The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional

view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowninghimself in a river because he was disgusted by the

corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be agood man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they wouldnot eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragonboats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboardthe boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebratedas

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous rice dumplings calledzongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats inmemory of Qu's dramatic death.
