The local people threw food into the river so that Qu Yuan’s body could be spared by the fish. Others raced to retrieve his body from the river, in their boats. What the people did on that occasion has now become the way this day is remembered. Food was later wrapped in bamboo leaves and thrown into the river as an offering to the great poet’s spirit. This form of wrapping food in pyramid shape has become our present day zhongzi (粽子), which is enjoyed by all every year during Duanwu Festival. The racing of boats to retrieve Qu Yuan’s body has become the modern day Dragon boat race (赛龙舟). This is why in some parts of the world, Duanwu Festival is also known as “Dragon Boat” Festival.

: #端午节# （Dragon Boat Festival）

为每年农历五月初五，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节等。“端午节”为中国国家法定节假日之一，并已被列入世界非物质文化遗产名录。端午节起源于中国，最初是中国人民祛病防疫的节日，吴越之地春秋之前有在农历五月初五以龙舟竞渡形式举行部落图腾祭祀的习俗；后因诗人屈原在这一天死去，便成了中国汉族人民纪念屈原的传统节日；部分地区也有纪念伍子胥、曹娥等说法。端午节有吃粽子，喝雄黄酒，挂菖蒲、蒿草、艾叶，薰苍术、白芷，赛龙舟的习俗。
