1. In memory of Qu Yuan, it is said that the most popular one is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It is said that during the Warring States Period, the poet of Chu committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on the fifth day of May. In order to prevent fish and shrimp in the river from eating his body and starving his soul in the river, people wrap food in zongzi leaves and throw it into the river.
2. In memory of Wu Zixu, it is said that Wu Zixu was framed by a traitor for his country and committed suicide to prove his innocence. On May 5th, his body was thrown into the river, so it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival was held in memory of Wu Zixu.
In memory of the youngest daughter Cao E, it is said that Cao E's father drowned in the river and hasn't seen the body for several days. At that time, the youngest daughter, Cao E, was only fourteen years old, crying by the river day and night. 17 days later, he also threw himself into the river on May 5, and took out his father's body five days later, which was passed down as a myth. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate his filial daughter Cao E.
