Legend of the origin of dragon boat racing:

In 278 BC, Qin Jun invaded Kyoto, Chu, and Qu Yuan could not bear to abandon his motherland. On the fifth day of May, after he wrote the last song "Huai Sha", he threw himself into the river.

Legend has it that after Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay homage to Qu Yuan. The fisherman paddled the boat and fished for his real body back and forth on the river. They rushed to catch up with each other and disappeared at Dongting Lake.

After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body.

In Miluo City, Hunan Province, before the dragon boat race, you must go to Quzi Temple to worship the Weng God in the temple, wrap red cloth around the dragon head, and then race the boat, which is not only to worship the dragon god, but also to commemorate Qu Yuan.

In Zigui, Hubei, Qu Yuan's hometown, there is also a ceremony to worship Qu Yuan. The custom of offering sacrifices to Qu Yuan is recorded in Sui Shu's Geography: "The song is noisy and the audience is like a cloud."

In the Tang Dynasty, Liu Yuxi's song "Zudu" is self-explanatory: "Zudu began in Wuling and is now in harmony. Its voice is salty, saying,' Where is it?' This is what Qu means. "
