Dragon Boat Festival often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar。 It is also known as the Double Fifth。[citation needed] It has since been celebrated in various ways in other parts of East Asia as well， most notably Korea。
The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period。 He mitted suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted 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。
Qu yuan， who is a poet， minister and statesman in ancient China， played an essential role in Chu country。 His wisdom and knowledge of which King Huai thought highly is blamed for the envy from other officials。 In order to keep Qu yuan from disturbing their proposals， they said some gossips to King Huai。 The king trusted them， changed his mind to Qu yuan and recalled his position。 Having heard this news， Quyuan was exceedingly depressed， screaming into sky and sank himself in Miluo Lake。 Villagers were heart-broken when they heard this dreadful thing。 For the sake of protecting him from being bitten by fish or dragon， villagers poured Zong zi， eggs even Realgar wine into the river。 Since then， each individual sculls the dragon boat and eats Zong zi for memorizing this great and patriotic poet。
