Question
Korean adaptations of this festival, such as a shamanistic mountain ritual in the city of Gangneung (“GAHNG-nung”), traditionally featured tournaments of ssireum (“SHEE-rum”) wrestling. In Taiwan, eggs are traditionally balanced at noon during this festival for good luck. To drive away evil or disease, celebrants of this festival wear five-colored silk ribbons, carry perfumed pouches, and hang mugwort and calamus. Zòngzi (“DZONG-dzih”) are traditionally eaten during this festival to recall the rice dumplings used to prevent fish from eating the drowned body of a poet. This festival commemorates that poet, Qū Yuán (“chew yew-EN”), with namesake objects invented on Dòngtíng Lake to venerate sea gods like Áo Guāng. For 10 points, identify this mid-year Chinese festival, which is named in English for its races in mythologically-shaped canoes. ■END■
