The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. According to the Chronicle of Jingchu, it is midsummer when the sun is on the mountain and it is midsummer in May. Its first afternoon is a sunny day to climb mountains in the sun, so the fifth day of May is also called "Duanyang Festival". In addition, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Noon Festival, May Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Bathing Orchid Festival".

Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. It was originally a totem festival of the tribes who worshipped dragon totem in ancient Baiyue area. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Baiyue area, it was customary to hold totem festivals for tribes in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Later, Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period, threw himself into the Miluo River on that day. In order to establish the label of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism, the rulers regard the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, and some areas also commemorate Wu Zixu and Cao E.
