The origin of Dragon Boat Festival:

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 ancient festivals were formed when the ancients chose an auspicious day to worship the gods of heaven and earth and the kindness of their ancestors.

The early festival culture embodies the ancestors' worship of nature and the consolidation of humanistic spirit such as the source of thought. A series of sacrificial activities contain profound cultural connotations such as the sense of morality and the civilization of rites and music. The origin and development of festivals is a process of gradual formation, subtle improvement and popularization.

In ancient times, the north and the south had different customs. In the pre-Qin period, there were few records about the folk activities of the Dragon Boat Festival in the Central Plains. According to the written records about the Dragon Boat Festival, "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the Local Customs of the Jin Dynasty, but the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival have long existed, such as dragon boat racing and sacrifice.
