It is said that Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period, jumped into the Miluo River on May 5th and committed suicide. Later, people also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also sayings in memory of Wu Zixu, Cao E and meson push. Generally speaking, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the ancient ancestors' choice of "Dragon Ascending to Heaven" as an auspicious day to worship the ancestors of the Dragon, and it was injected with the summer season of "eliminating diseases and preventing epidemics". The Dragon Boat Festival is considered as "the unlucky day for the moon", which originated in the northern part of the Central Plains and is accompanied by the commemoration of historical figures such as Qu Yuan.
