In China,the Dragon Boat Festival memorializes the Chinese patriotic poet Qu Yuan,who committed suicide by jumping into the river after tying himself with big rock on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month.
Qu Yuan was the number one advisor of the kingdom of Chu .
But people were jealous his position and said lots of bad words on his back.
The king wouldn't take his advice in the end and was killed by the enemy of neighbor kingdom.
The new king continued to enjoy the luxury life and didn't like Qu Yuan either.
Later,Qu Yuan was exiled.He wrote many patriotic poem after then.
Qu Yuan thought that the king wouldn't run the country,people only cared about themselves,nobody cared the future of the country and to live is meaningless,so he killed himself by drowning himself in the river.
Fishermen worried about fish would eat his body,so they threw food into the river to feed the fish.
Plus,they tried to scare fish away by splashing the water with their paddles and beating the drums on the long narrow boats.
Fishermen believed there was a water-dragon under the river.
One man poured down a big jar of strong yellow wine (made of rice)and later,a drunken dragon-like fish floated on the river.
