Wrapping Zongzi, inserting wormwood leaves, making sachets, weaving colorful hand ropes... On June 21, a Dragon Boat Festival Carnival was staged in Gumei Park, Minhang District, bringing "immersive" folk culture experience to surrounding residents.
On the stage in the park, an excellent cultural and sports team from Gumei Road Street danced with their passion. Among them, four distinctive cultural and artistic teams from Minhang District brought wonderful performances, including "Jasmine Fragrance" by the Spicy Girl Dance Team, "Happiness Never Forget the Communist Party" by the Gumei Chorus, "Reed Spark" excerpts by the Gumei Shanghai Opera Team, and "Jiangnan Rhyme" by the Gumei Haina Fashion Team. In addition, the "Butterfly Love" by the characteristic sports team of Minhang District, Gu Mei Yangge Team, is in line with the romantic butterfly culture of Gu Mei Park. It dances gracefully on stage like a pair of colorful butterflies, while "Don't Forget Your Original Aspiration" is passionate and encourages everyone to work together, not afraid of wind and rain, and forge ahead.

Jazz is a characteristic regional culture of ancient beauty. The street has also established and trained the Gumei Overseas Chinese Association jazz band Qiaozhijia for this purpose. They take it as their responsibility to spread the joy of music and convey the positive energy of sincere wishes, and have left a brilliant figure at the Shanghai World and Gumei Jazz Music Festival. Today at the scene, a piece of music called "Me and My Motherland" is melodious, telling the story that "the motherland is a harbor for the hearts of millions of Chinese ancestors and grandchildren.".
Among the cultural and sports teams performing, there are also ethnic minority teams from the Mongolian and Korean ethnic groups. Their performances of "Walking Horse" and "Unforgettable Day" showcase the brave, resilient, simple, and honest national character of ethnic minorities, as well as the leisurely national charm of China

Not far from the stage, pointing towards the kayak water base, a "Dragon Boat Festival Gathering" is also in full swing. In front of a stall, several old masters were teaching the citizens how to make Zongzi. Soon, everyone worked together to make dozens of jujube and red bean zongzi, some long zongzi, some triangular zongzi. On the other hand, stalls for needlework fabric painting, sachet making, and colorful hand rope weaving were also crowded with experienced people of all ages.
As a inheritor of district level intangible cultural heritage, 70 year old Aunt Wang Longzhu's female red cloth art paintings, such as bags, clothes, fans, and tissue boxes, occasionally attract passing teenagers to exclaim "so beautiful". Aunt Wang said that she usually teaches at community schools and currently has three classes. The students include not only the elderly, but also many teenagers. The love for traditional culture among everyone makes her feel very pleased.

This event is not only a festive cultural feast, but also a community art education class. On that day, at the branch venue of the Party and Mass Service Center in Gumei Road Street Community, the street also launched two projects: "Tasting the Dragon Boat Festival - Painting Life" oil painting experience and "Tasting Fragrance - Discussing the Way - Eliminating Epidemic and Plague" traditional incense seal production, adding "color" and "fragrance" to the Dragon Boat Festival and opening up new paths for community residents to decorate, enjoy, and taste life.
