Celebrating Tradition, Connecting Futures: GL FIBER Wishes You a Meaningful Dragon Boat Festival

Dear Valued Partners and Friends,

As the early summer breeze carries the fragrance of reed leaves, we approach one of China’s most cherished traditions—the Dragon Boat Festival (端午节, Duānwǔ Jié). Celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month (May 31–June 2, 2025), this festival weaves together history, community, and cultural pride. At GL FIBER, we honor these timeless values while celebrating the connections that bind us all.

The Heart of the Festival: Culture and Meaning

Originating over 2,000 years ago, the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan (c. 340–278 BC), a revered poet and patriot who symbolizes loyalty and integrity. Legend tells of his despair at his kingdom’s fall, leading people to race dragon boats and scatter rice (now zongzi 粽子) to protect his spirit in the river135.

Beyond remembrance, the festival embodies resilience and unity. Families hang artemisia (艾草, ài cǎo) to ward off illness, tie five-color silk threads for protection, and share sticky-rice dumplings (zongzi)—a gesture of warmth and care17. Unlike typical festive greetings, we say “端午安康” (Duānwǔ ānkāng)—a wish for peace and wellness—reflecting the day’s spirit of safeguarding health and harmony35.
