The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, has a rich history that dates back to the Warring States period of ancient China, around the 5th century BC. Here is the English translation of its origin:
The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is attributed to the memory of Qu Yuan, a loyal minister of the State of Chu during the Warring States period. Qu Yuan was a poet and statesman who was exiled for his opposition to corruption within the government. Feeling despair over the state of his country, he drowned himself in the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
To prevent fish from eating his body, local people raced dragon boats and threw zongzi (sticky rice dumplings) into the river. The dragon boat races are believed to be a way to scare away the fish and honor Qu Yuan's sacrifice. The tradition of eating zongzi also symbolizes the respect for Qu Yuan's loyalty and his love for his country.
Over time, the Dragon Boat Festival has evolved into a time for various activities, including dragon boat races, eating zongzi, and hanging mugwort and calamus to ward off evil spirits. It is celebrated not only in China but also in other Asian countries with Chinese cultural influences.
