Legend of Dragon Boat Festival
According to legend, people eat zongzi, race dragon boats and hang wormwood on the porch to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Because Qu Yuan was heartbroken, he threw himself into the Miluo River on May 5.
There is also a legend that Wu Zixu, a loyal minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, was thrown into the river on May 5th, hence the saying that the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Wu Zixu.
There is also a legend to commemorate Cao E, the filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Also on the fifth day of May, she threw herself into the river to save her father.
In addition, in ancient May, the weather was hot and humid, and poisonous insects invaded. The fifth day of May is called Evil Month and Evil Day. At that time, there were all kinds of detoxification activities, as well as the customs of "hiding from the Dragon Boat Festival" and "avoiding the five poisons", that is, avoiding evil spirits and epidemics on this day. Therefore, people will hang wormwood or calamus at home during the Dragon Boat Festival, and put wormwood sachets and colored silk thread on their children to achieve peace and security.
