The Tide Still Resounds

By 朱燕萍 · CN

On the Dragon Boat Festival, an elder narrates to children the origins of the festival’s time-honored customs. In 484 BCE, King Fu Chai of the State of Wu heeded the slanderous accusations of Grand Steward Bo Pi, and commanded the loyal minister Wu Zixu to end his life with the sword *Shulou*. Upon his death, Wu Zixu’s body was sealed in a leather sack and cast into the mighty river. To honor this loyal statesman — who served his sovereign with unwavering devotion, brought peace and prosperity to the people, built the grand Helü City, and excavated the Xu River — the people of Wu held public memorial rites outside the Xu Gate every Dragon Boat Festival to greet the God of the Tides. For over two thousand years, this tradition has endured year after year, never once broken.
