The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, which originated in the Warring States Period. According to legend, Qu, a great poet of Chu in the Spring and Autumn Period, was exiled for political reasons and threw himself into the river. In memory of Qu Yuan, people row dragon boats, wrap zongzi and hang wormwood on the fifth day of May every year to ward off evil spirits and avoid epidemics and welcome the Dragon Boat Festival.
