The origin and customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, do you really know?

Hello, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is the people on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar to cook glutinous rice or steamed rice dumplings cake into the river, in order to worship Qu Yuan. For fear that the fish eat, so the bamboo tube containing glutinous rice thrown down, and later gradually with zongzhuang leaves wrapped rice instead of bamboo tube

People use Ruo leaves to rice wrapped up, and then wrapped around the outside of the red silk thread, and then thrown into the water, so that the auger fish and shrimp think it is a diamond and do not go to eat. Thanks.
