Qu Yuan was a loyal and respected minister who brought peace and prosperity to the country. But in the end, he was vilified and finally threw himself into the river. People punted to the place where he committed suicide, leaving zongzi, hoping that the fish would eat zongzi instead of Qu Yuan's body. For thousands of years, the Dragon Boat Festival has been characterized by eating zongzi and racing dragon boats, especially in some southern provinces with dense rivers and lakes.
