Tonight, we step quietly to the broad waters of Qujiang Pool in the southeastern gardens of Chang'an, three days before the Dragon Boat Festival, Duanwu, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, nearly 1,300 years ago, at the height of the Tang Dynasty.

In this quiet sleep story, the Dragon Boat keeper unties the dragon boat before dawn, rows through mist among the closed lotus leaves, listens to the first birds begin to wake, and watches the pale light slowly reach the Chang'an city walls.

Settle in, relax, and drift gently into sleep.
