Festival source:

Dragon Boat Festival originated from the worship of natural phenomena and evolved from the ancient Dragon Boat Festival. According to folklore, the Dragon Boat Festival still commemorates Wu Zixu, Cao E, Jiezitui, Chen Lin, an upright official, and Gou Jian, the King of Yue.

However, it is most widely circulated in memory of Qu Yuan. Legend has it that Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping on the Miluo River on the fifth day of May, and the Chu people did not give up the sage Qu Yuan. In order to prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by river fish, people spontaneously rowed into the river to disperse the fish, or threw rice balls into the river to preserve Qu Yuan's body. Later, this custom was handed down.

Origin of other names of Dragon Boat Festival:

1, Japanese-Chinese Festival

Because the Dragon Boat Festival is just around the summer solstice, the direct point of the sun is on the tropic of cancer, and the position of the sun in the sky is the most one day in a year, hence the name. Tian Rucheng's Journey to the West Lake Volume 20 Ode to Joy in Ming Dynasty: "The reason why the Dragon Boat Festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival is because the sun goes to Zhongtian at noon and reaches the highest point, and you run away at noon."

2. Duanyang Festival

The name of Duanyang Festival comes from the number of Yin and Yang techniques. The afternoon is "Yang Chen", and the first afternoon in the afternoon is called Duanyang. The Chronicle of Jingchu's Age says: Climbing in midsummer, the sun is in the sky, May is midsummer, and its first afternoon is a good day to climb in the sun. "

3. Mid-Autumn Festival

In ancient times, heavenly stems and earthly branches was the carrier, and the times were universal in heavenly stems and earthly branches. At first, the Dragon Boat Festival was the noon day of the calendar, with the first month as the first month, the fifth month as the noon month, and the noon day as the heavy noon. In the Han dynasty, due to the unification of the north and the south and the change of the calendar, the court decided to change the Dragon Boat Festival to the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year to facilitate the festival.
