Program:creating Dragon Boats
Tsung-Tse is a symbol for the Dragon Boat Festival in China. It is originally the name of a food served during the festival made from rice dumplings wrapped in bamboo leaves. Its attractive shape is later used for decorative purposes by women and children who make colorful silk windings on three-dimensional paper folding. Dragon Boats were fashionable in the ancient courts as elaborate wrappings for important gifts. We will be creating these Dragon Boats with modern materials and embellishments! Join Us!
