The origin of Dragon Boat Festival is inseparable from Quyuan's throwing himself into the river. It is precisely because of this that the Dragon Boat Festival is associated with words such as commemoration and sadness. According to historical records, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Wu Zixu voted for Qiantang River, Cao E saved his father and voted for Cao E, and the great writer Qu Yuan voted for Miluo River. In the eyes of many people, the Dragon Boat Festival is an anniversary, and it is not appropriate to celebrate it too much. It is inappropriate to say "happy" to each other.

Many friends used to send messages wishing each other "Happy Dragon Boat Festival". In this regard, non-legacy experts said that not all festivals can wish each other happiness. For example, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Dragon Boat Festival can only send "Ankang" to each other.
