The fragrant aroma of zongzi leaves mingles with the festive spirit, as warm affection accompanies and honors paternal love. In 2026, the Dragon Boat Festival holiday coincides with Father’s Day, and our museum is proudly presenting a three-day hands-on experience titled “Elegant Elegance of the Duanwu Festival: Capturing Fatherly Love.” Through intangible cultural heritage rubbings, traditional Chinese‑style crafts, and parent–child diamond‑dotting activities, this program weaves together time-honored folk customs and the values of gratitude and filial piety, creating for visitors a celebratory atmosphere that blends cultural depth with heartfelt familial warmth.

A Double Festival Brings Rich Elegance

Carry the Dragon Boat Festival culture with you

On June 19, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the first-ever canvas‑bag rubbings workshop kicked off as scheduled. The event featured a wide array of festival‑themed rubbing stencils; visitors could choose from pre‑designed patterns or mix and match their own designs to create one‑of‑a‑kind cultural‑creative canvas bags. Once the rubbings were complete, participants stamped their pieces with the memorial hall’s exclusive commemorative seal, transforming plain canvases into distinctive handmade keepsakes that capture the essence of Linchuan’s Dragon Boat Festival. Many parents brought their children along, turning this rich traditional culture into tangible, everyday treasures that everyone can take home.

A fresh, whimsical take on traditional Chinese style

On June 20, the traditional‑style dragon‑boat and wind‑mill DIY activity resumed online. Colorful dragon‑boat‑themed components were neatly arranged, inviting visitors of all ages to immerse themselves in assembling dragon‑patterned windmills—snapping parts together, securing them, and fine‑tuning the blades, each step brimming with childlike charm. Once completed, participants gathered in the garden’s open space inside the venue, spinning their vibrant dragon‑boat windmills against the breeze and capturing the lively spirit of the Dragon Boat Festival. As one of the festival’s central cultural symbols, the tiny windmill condenses the tradition of dragon‑boat racing into a delightful hands‑on experience: children run and play while the windmills turn in the wind, blending time‑honored festive culture with modern leisurely fun, allowing visitors to savor the unique essence of dragon‑related traditions through active participation.

Shining love, at ease in the heart.

On June 21, a Father’s Day–themed special event brought this occasion to a heartwarming close. The diamond‑frame photo‑making experience was specially designed for families, offering a variety of touching motifs on site, such as “Lighthouse‑like Paternal Love” and “Parent‑Child Companionship.” Children and parents worked together to affix rhinestones and assemble the frames, their delicate, sparkling surfaces weaving together the gentle, everyday moments of shared warmth. Each handcrafted frame was carefully tucked away by visitors, becoming a thoughtful holiday gift for dads—expressing gratitude through handmade art and upholding the cherished family tradition of filial piety and respect for elders.

The three-day event unfolded in an orderly manner, fully leveraging our museum’s public cultural service functions. Through light‑weight, immersive hands‑on activities, we brought the intangible cultural heritage and folk traditions of the Dragon Boat Festival to life while delving into the heartfelt essence of Father’s Day. Many visitors remarked that this dual‑holiday program seamlessly blended the cultural charm of the “hometown of talented scholars” with warm family moments, making it a rare and delightful destination for parent–child cultural engagement. Moving forward, our museum will continue to build on festive occasions, offering more educational and experiential programs that combine fun with cultural depth, further exploring folk‑cultural resources to allow traditional culture to enrich everyday life.
