The Dragon Boat Festival: Honoring Tradition and Harmony with Nature

As the fifth day of the fifth lunar month arrives, we join millions in celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Jie) — a vibrant cultural tradition dating back over 2,000 years.

At CENTURY STAR, we believe that culture and craftsmanship are inseparable. Just as natural stone is shaped by time and the elements, so too is heritage formed by the values we pass on.

🌀 Why This Festival Matters
Originally a tribute to the poet Qu Yuan, who gave his life for integrity, this day also represents the rhythms of nature — midsummer energy, protection rituals, and community bonding.

🥁 Key Traditions Include:
• Dragon boat races: Unity, teamwork, and the spirit of water
• Eating Zongzi (rice dumplings): A gesture of remembrance and prosperity
• Wearing five-color threads & hanging herbs: To ward off evil and stay healthy
• Realgar wine: An old tradition of cleansing and protection

🌍 What Does This Mean for CENTURY STAR?
Like Qu Yuan’s legacy, stone tells stories that last. We carve history, shape futures, and connect the strength of natural material with cultural expression.

Whether it’s building a villa, paving a cultural square, or designing a memorial — our stones carry meaning, just like this timeless festival.

💬 This Dragon Boat Festival, let us all reflect on what we build:
Not just with our hands, but with our hearts.
