Xiamen Aoyin Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. is pleased to share the story behind the Dragon Boat Festival on our Google independent website. As this traditional Chinese festival approaches, many people may be thinking - what is the story behind the Dragon Boat Festival?
The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, has a history of more than 2,000 years. It is a festival with a long history in China, commemorating the life of the famous poet and minister Qu Yuan. According to legend, Qu Yuan was a loyal minister of the King of Chu and was exiled for opposing corrupt officials. In despair, he committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest against political corruption in the kingdom.
In order to prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by fish and evil spirits, the villagers rowed boats to rescue him. They beat gongs and drums and poured water to drive away any creature that might harm his body. This marked the beginning of the traditional Dragon Boat Festival event we see today, with dragon boat teams racing to the rhythm of gongs and drums.
In addition to the thrilling dragon boat races and dragon boat decorations, another staple food of the Dragon Boat Festival is the traditional food-zongzi. These pyramid-shaped dumplings are made from glutinous rice stuffed with various fillings such as meat, beans, nuts, etc., wrapped in bamboo leaves, and steamed or boiled. According to legend, locals threw rice dumplings into the river to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body.
Today, people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival by racing dragon boats, eating rice dumplings, drinking realgar wine, and hanging incense to ward off evil spirits. It’s a time for families to reunite, remember their ancestors, and pay tribute to China’s rich cultural heritage.
