It is said that more than 2000 years ago, the state of Chu, there is a doctor called Qu Yuan, he is very patriotic, can not bear to see his motherland perish, and the result of the sorrow and anger threw the Buro River and died. The people of Chu were so grieved that they flocked to the Buro River to pay homage to Qu Yuan. People threw food into the river, saying that the fish and shrimps would not bite the body of Dr. Qu if they were fed. Since then, every year on the fifth day of May, there is a dragon boat race, eat zongzi custom, in order to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
Whenever the Dragon Boat Festival day, I can not only eat the fragrant dumplings, but also go to Dongqian Lake to watch the lively dragon boat race.
