There are many sayings about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the most popular and widely spread legend is about commemorating Qu Yuan. It is said that Qu Yuan was a famous patriotic poet and politician in ancient China. In 278 BC, he was worried about his country and people, so he threw himself into the river at Huangmaping in the Yangtze River. In order to mourn Qu Yuan's death and prevent aquatic animals such as fish and shrimp from invading his body, people began to put zongzi in rivers and row boats and play dragon boats, forming the current Dragon Boat Festival activities.
The main activities of the Dragon Boat Festival are eating zongzi, dragon boat racing, hanging calamus, wormwood and other plants. At the same time, some places also hold folk activities such as lion dance, dragon dance, walking on stilts and yangko singing. Among them, eating zongzi and dragon boat racing are the most important traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival and have become one of the cultural symbols of the Chinese nation.
