Qu Yuan, whose name is Ping and whose courtesy name is Yuan. Han nationality, born in the nobility of Chu State during the Warring States Period, served as Sanlu official and Zuotu, and was also in charge of domestic and foreign affairs. He advocated promoting talents internally, amending laws and regulations, and urging Qi to resist Qin externally. Later, he was exiled to the Yuan and Xiang River basins because he was excluded by the nobles. In 278 BC, Qin general Bai Qi captured Yingdu, the capital of Chu state, in one fell swoop. Qu Yuan, who was worried about his country and his people, committed suicide by holding a stone in his arms in the Miluo River near Changsha. The Dragon Boat Festival is said to be the anniversary of his death. He wrote many immortal poems and became the founder of ancient romantic poetry in my country. He created a new poetry genre, Chu Ci, based on Chu folk songs. His major works include "Li Sao", "Nine Chapters", "Nine Songs", "Tianwen", etc. In the poem, he expressed his fervent patriotism thoughts and feelings, expressed his love for Chu country, and reflected his unremitting pursuit of ideals and his spirit of never regretting it. The "Chu Ci" style he created is unique in the history of Chinese literature, and is known as the "Fengcao" style together with "The Book of Songs", which had a positive impact on the poetry creation of later generations.

The Dragon Boat Festival originated from commemorating Qu Yuan

According to "Historical Records" "Qu Yuan Jia "Biography of Life" records that Qu Yuan was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated the promotion of talents and empowerment, enriched the country and strengthened the military, and advocated uniting Qi to resist Qin. However, he was strongly opposed by the nobleman Zilan and others. Qu Yuan was dismissed from his post, expelled from the capital, and exiled to the Yuan and Xiang rivers. In exile, he wrote immortal poems such as "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions" and "Nine Songs", which were concerned about the country and the people. They were unique in style and had far-reaching influence (therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Poet's Day). In 278 BC, the Qin army captured Kyoto, the state of Chu. Seeing his motherland being invaded, Qu Yuan was heartbroken, but he still could not bear to abandon his motherland. On May 5, after writing his final work "Huaisha", he bouldered into the Miluo River and died, risking his own life. Composed a magnificent patriotic movement.

Legend has it that after Qu Yuan died, the people of Chu State were extremely sad and flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. The fishermen rowed their boats and fished for his true body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out rice balls, eggs and other food prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river "plop, plop", saying that when the fish, lobsters and crabs were full, they would not bite Dr. Qu's body. People followed suit after seeing it. An old doctor took a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying it was to stun dragons and water animals so as not to harm Doctor Qu. Later, for fear that the rice balls would be eaten by dragons, people came up with the idea of ??wrapping the rice with neem leaves and wrapping it with colored silk, which developed into rice dumplings.

Since then, on the fifth day of May every year, there has been the custom of dragon boat racing, eating rice dumplings, and drinking realgar wine to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
