In

it

commonly

known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one

traditional view holds that the festival memorializes

the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the

Warring

States

Period.

He

committed

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 fish so they would not eat Qu

’

s

body.

They

also

sat

on

long,

narrow

paddle

boats

called

dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the

thundering

sound

of

drums

aboard

the

boat

and

the

fierce

looking carved dragon head on the boat

’

s prow(

船头

).

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan

Wu

was

also

celebrated

as

"Poets

Day,"

due

to

Qu

Yuan

’

status

as

China
