The Dragon Boat Festival was originally established in memory of Qu Yuan and later developed by Goujian as a common practice. The Jinchu Chronicle (《荆楚岁时记》) says, “On the fifth day of the lunar month of May, Qu Yuan plunged into the Miluo River and tried to kill himself. Boats were sent to save him.” So it is clear that saving the poet Qu Yuan was the real purpose of dragon boat rowing.What’s the original meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival?
