As this year's Dragon Boat Festival - also known as Duanwu Festival - approaches, the cultural show "Adventures on Dragon Boat Festival 2023" will be broadcast live at 7:30 pm tonight.

This year the program centers on the theme of "cultural exploration", and returns to explore the origins of the festival. It revolves around the two major theories of "celestial worship" and "patriotic sentiments" as the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival, seeking the resonance of ethnic emotions in the inheritance of festive folk customs.

The entire show embarks on a journey to shed a light on the cultural origins of the patriotic spirit, with "heroism" as its core. Additionally, it presents Eastern aesthetics, aiming to explore innovative expressions of traditional culture in a more open-minded, artistic and creative manner.
