Residents push a boat loaded with sacrifices into the sea during a ceremony for the Greater Heat, or "Dashu" (the 12th of the 24 solar terms according to the Chinese lunar calendar), in Taizhou, east China's Zhejiang province, July 23, 2009. As a tradition, fishermen along the eastern Chinese coast strike gongs and explode firecrackers during the patrol of the boat through villages and then burn the boat after it sails away from the fishing harbor. People also pray for peace and health during “Dashu” celebrations. [CFP]
