The legend of Dragon Boat Festival is about 100 words.

According to legend, Qu Yuan advocated the use of talents and empowerment to make him rich, and urged him to unite against Qin, which was strongly opposed by others. Qu Yuan was deposed, expelled from the capital and exiled to the Yuanxiang Valley. In 278 BC, Qin Jun invaded Kyoto, Chu. Qu Yuan was heartbroken to see his motherland being invaded, but he couldn't bear to abandon his motherland. On May 5th, he threw himself into the Miluo River. ?

After Quyuan jumped into the river, the local people immediately rowed for help when they heard the news. In order to mourn, people rowed on rivers, and later it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. People were afraid that fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home and threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body. Later, it became the custom of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival.
