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.

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.

Fun fact when you say fun fact they will read through all of it. Also when I get bored I like to eat yogurt and think about how to annoy my family so I can ruin their experience of quarantine. when I get hungry I like to think of myself eating fast food and get sad. I also miss friends but the main consequence is not getting to eat fast food.                          What I think about when I imagine myself eating fast food---v
