The Dragon Boat Festival approaches in mid-summer, as days grow long under clear skies. As one of the four major traditional festivals of the Chinese nation, the Dragon Boat Festival carries profound cultural connotations and national spirit. On this festive occasion, PUSO Life Technology takes it as its mission to promote traditional culture and has carefully planned a cultural feast for the Dragon Boat Festival. The company invites all colleagues to experience the charm of culture and appreciate traditional wisdom amidst their busy work schedules.
Self-service catering
At the beginning of the event, the entrance was carefully prepared with a variety of refreshments and Dragon Boat Festival specialities – zongzi (sticky rice dumplings). During the Dragon Boat Festival, dampness gradually increases. Glutinous rice is effective in tonifying and nourishing spleen-stomach deficiency cold, shortness of breath, and fatigue; while lotus leaves used to wrap zongzi have always been excellent for clearing heat. The combination of the two is truly a health-preserving choice that follows the rhythm of nature. As everyone freely helps themselves to the food, it is not only a delight for the taste buds but also a personal realization of the concept of “harmony between man and nature”, experiencing the harmonious unity of nature and life through diet.
After savoring the delicious food and gaining a preliminary understanding of traditional food culture, an even more exciting session is about to begin. Next, let’s step into the world of fun games together and explore traditional wisdom amid joy.
Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi Pitch
This game originates from the ancient “Touhu” (pot-throwing), which evolved from archery rituals and combines ancient etiquette with entertainment. It not only tests hand-eye coordination but also allows us to revisit the ancient wisdom of “practicing rituals in daily life.” From concentrating to aim to throwing with effort, every careful move is a tribute to traditional etiquette culture, enabling us to experience the ancients’ pursuit of ritualism through fun.
Chicken Herding into the Coop
In the game, participants are required to use cattail fans to herd balloon chickens through a door frame. They must master the rhythm, seek balance in dynamic guidance, and understand the concept of “stillness within movement” while gauging the proper measure and strength.
Chuiwan
As an elegant ancient sport in China, Chuiwan embodies profound cultural heritage. Participants hold a club, focus on swinging, and strive to get the ball into the hole. Through the game of Chuiwan, we let go of distractions and stay present, as if undergoing a cultivation of the mind and spirit.
DIY Mugwort Products
In traditional culture, mugwort is regarded as a plant that wards off evil and prevents plagues, carrying people’s beautiful wishes for health and safety. When everyone personally selects mugwort and crafts handicrafts with their own hands, it reflects a profound cherishing and gratitude for nature’s gifts. Each mugwort creation embodies the philosophy of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature, infused with rich “mugwort” meaning—a homophonic pun for “love” in Chinese. These works not only add a touch of natural charm to life but also hold sincere blessings for the well-being of family and oneself.
Gift Distribution
As the event drew to a close, we prepared generous gifts for everyone. Colleagues who participated in the games could win surprise prizes such as fresh watermelons, practical small home appliances, and exquisite Dragon Boat Festival gift boxes. In addition, each employee received a Dragon Boat Festival souvenir. Although the gifts are modest, they are filled with the company’s care for employees and symbolize the inheritance and continuation of traditional culture.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a time for cultural inheritance and emotional cohesion. PUSO Life Technology’s Dragon Boat Festival cultural gala, with every detail of traditional cultural activities, serves as both a tribute to the cultural heritage and a nourishment for employees’ spiritual realms. We hope that all colleagues will experience the profoundness and vastness of traditional culture, gain insight into the profound wisdom of the ancients, and share a fulfilling and meaningful Dragon Boat Festival together!
