According to legend, Qu Yuan, a poet of the State of Chu during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. The people of the State of Chu established the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate him. Qu Yuan was a patriotic poet. He was exiled because of his loyalty to the country. His loyalty and patriotic spirit are worth learning from. In order to commemorate him, people began to hold sacrificial activities on the fifth day of May every year.

There were many theories about the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival. One theory was that it originated from the worship of natural phenomena and evolved from the dragon sacrifice in ancient times. It was related to the changes in the astronomical phenomena of the seven constellations of the eastern black dragon. In spring, it raised its head in the east, in summer, it rose in the south, in autumn, it retreated in the west, and in winter, it disappeared below the northern horizon. Another saying was to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan committed suicide by jumping into the river on the fifth day of May. People designated this day as the Dragon Boat Festival in memory of him. In addition, in ancient Wu (now Suzhou area), there was a view that it was to commemorate Wu Zixu; some places in Zhejiang believed that it was to commemorate the filial daughter Cao E. The meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival was rich and varied. In terms of culture, it carried a profound cultural heritage. Dragon boat racing, eating dumplings and other customs had a strong cultural origin. Dragon boat racing was originally a custom of offering sacrifices to gods, river gods, and water gods. Later, it had a special significance in the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan and other figures. The rituals of inviting dragons and offering sacrifices to gods before the dragon boat race reflected unique cultural implications. Eating dumplings was originally a tribute to the gods of ancestors. From the perspective of folk customs, the Dragon Boat Festival was a festival for the ancients to ward off evil spirits and diseases to a certain extent. Such customs as hanging wormwood reflected this meaning. There were also customs such as eating salted eggs, realgar wine, five-poison cakes, traveling all kinds of diseases, hanging wormwood calamus in the courtyard, etc., which also reflected people's yearning for health, peace and a better life.
