The Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is one of the folk "three festivals a year". According to legend, this day was the day when Qu Yuan, the first great poet in China, committed suicide. Later generations wronged him, so they threw zongzi into the river for sacrifice and rowed a boat to save him, which became the custom of solar eclipse and dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival.

It is ridiculous that the Chu River is empty and cannot be washed directly. " ? He expressed his deep condolences to Qu Yuan and lashed him to the treacherous court official of the bad king.
