Umthendeleko weDragon Boat omnandi!

Njengoko uMeyi uphela, abantu kulo lonke elaseTshayina nakwezinye iindawo zaseAsia balungiselela ukubhiyozela omnye wemibhiyozo yemveli yakudala nenomdla - iDragon Boat Festival, eyaziwa ngokuba yiDuanwu Festival. Ngowama-2025, iDragon Boat Festival ibanjwa ngomhla wama-31 kuMeyi, iphawula ixesha leendibano zosapho, izikhumbuzo zenkcubeko, kunye nokutya okumnandi.

Imvelaphi yeDragon Boat Festival inokulandelwa emva kweminyaka engaphezu kwama-2,000. Intsomi eyaziwayo kakhulu ngale holide yibali likaQu Yuan, imbongi ethanda ilizwe kunye nomfundisi wexesha leMfazwe yaMazwe. UQu Yuan, owaziwa ngokuthembeka kwakhe kwilizwe lakhe kunye nemibongo yakhe echukumisayo, wazintywilisela kuMlambo iMiluo emva kokubona ukuwohloka kwelizwe lakhe alithandayo. Bemkhumbula, abantu baphosa amadombolo erayisi emlanjeni ukuze bathintele iintlanzi ekutyeni umzimba wakhe baza bahamba ngeenqanawa bemfuna. Ezi zenzo ekugqibeleni zaguqukela kwizithethe zokutya i-zongzi kunye nokubamba imidyarho yeenqanawa zedragoni.

Enye yezona zinto zidumileyo zokutya ezinxulunyaniswa nomnyhadala yi-zongzi — iidumplings zerayisi ezinamathelayo ezisongelwe ngamagqabi e-bamboo okanye eengcongolo, ezidla ngokuzaliswa yintlama ebomvu yeembotyi, iidate, iingqayi zamaqanda ezinetyuwa, okanye inyama. Iintsapho ziyadibana kwiintsuku ezingaphambi komnyhadala ukuze zilungiselele i-zongzi, zabelane ngamabali kwaye zigcine amasiko okupheka adluliselwe kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.

Enye into ebalulekileyo kulo mnyhadala ngumdyarho weenqanawa zedrako, umdlalo onomdla nobukekayo. Iinqanawa ezinde, ezimxinwa ezihonjiswe njengeedragoni ziqhutywa ngamaqela ababheqi, zihlala zihamba neengoma ezinesingqi. Iimbaleki azimnandi nje kuphela ukuzibukela kodwa zikwasebenza njengophawu lokusebenza ngokubambisana, inkalipho, kunye nokuzingca ngenkcubeko.

Kule mihla, uMnyhadala weeNqanawa zeDragon uzuze udumo olukhulayo kwihlabathi liphela. I-UNESCO yade yawubhala njengeLifa leNkcubeko yoLuntu elingabonakaliyo ngo-2009, igxininisa ukubaluleka kwawo kwinkcubeko. Namhlanje, lo mnyhadala ubhiyozelwa kumazwe amaninzi kwihlabathi liphela, kunye nemidyarho yeenqanawa zedragoni ebanjwa kwizixeko ezifana neSingapore, iVancouver, kunye neSydney.

Njengoko sibhiyozela uMnyhadala weeNqanawa zeDragon ngo-2025, masikhumbule ixabiso lokuthembeka, uthando ngelizwe lakowethu, kunye nokubaluleka kosapho kunye nesithethe. Nokuba uyonwabela i-zongzi nabantu obathandayo okanye ubukele umdyarho weenqanawa zedragoni, ngamana lo mnyhadala ungakuzisela ulonwabo, impilo, kunye nemvisiswano.
