Dragon Boat Festival related content: Legend of Dragon Boat Festival During the Warring States Period, Chu and Qin fought for hegemony, and the poet Qu Yuan was listed as the right doctor, which was highly valued by the king of Chu. Later, Qu Yuan's ideas were opposed by the old school headed by the above officials, doctors and Shanxi merchants. They constantly vilified Qu Yuan in front of Chu Huaiwang, and Chu Huaiwang gradually alienated Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan, who has lofty aspirations, is deeply saddened. With uncontrollable sadness and indignation, he wrote immortal poems such as Li Sao and Tianxiang.

In 229 years before Wu Gong, Qin captured eight cities in Chu, and then sent envoys to invite Chu Huaiwang to make peace with Qin. Qu yuan saw through the plot of the king of Qin and risked his life to enter the palace to state his interests. Chu Huaiwang did not listen, but expelled Qu Yuan from the capital. Chu Huaiwang attended the meeting as scheduled and was imprisoned as soon as he arrived in Qin. Chu Huaiwang was filled with remorse and died in the state of Qin three years later. Shortly after King Xiang of Chu ascended the throne, the King of Qin sent troops to attack Chu. Xiang Wang withdrew hastily and captured the capital. On the way to exile, Qu Yuan heard the bad news of his sudden death and the attack on Ying, and he lost all hope. He sighed and jumped into the surging Guluo River. The fishermen on the river and the people on the shore heard that Dr. Qu Yuan had jumped into the river, and they all came to the river to salvage Qu Yuan's body, and at the same time brought zongzi and eggs into the river. Some practitioners also pour realgar wine into the river, so that the medicine can calm the dragon and the water beast and prevent Dr. Qu Yuan from being hurt.

From then on, every year on the martyrdom day when Quyuan threw himself into the river in early May, the people of Chu went to the river to row dragon boats and throw zongzi in memory of this great patriotic poet, and the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival was thus handed down.

Dragon Boat Festival, also called Dragon Boat Festival, is one of the biggest traditional festivals in China. "Duan" means the same as "Chu", and calling "Duan Wu" is just like calling "the fifth day"; The word "five" in the Dragon Boat Festival is also connected with "noon". According to the order of earthly branches, May is "noon" month. Because noon is the "sun", the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duanyang". On May 5th, both the month and the day are five, so calling five is also called noon. In addition, there are many nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: Summer Festival, Magnolia Festival, Daughter's Day, Tianzhong Festival, Dila Festival, Poet's Day and so on. Many nicknames of the Dragon Boat Festival indirectly explain the differences in the origin of the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. That's what happened. There are at least four or five theories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: in memory of Qu Yuan; Wuyue's national totem sacrifice theory: From the three generations of summer solstice festival; Evil month and evil day drive away, and so on.

So far, the most influential view on the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan. In the field of folk culture, China people associate dragon boat racing and eating zongzi with Qu Yuan. It is said that after Qu Yuan jumped into the river, the local people injured him and died, so they set sail to save him because of the custom of horse racing. He also said that people often put food into the water to offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan, but most of the food was eaten by dragons. Later, due to Qu Yuan's suggestion, they wrapped rice in neem leaves, wrapped it in colored silk, and later made it look like zongzi.
