Legendary stories about ancient characters: Qu Yuan jumped into the river

During the Spring and Autumn period, China was divided into many small countries, Qin was the most powerful of them, and Chu was a relatively weak country, often threatened by Qin.

Qu Yuan, a minister of Chu, was so worried about his country that he suggested that the king of Chu should join hands with Qi to resist Qin, which was strongly opposed by the noble scholar class.

Qu Yuan was framed, removed from his official position, and exiled to a faraway place. However, Qu Yuan was still worried about his country and its people, and as a result, he wrote the immortal poem Li Sao, which worries about the country and its people.

In 278 BC, Qin's army really occupied the capital of Chu. When Qu Yuan heard the news, he was overwhelmed with grief and committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. In this way, Qu Yuan expressed his love for his motherland and his grief for the world.

People in Chu heard the news of Qu Yuan's suicide and rushed to the river. The fishermen rowed their boats up the river and searched for him, hoping to salvage him. Some people threw rice balls and eggs prepared for Qu Yuan into the river, hoping that the fish, shrimps and crabs in the river would eat these foodstuffs and not nibble Qu Yuan's body.

From then on, every year on the fifth day of the fifth month, people would bring offerings to the river to honor Qu Yuan. However, people found that if they threw the rice balls directly into the water, they would fall apart, so they thought of wrapping the rice in leaves and tying it with colorful threads on the outside.

Slowly, this kind of rice ball wrapped in leaves became the dumplings of today. The action of fishermen rowing boats to salvage Qu Yuan evolved into a dragon boat race as a sporting activity now.
