Wen Yiduo believes that the fifth day of May is the day when the "Dragon" tribe in ancient wuyue held totem sacrifices in the Dragon Boat Festival exam and the Dragon Boat Festival history education. There are two main reasons. First, the two most important activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, eating zongzi and dragon boat racing, are all related to dragons: zongzi is often stolen by dragons when thrown into the water, and dragon boat racing is done by dragon boats.

Second, the relationship between race and ancient wuyue is particularly deep. In addition, wuyue and people with serial tattoos have the custom of "looking like dragons". Third, the ancient folk custom of "tying the arm with colored silk" was useful on the fifth day of May, and it should be a relic of the tattoo custom of "like a dragon".

Legend has it that the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 23-220) when a filial daughter Cao E saved her drowning father. Cao E was a native of Shangyu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Her father drowned in the river and didn't see her body for several days. At that time, Cao E, the filial daughter, was only fourteen years old, crying day and night by the river. 17 days later, he also threw himself into the river on May 5, and fished out his father's body five days later. This incident was passed down as a myth, and later spread to the county governor's office, so that Du remained a monument and his disciple Han Danchun made a eulogy.

The tomb of the filial daughter is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province today, and there is a monument made by Jin. Later, in order to commemorate Cao E's filial piety, Cao E Temple was built where Cao E threw himself into the river. The village where she lived was renamed Cao E Town, and the place where Cao E died was named Cao E River. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate the filial daughter Cao E.
