The festival a history of over 2,000 years and has its roots in several legends and traditional customs. The most famous legend associated with the Dragon Boat Festival is that of Yuan, a poet and statesman from ancient China.

Qu Yuan was a loyal minister who served the state of Chu during the Warring States period in China. He was famous for his patriotism and literary works, but his counsel was often ignored by the corrupt officials in the court. When the Chu state was conquered by a rival kingdom, Qu Yuan was devastated. In despair, he drowned himself in the Miluo River on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month in 278 BC.

The people who admired Qu Yuan's loyalty and moral character rushed to the river to try and save him. They beat drums and paddled boats to scare away the fish and evil spirits in the water, and they threw rice dumplings known as zongzi into the river to prevent the fish from devouring Qu Yuan's body. These customs are still practiced today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival is also associated with other cultural practices, such as dragon boat races and the consumption of zongzi. Dragon boat races involve teams of rowers paddling in long, narrow boats decorated like dragons. It is a thrilling and festive competition that attracts spectators from all around.

Zongzi, pyramid-shaped dumplings made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, are traditionally eaten during the festival. They are usually filled with a variety of ingredients such as meats, beans, and dates. The making and sharing of zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival symbolizes the act of warding off evil spirits and bringing good luck.
