Colorful boats, beating drums and cheering crowds get people excited about Dragon Boat Festival. Officially, it falls on on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. But an Internet search reveals celebrations all the way from May to October.
Legend says that the festival begans in honor of one of China's first great poets, Qu Yuan. He served in the government and was well-known for his honesty. Through his poetry, he expressed a deep love for his country.
Around 278 B.C., Qu Yuan's gevernment lost a battle. Some believe that when he heard the news, Qu Yuan became filled with grief. He then walked out into the Mi Luo River and drowned himself. Because of their love for Qu Yuan, the people tried to save him. They jumped into their boats and searched the water for him. They also through zongzi(粽子) to the fish, hoping to keep them from eating Qu Yuan's body. The poet was never found but is still remembered each Dragon Boat Festival.
