The Dragon Boat Festival originated from the ancient State of Chu in China. It is said that it was set up in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu State. The following is a legend about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival:

In ancient times, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu State, was a loyal and deeply loved politician and writer. However, due to political struggle and conspiracy, he was exiled. During his exile, he wrote many works, including poems describing his loyalty to the country.

Later, when he heard that Chu was attacked by the enemy, he felt very sad. On the fifth day of May, he picked up a boulder and jumped into the Miluo River to express his loyalty and pain to the country.

It is said that on the day Quyuan threw himself into the river, people rowed dragon boats to salvage his body for fear that fish and shrimp would eat him. In addition, people also sprinkle zongzi in the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating.

Since then, in order to commemorate Qu Yuan's loyalty and grief, the fifth day of May has become an important festival every year. People row dragon boats and eat zongzi to express their memory of Qu Yuan and their blessings to the country.

This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, a legend about loyalty and patriotism. Up to now, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a festive and lively traditional festival. In this day's celebration, people pay more attention to family reunion and the inheritance of China culture.

It is said that there was a plague epidemic in ancient China, and it was found that snakes, dragons and other animals were the main spreaders of the disease. In order to drive away diseases and evil spirits, people make dragon boats, row across the river, and beat drums and set off firecrackers to pray for peace and health. This ceremony gradually evolved into the current dragon boat race.
