Who is the Dragon Boat Festival commemorated (the Dragon Boat Festival was set up to commemorate Qu Yuan)

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Several colleagues from Zhuanjun wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival in the group early in the morning. Suddenly, such a message caught the attention of Zhuanjun, and a colleague said in the group:

Seeing such news, the rumormonger was shocked! If only 0202, but these rumors about the Dragon Boat Festival are still spreading under the banner of "popular science". Don't believe these rumors about Dragon Boat Festival after reading this article!

The Dragon Boat Festival was set up in memory of Qu Yuan? Not really!

Authoritative interpretation: the origin of Dragon Boat Festival is much earlier than Qu Yuan. The patriotic poet Qu Yuan just threw himself into the Miluo River on the Dragon Boat Festival.

According to historical records, the Dragon Boat Festival was originally held for the tribes who worshipped the dragon totem in Baiyue area (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south area) in ancient times. Before Baiyue Spring and Autumn Period, there was a custom of holding tribal totems in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Qu Yuan was born in the Warring States Period. Simply put, the Dragon Boat Festival existed before Qu Yuan, and the academic circles have completely abandoned the view that the Dragon Boat Festival originated in memory of Qu Yuan. So don't say that the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan in the future. Not right!

It was not set up to commemorate Qu Yuan, so what is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival? Dragon Boat Festival began in Baiyue area in ancient times, that is, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the southern region today. Some tribes who worship dragon totems hold totem sacrifices. Before the Spring and Autumn Period, this area had the custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

It is obvious that the Dragon Boat Festival has nothing to do with Qu Yuan. Why did the teacher say that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan for so many years, including in class? Qu Yuan is a famous patriotic poet in China. How much do you remember about Qu Yuan's Li Sao?

Coincidentally, Qu Yuan died in Miluo on May 5th. Later, in order to set an example of loyalty to the monarch and love for the people, the rulers took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, which has continued to this day, so there is nothing wrong with commemorating Qu Yuan on the Dragon Boat Festival today.

Dragon Boat Festival can only be said to be healthy? But you can't celebrate? Sure!

Authoritative interpretation: Dragon Boat Festival is essentially a festival to ward off evil spirits, such as eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, hanging or burning mugwort leaves, etc. In the eyes of the ancients, these are directly related to evil spirits.

We should know that the other side of exorcism is prayer, so it is natural to celebrate. In the ancient Dragon Boat Festival, the lively dragon boat show and the joyful food feast were the direct manifestations of celebration.

Secondly, in modern times, the ritual and sacrificial elements of the Dragon Boat Festival gradually became lighter, while the competitive and entertaining elements became heavier and heavier.

As for the healthy or happy Dragon Boat Festival, it really depends on you. Nobody cares that much.
