3. Poem chanting
In ancient times the government of Zhaoxian county, North China's Hebei province held a gathering at the southern gate during the Dragon Boat Festival. Scholars were invited to a banquet where they could drink and write poems.
The activity was called "Ta Liu" or "Stepping the willow" and later developed into poem chanting.
