The Origin of Dragon Boat Race

According to legend, there was a patriotic poet and politician Qu Yuan in ancient China. He was an official of the State of Chu and was loyal to the country and people. However, due to political struggle and conspiracy, Qu Yuan was exiled and finally threw himself into the river. When Qu Yuan jumped into the river, local fishermen missed his contribution. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from eating his body, they rowed to the river for search and rescue. But they didn't find Qu Yuan's body, so they began to draw water to salvage fish and shrimp to prevent them from eating Qu Yuan's body.

In memory of Qu Yuan, people began to hold a dragon boat race on the fifth day of May every year to simulate fishermen rowing for rescue. People row dragon boats, dance colorful flags on the boat, play drums and flutes, drive away demons and ghosts, and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat race has now become one of the indispensable traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. In the competition, people were divided into different teams, rowing dragon boats and scrambling to draw the fastest speed. At the same time, the audience will stand on the shore and cheer for the players.

Through the dragon boat race, people can not only commemorate Qu Yuan's loyalty and patriotism, but also enhance friendship and unity, and at the same time increase the happy atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival. This is the origin of dragon boat race, which has become one of the indispensable activities in China traditional culture.
