICE DUMPLING : Alas. My dear friend once said that his entire world entered a drunken stupor while he was the only one who remained sober... MAPO TOFU : I just see two monks reciting bad mantras. He said the entire world is drunk, but I'm not drunk. No one ever gives me a drink! RICE DUMPLING : The dragonboat races are held to commemorate my dear friend. Your team would lack spirit if they fail to understand his true personality... OPTION 2 : Take out the book titled My Friend Is Like The Fog And Fire And Wind. RICE DUMPLING : Master, this biography might be a little too hard for someone like him. RICE DUMPLING : My friend has a mind as mysterious as the mist, a temperament as hot as fire, and a style of prose as elegant and free as the wind. MAPO TOFU : Oh! Isn't that a line from that cringy ass Warring States fanfic that everyone was talking about a few months ago? RICE DUMPLING : The dragonboat races are held to commemorate my dear friend. Your team would lack spirit if they failed to understand the true depths of his personality.

MAPO TOFU : Geez. Many, many centuries have passed. Dragonboat racing is now a sport that's all about muscle and power. We're definitely not doing your esoteric mumbo-jumbo.

MAPO TOFU : In fact, I think we should emulate the meat GOAT player known as Zhang Yi of Qin!

Rice Dumpling makes a big decision as he looks at the tanned rowers of Team Qin, whose muscles gleam in the blazing sun. He closes his eyes, and clenches his fists.

RICE DUMPLING : The spirit of Qu Yuan shall endure. I shall prove it to you all! In several weeks at the site of the Dragonboat Tournament...

RICE DUMPLING : Team Jingchu shall defeat Team Great Qin!

━

The following morning...

As usual, the rowers of Team Jingchu are focused upon one thing as they wait in the shallow pool in the woods...

CURED MEAT PLATTER : Hey! Fish Head! Let's got a little bit to the right... I think I can feel the giant salamander hiding under the stone!

Team Jingchu busies themselves fishing as usual. The narrow dragonboat darts amongst the rocky shore and is laden with cathces of fish and shrimp.

CHILI FISHHEAD : Stop pushing me! There's a crab with huge pincers! It might grab my scarf!

CURED MEAT PLATTER : Woah! Look at that huge crab! I'll catch it with my blade, and we shall feast like kings by the bonfire tonight~!

The blade flashes and the crab is sent flying with a crack. The creature flies across the sky until it reaches the shore and manages to cling to dear life by grabbing someone's hair...

RICE DUMPLING : ...

CURED MEAT PLATTER : C-Captain? Well... You came at precisely the right time!

RICE DUMPLING : A bunch of fools are intoxicating with thoughts of pleasure and feasts... You're as hopeless as the Court of Chu before her demise.

RICE DUMPLING : I am here to supervise your proper training for the Dragonboat Tournament. From this day forth, there will be no more fooling around and no more wasting time.

RICE DUMPLING : I've been up all night reading through your information and asked Oyster Omelette, a seasoned sailor, to come up with a comprehensive training regime.

RICE DUMPLING : Hear! It begins with a five-kilometer run around the woods and a hundred sets of rowing exercises underneath the waterfall. We shall do whatever it takes to reinvigorate the martial spirit of Jingchu!

━

Two weeks later...

Rice Dumpling's crew lie slumped on the meal table while catching their breath, like limp, floppy fish devoid of any dreams or energy.

CHILI FISHHEAD : Dammit... And I thought that guy was a bookworm... Where did he get all his energy from? He made us run 50 kilometers and do 751 sets of rowing exercises in these last few days alone...

CURED MEAT PLATTER : I'm going to write his name in my special book of curses and blacklist him everywhere I see...

The Dragon Boat Festival is nothing short of awe-inspiring! From the colorful boats to the thunderous drumbeats, there's always something to marvel at!

Last July 22, we celebrated this spectacular and thrilling event at the stunning Stanley Beach in Hongkong. This festival has been affected by the city's harsh measures from the prevention of Corona virus - social restrictions, events being postponed or banned and people staying home during those dark times. But last Thursday, the atmosphere was electric, and it was great to see everyone come together for some healthy competition and loads of fun.

Chinese Dragon Boat Festival Greeting from Refine Medical

#ChineseDragonBoatFestival is also #DuanWuJie or #DoubleFiveFestival in China.  The festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It was derived from the activities of commemorating a great patriot poet, #QuYuan, who served in the court of #EmperorHuai during the #WarringStates (475-221BC). The most delicious #TraditionalFood for the #DragonBoatFestival is #ZongZi, a glutinous rice ball, with a filling, wrap ped in corn leaves. The fillings can be meat, peanut, dates, mushrooms, or a combination of them. #DragonBoatRaces are the most exciting part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators. #DragonBoats are generally brightly painted and decorated canoes. Ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length. Accordingly, a team of 20-80 rowers can power the boat. A drummer and flag-cather stand at the front of the boat. Competing #DragonBoatTeams drive their boat forward to the rhythm of beating drums.

Found the reason this exists! The Newcastle Island Passage is home to a Dragonboat festival and a local group of breast-cancer survivors are regular winners. This is their celebratory “totem” in the middle of the channel.
