Well, what do people know about this day?

what do people do this day??
yes, dragon boat racing!!Well the above two are the significant representative thing that can be think of during this day...those tradition has been followed since thousand years ago which is the commemorate of suicide day of Qu yan..a poet n statesmen that loyalty to the kingdom and king...
His commited suicide was due to the disapointed towards the king because of the king believe to others (Qin Hui) story of Qu Yan's bad and unreal accuses, eventually lead to the king's banishes, he drowning himself into a river with the heart of dissapointed after the kingdom capital was conquered by the Qin...that day is exactly Lunar 5th of May...
The nation was tried hard but couldn't find his body at that river, what they do to make the rice dumpling and throw into that river so that the aqua life won't eat Qu Yan's body!!!
The dumpling is from what they throw into river by sail boat, and now has become a tradition food of this day...and the dragon boat!! You can actually see how it related!!!
But it seems this history are going to be forgotten for the new generation!!! How sad~
