The Dragon Boat Festival, originated in China, is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanyang Festival, May Festival and so on. It is a traditional festival for people to commemorate Qu Yuan. The Dragon Boat Festival has a history of more than two thousand years in China. There are eating zongzi, dragon boat racing, hanging calamus, wormwood, mugwort leaves, drinking realgar wine and other customs. The Dragon Boat Festival is one of China's official holidays and is listed on the World intangible Cultural Heritage List.
The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival was Quyuan, a poet and politician of the state of Chu in the Warring States period. In his early years, he was trusted by King Huai of Chu. But later, he was exiled to the north of Han and the Yuan Xiang River basin because of the exclusion of aristocrats. During his exile, Quyuan felt depressed and began to write literature. His works were filled with nostalgia for the Chu style and enthusiasm for serving the people and the country. Later he was called back.
In the thirtieth year of King Huai, King Huai of Chu refused to listen to Qu Yuan's dissuasion and insisted on entering Qin. He was detained and later died in Qin. After King Qingxiang of Chu ascended the throne, he was ignorant. Hearing yinzilan's slander, he expelled Quyuan again. Quyuan lived in the area of Yuanshui and Xiangshui in Hunan today.
In the 21st year of King Xiang (278 BC), Bai Qi, a general of the state of Qin, sent his troops south and captured The capital of Ying Du. Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River in despair and anger.
It is said that after the death of Qu Yuan, the people of chu rushed to the miluo River to pay their respects. Fishermen in the river to salvage his real body, a fisherman took out for Qu Yuan rice balls, eggs and other food, "plop, plop" to throw into the river, said to let the fish lobster crab eat full, will not bite the doctor's body. People saw it and imitated it. Later for fear of rice balls for jiaolong food, people came up with neem leaves wrapped in rice, outside the color silk, developed into palm. Later, on the fifth day of may every year, there are dragon boat races, eating zongzi custom, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
