The Chinese festival "Dragon Boat Festival"


Portrait of Qu Yuan by Jiang Zhaohe on artnet
Qu Yuan

The Dragon Boat Festival is about the death of the minister and poet Qu Yuan who was exiled because he was found to have plotted against the alliance. During his exile he wrote a bunch of poetry. 28 years later the state of Qin captured Qu Yuan and in despair Qu Yuan committed suicide. The townspeople who still respected him tried to rescue him. The townspeople could not find the body and in despair fed the fish rice balls so his body wouldn't be eaten by the fish. To this day we honor him by doing dragon boat festivals and throw raw rice dumplings in the river. Because this is a festival day i will show you pictures. Thank wikipedia for this information.

INVEST IN STOCKS TO GAIN OR LOSE MONEY!!!!!!!!

Why is it Elon musk is so rich? Because he invested in stocks and that is why he is so rich. This is why you should invest in stocks and become extremely rich. Bitcoin for example you would need 1000 bitcoins for a pizza but now with just one bitcoin you can buy more than 10,000 pizzas. When you buy stocks you have to predict what will grow big and what will go down so you can gain the most money you can. Also when you buy stocks you have two choices, one is market price which you'll buy the stock at any price the seller chose or theirs limit which you will only buy the stock at the price you set it at. Stocks can also go up from memes such as Gamestop and Nokia.

The Criticizing of "The Wind and The Sun" #1

The real story behind this is actually a natural cause of the wind ending and the sun getting hotter. So the creator of the story made it into a stupid story. The moral does not make any sense at all because the moral was to be gentle and warm and you can get what you want. That doesn't make any sense at all to me, because in the story, they didn't do anything nice or mean; the wind just kept blowing cold wind and the sun just shined it's brightness. That story does not show any sign of that. It also doesn't make any sense that if the wind blew its hardest why wouldn't that send the man flying? Also, if the sun used its warmest winds, wouldn't that burn him to death? And how can a cloud and a sun talk to each other when they are so far from each other. So ya, it is really weird.
