brought peace and prosperity to the state but ended up drowning himself in a river as a
result of being got to the spot by boat and cast glutinous dumplings
into the water,hoping that the fishes ate the dumplings instead of Qu Yuan's body. For
thousands of years, the festival has been marked by glutinous dumplings and dragon
