Chinese Stories

"Structured into four sections - Festival Story, Mini-Play, Fun Crafts, and Bilingual Vocabulary - this book presents the poignant tale of Qu Yuan, ancient China's patriotic poet. It chronicles his journey from official service to exile, culminating in his sacrificial drowning in the Miluo River, revealing how the Dragon Boat Festival originated to honor his memory. The joyful mini-play section features modern children as protagonists, using relatable stories to showcase traditions like dragon boat racing, eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), and hanging mugwort and calamus. Festively-themed craft tutorials engage hands and minds while immersing children in the holiday spirit. These four integrated sections work in harmony to help young readers holistically understand the Dragon Boat Festival and appreciate the enduring charm of Chinese cultural heritage.
