The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival began when people scattered Mi Dou grains on the Miluo River to feed Qu Yuan. Later, I was afraid of being eaten by fish and shrimp in the river, so I wrapped rice beans with leaves to make zongzi.
Qu Yuan was a great poet and doctor in Chu State. After being exiled to Miluo River by the King of Chu, he created a large number of well-known Chu Ci.
"The road is long, Xiu Yuan, Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down." . Unfortunately, Chu was destroyed and Qu Yuan's road was broken. In 278 years before the park, he threw a stone into the Miluo River.
But the people of Chu will never forget him. Every year, they paddle boats to the river to offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan and give him zongzi as a tribute.
Later, everyone went to worship him, so they rowed boats and competed with each other, and they didn't want to fall behind. Slowly, the dragon boat race appeared.
Because the sacrificial activities are very lively, and Qu Yuan's poems are very beautiful, the sacrifice to active communication is very slow, and more and more people join the Dragon Boat Festival.
In the process of communication, various places gradually joined their own traditional habits, such as drinking realgar wine and hanging Aipu.
Because these activities can increase the interest of sacrifice, they are gradually accepted by everyone and gradually form a complete Dragon Boat Festival, which has been passed down to this day.
Dragon Boat Festival later became a more festive festival, which spread widely all over the country, even reaching North Korea 1500 years ago, forming the local gangneung danoje festival.
Studying the traditional festivals in China, you will find that most of them are related to sacrifice. China is a nation that attaches great importance to ancestor worship.
Our ancestors gave us endless wisdom and cultural wealth, and history needs to be remembered and passed on.
