Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you know the origin of Dragon Boat Festival? ! I don't know! Then I'll tell you! Do you remember Qu Yuan, the patriotic general of Chu State? Let me talk about him!
Qu Yuan, who went abroad during the Warring States Period, was very knowledgeable. He is an official around the king of Chu, and his image makes his country rich and strong. The bad king Chu listened to the traitor and exiled Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in exile, he heard that the capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy, and the people suffered greatly. On the fifth day of May, he came to the Miluo River and jumped into it with a stone in his arms. People who go abroad are very sad to hear that Qu Yuan jumped into the river. They rowed the boat with tears in their eyes to salvage Qu Yuan and threw zongzi into the river to feed the fish, hoping that the fish would not hurt Qu Yuan's body.
This is the origin of making zongzi in Duanyang in May.
