The Dragon Boat Festival

1. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival


There are many theories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the most well-known one is: the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan during the Warring States Period.

Qu Yuan was a poet and statesman in the Warring States Period. He was ostracized and exiled because he advocated political reforms and violated the interests of noble ministers. In the end, Chu State was defeated by Qin State.

In order to commemorate Qu Yuan, the people set the day when he jumped into the river as the Dragon Boat Festival.
