New Vocabulary, Dragon boat festival

Last night I re-watched Beauty and the Beast. In general it was easy to follow but I lost a lot of the specifics. Here a couple of words I picked up:

野兽 - yě shòu - Beast
攻击 - gōng jī - Attack!

This one is from my planets book:

太阳系 - tài yáng xì - solar system

And these ones are in because of the upcoming dragon boat festival tomorrow (courtesy of about.com):

Dragon Boat Festival: duān wǔ jié - 端午节
Dragon Boat: long zhōu - 龙舟
Rice Dumplings: zòng zǐ - 粽子
Qu Yuan: qū yuán - 屈原
Zhou Dynasty: chǔ guó - 楚国
Xiong Huang: xióng huáng jiǔ - 雄黄酒

I think some 粽子 are in order for dinner tomorrow!
