Introduce the contents of China Dragon Boat Festival in English. The origin of traditional food and traditional activities of Dragon Boat Festival should be preserved.

In China, the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in China, who committed suicide by jumping into the river after being tied up with big stones on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Qu Yuan is the number one counselor of Chu State.

But people are jealous of his position and say a lot of bad things behind his back.

In the end, the king didn't take his advice and was killed by the enemies of neighboring countries.

The new king continued to enjoy a luxurious life and didn't like Qu Yuan.

Later, Qu Yuan was exiled. Since then, he has written many patriotic poems.

Qu Yuan thinks that the king can't govern the country, people only care about themselves, no one cares about the future of the country, and there is no point in living, so he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Fishermen are worried that the fish will eat him, so they throw food into the river to feed the fish.

In addition, they tried to scare away the fish by splashing water with paddles and beating drums on long and narrow boats.

The fishermen believe that there is a waterspout under the river.

A man poured a big jar of strong yellow wine (made of rice), and later, a drunken dragon fish floated on the river.
