每年的农历五月初五是端午节
这个历史悠久的中国传统节日
具有多姿多彩的节日习俗
今年的端午假期，六悦博物馆
为六悦会员准备了丰富的端午活动
The 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar each year is the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival with a long history, as well as colorful customs and traditions. The Six Arts Museum prepared a variety of fun and interesting cultural activities for its members to enjoy during this year's Dragon Boat Festival holiday.

In the Yangtze River Delta area, during the Dragon Boat Festival people particularly enjoy eating savory meat zongzi dumplings. Six Arts DIY Handicrafts instructor Yanzi prepared the ingredients for meat zongzi dumplings and patiently guided everyone in making them during the holiday. With the help of their parents, the participating children demonstrated exceptional dumpling making skills.
端午节还有一个专属于孩子们的习俗
以雄黄在小儿额头画“王”字
一借雄黄以驱毒，二借猛虎以镇邪
孩子们排着队由燕子老师画额
The Dragon Boat Festival also has a custom exclusively for children. It involves drawing the Chinese character '王' (meaning 'king') on their foreheads using realgar powder. This is done to ward off evil spirits with the power of realgar and to protect them from harmful influences with the image of a fierce tiger. Under the guidance of Teacher Yanzi, the children lined up to have the character drawn on their foreheads one by one.
除了食粽，画额
扒龙舟也是端午节的重要习俗之一
孩子们分成两队，身着龙舟道具服
一声令下，赛起“龙舟”，争夺冠军
In addition to eating zongzi dumplings and getting face paintings, dragon boat racing is also an important custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. At Six Arts, the participating children were divided into two teams. Wearing dragon boat props, they started the dragon boat race and competed for the championship.

After the dragon boat race, everyone enthusiastically started the next activity, which involved making sachets and door hangings using the materials obtained from the race. Artemisia (wormwood) reportedly has the effect of warding off evil spirits and repelling mosquitoes and insects. Making sachets and door hangings with Artemisia (wormwood) is both aesthetically pleasing and practical.
