He was concerned about the country, but he had still been banished by the king, and the ungoverned State of Chu was later captured by the State of Qin.

Qu Yuan was so sad that he jumped into the river on May fifth lunar month, but when the residents found out, it was too late, so they used leaves to wrapped rice and throw them into the river to feed fish and shrimp, rowing dragon boats to scare them away, hoping that they will not harm Qu Yuan's body.

The fifth day of May of the lunar calendar also became a day to commemorate Qu Yuan, which is also called Dragon Boat Festival.

Dragon boat rowing and eating rice dumplings have also become the most widely known customs of the Dragon Boat Festival today.]]> 2023-10-16 12:02:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cbb112231_/ydidc30ssb7vbfoi/wish/2748672874
