Turn a Dragon Boat Festival Poster into a Seasonal Plant Theme
A Dragon Boat Festival handwritten newspaper does not have to focus only on rice dumplings and dragon boats. Pomegranate blossoms, mugwort, and calamus can make the theme fresher and more traditional. The red pomegranate flower works well near the title, while the long green leaves of mugwort and calamus are suitable for borders or side decorations.
Three Content Ideas to Include
Pomegranate Blossoms: A Bright Sign of Early Summer
Pomegranate flowers often bloom around the fifth lunar month. Their vivid red color can show the warmth of summer and the joyful feeling of the festival. Students may write that pomegranate blossoms make the Dragon Boat Festival page look lively and seasonal.
Mugwort and Calamus: Fragrant Plants by the Door
In Dragon Boat Festival customs, people often hang mugwort and calamus near doors. Their fresh scent is connected with wishes for health, safety, and a peaceful home. For a school poster, simple words such as “green,” “fragrant,” and “a festival memory at the doorway” are easy to understand.

Color and Drawing Tips
Use pomegranate red, mugwort green, and light beige as the main colors. Draw pomegranate flowers with simple petals and a yellow center. Mugwort leaves can be thin and slightly jagged, while calamus leaves can be shown with long smooth lines. Leave enough blank space for writing so the poster stays clear.
