Tomorrow is Duan Wu Jie (Rice Dumpling or Dragon Boat Festival). It's one of the earliest Chinese Festival which date back nearly 2500 years ago. Besides the Dragon boat race and eating rice dumplings, there are other Toaist activities like drinking Chinese herb Xiong Huang wine, hanging painting or pictures of Zhong Kui on one's front door and the creating of amulets or medicine bags to ward off evil spirit and disease.
The most interesting thing to do on this day:
Make an attempt to stand an egg on its end, at noontime on the day of Duan Wu Jie. If you succeed, it means good luck for the following year.
