Brief introduction of Qu Yuan's story on Dragon Boat Festival
According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was a wise minister named Qu Yuan, who was originally a subordinate, but later failed to be reused. He was expelled from Beijing by Chen's resignation and exiled to Yuanshui and Xiangjiang River basins. Qu Yuan was saddened by the invasion of his motherland. On May 5th, after writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he threw himself into the Miluo River and died. After learning about this, Chu people were heartbroken and rushed to the river to offer their condolences. Some fishermen took out rice balls, eggs and other foods for Qu Yuan to eat, saying that if the ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs were full, they would not bite the doctor's body. People have followed suit. This custom has been passed down to this day and has become the habit of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival.
What other legends are there
About this festival, not everyone commemorates the same person because of different cultures. For example, in Wu's hometown of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, it is generally believed that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period. Wu Zixu was executed by Fu Cha for his rude remarks, and Fu Cha ordered Wu Zixu's body to be wrapped in leather and thrown into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. So, the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Wu Zixu. Some scholars even think: "The custom of Soochow lies in Zixu, not in Qu Ping." However, this is just a statement, and the details have yet to be verified. Let's find out.
