1. Who is Qu Yuan in the story?
Why did he commit suicide by jumping into the river?

The teacher concluded: It turns out that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate a great man in ancient China. His name is Qu Yuan. He is a patriotic poet. He cares about state affairs wholeheartedly. Seeing that the country is about to face extinction, he can't save it, so he is worried all day. Soon, the talented poet committed suicide by jumping into the river! But his body has never been found! When he committed suicide, it was near the fifth day of May. People designate the fifth day of May as the Dragon Boat Festival, on which dragon boat races and zongzi are held. Dragon boat race is to drive away the fish and shrimp in the river, for fear that they will eat Qu Yuan's body, and throw steamed buns and zongzi into the river to feed the fish and shrimp, for fear that he will eat Qu Yuan's body! This shows how respected and loved Qu Yuan is.
