The Historical Background of the Origin of the Dragon Boat Festival
Historical background: The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China, originating from the worship of natural phenomena and evolving from the worship of dragons in ancient times. According to the Records of the Grand Historian, Qu Yuan was a minister of the State of Chu during the Spring and Autumn period. He advocated for promoting the selection of talents and empowering the country, strengthening the military, and advocating for the alliance of Qi and resisting Qin. However, he faced strong opposition from nobles such as Lan, and was ultimately demoted to the Yuan and Xiang river basins. In 278 BC, the State of Qin conquered the capital of Chu, and Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river during his exile. In memory of Qu Yuan, people eat Zongzi, race dragon boats, hang wormwood and wear sachets on the fifth day of May every year.

On Dragon Boat Festival, parents also need to dress their children up with a perfume pouch. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth, then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines, and finally string them with silk threads. The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.
It has since been celebrated in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well, most notably Korea.
The exact origins of Dragon Boat Festival are unclear. But there ather one is that:
The Dragon Boat Festival is held to memorilize the poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He commited suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River because he was digusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating Qu's body. They also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.
