I gave many heavy sighs in despair, lamenting that I was born in such an unfortunate era. I put a team of Yulong on a Phoenix car, waiting for the wind to come, and it turned sour during my journey.

Because he was deeply loved by the people, fishermen rowed out in long boats, beat gongs and drums to scare the fish away, and threw zongzi into the water to feed the brave fish, so that they wouldn't eat Qu Yuan's body.

From then on, the modern Dragon Boat Festival to today, people commemorate Qu Yuan through dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and other activities to commemorate the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Dragon boat race is the most exciting part of the festival, attracting a large audience. Dragon boats are generally colorful and ornate canoes. The length varies from 40 feet to 100 feet. Their heads are shaped like dragons with open mouths, and there is a scaly tail at the end of the sternum. Depending on the length, as many as 80 rowers can provide power for the ship. A drummer and a flag bearer stood in front of the boat. Before the dragon boat takes part in the competition, it must be "given life" by drawing eyes in a sacred ceremony. Any number of ships can participate in the competition, and the winner is the first team to grab the flag at the finish line. The annual competition is held in China, Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province and other overseas Chinese communities.
