Explanation: The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, dragon boat festival, Chongwu Festival, Dragon Festival, Zhengyang Festival, Tianzhong Festival, etc., is a traditional festival in China. The Dragon Boat Festival originated from celestial worship and evolved from the dragon sacrifice in ancient times. In the midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, the Seven Houses of the Dragon ascend to the south of the middle heaven, which is the day when the dragon flies, that is, as the fifth word of the "I Ching Qiangua" is called: "The flying dragon is in the sky". The Dragon Boat Day Dragon Star is both "in the middle" and "right", which is the symbol of great luck and great fortune. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, containing profound and rich cultural connotations; in the inheritance and development of a variety of folk customs as a whole, the festival is rich in content. Dragon boats and rice dumplings are the two major customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which have been passed down in China since ancient times and have not been abandoned.

After Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the local people immediately rowed boats to rescue him when they heard the news. In order to send mourning, people swam on the river, and then gradually developed into a dragon boat race. The people were afraid that the fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home and brought rice balls and threw them into the river, so as not to spoil Qu Yuan's body with fish and shrimp, which later became the custom of eating rice dumplings.
