The origin of Dragon Boat Festival:

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is one of the biggest traditional folk festivals in China, the Dragon Boat Festival. There are many explanations about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the theory of commemorating Qu Yuan has the greatest influence. According to legend, in the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC, doctors in the State of Chu complained that those in power were delirious, deeply rooted in the expansion policy of the State of Qin, worried about the country and the people, and threw stones at Luojiang. People rushed to the river from all directions after hearing the news, and some rowed fishing boats around the river to save the poet; Some people throw zongzi into the river to offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan.
