Dragon Boat Festival history:

The origin of ancient traditional festivals is related to ancient primitive beliefs, sacrificial culture, astronomical phenomena, calendars and other humanistic and natural cultural contents. According to the research results of modern anthropology and archaeology, the two most primitive beliefs of human beings are the belief in heaven and earth and the belief in ancestors. Most of the ancient festivals were formed in the activities that the ancients chose auspicious days to offer sacrifices to thank the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors for their kindness.

The early festival culture embodies the humanistic spirit of the ancients, such as advocating nature and seeking the source. A series of sacrificial activities contain profound cultural connotations, such as respecting morality, ritual and music civilization, etc. The origin and development of festivals is a process of gradual formation, subtle improvement and popularization.

The customs of ancient north and south are different, and the Dragon Boat Festival activities in the pre-Qin period are rarely recorded in the Central Plains literature, so it is impossible to directly verify the source of the existing literature. According to the written records about the Dragon Boat Festival, the word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the local customs of the Jin Dynasty, but the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival have existed for a long time, such as dragon boat racing and sacrifice.
