        The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han nationality not only, in a lot of ethnic minorities and some neighboring countries are also popular. Since 2008, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day as a national legal holiday vacation, with the Spring Festival, ching Ming festival, the Mid-Autumn festival is known as China's four big traditional holiday.

        Legends about the origin of Dragon Boat Festival, the biggest influence is due to commemorate qu yuan said. But the origin of Dragon Boat Festival long before qu yuan on time. Most of the Dragon Boat Festival's main folk around health fitness abolish poison to ward off bad luck, so I think, first should be health and epidemic prevention in ancient China, the Dragon Boat Festival day.

        The Dragon Boat Festival is not originated from commemorating qu yuan

        The Dragon Boat Festival customs is widely documented in the pre-qin literature, for example: the western han dynasty "big wear rites" preach "Xia Xiaozheng" refers to May 5, storage for bath also. Liberaty "Xia Xiaozheng" it was said that a suicide note, because of the existing literature is by appeared in the western han dynasty years of "big wear rites" collection and handed down from ancient times, and only by the later generations JiYi, scripture and mixed set, lead to later generations on the book s. But according to the research conclusion, national xia-shang-zhou chronology project "Xia Xiaozheng" described in the astronomical phenology and liberaty are consistent over time Again according to the mentioned in shi-ji biographic sketches of summer "" Confucius was summer, scholars preached the Xia Xiaozheng", at the very least, this book in before qu yuan more than 200 years ago Confucius era have been circulating.

        Qu yuan himself in "nine songs" "has the sentence of" bath LanShang xi MuFang ", visible "Xia Xiaozheng" recorded in the afternoon of may LanShang mu wash customs, qu yuan had existed on earth.

        The appearance of the Dragon Boat Festival customs before qu yuan, a famous scholar wen yiduo had proven. Mr. Test his "dragon-boat festival" and "the history of dragon boat education" article lists hundreds of literature demonstrates the Dragon Boat Festival originated in ancient southern wu yue ethnic totem worship, long before qu yuan.

        Commemorate qu yuan said in the extant literature originated in the southern liang generation Wu Jun renew the neat harmonic, and cases of deloitte was alarmed at the age of jingchu's record. Renew the neat harmonic "cloud:" qu yuan died for Mimi, May 5, way of mourning. Each to this day, bamboo tube rice storage, special offerings. Han JianWu, changsha's back, the day I saw a man, claiming to chu, "yue:" jun when see, very good. But often the legacy, bitter dragons are stolen. If this YouHui, can neem leaves on it, with colorful silk tie. The two things, dragon fears also. 'back to be destroyed. The world as a reed, and took five evanescent hues and neem leaf, is the legacy of mi - ronaldo also." The show was later generations make up the story. Sands from qu yuan's breaking bad "bosom" surging Meng Xia xi "in the words of inference, qu yuan's miluo river earlier like should be on dragon boat day (Dragon Boat Festival has been called a" summer "), therefore, May 5 of the miluo river said also question on time.

        Jingchu age "write eating zongzi on the summer solstice festival activities, and the sui dynasty of du fu" jade candle treasure dian "and the boatrace delimit the activities of the summer solstice, is this two activities at that time is not fixed in the Dragon Boat Festival.

        On dragon boat day commemorated some ZhongLie characters, like as in ancient China a common folk, memorable characters is qu yuan not only, also there are many other character and story. Such as "qing jia record" in the boatrace ji wu, is originated from commemorating wu zixu, suzhou wu zixu so there is a dragon boat sacrifice old habits; Have prevailed in the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate king goujian of zhejiang area, which is earlier than qu yuan. Have on dragon boat day after qu yuan memorial ma yuan (eastern han dynasty/guangxi) Cao E (/) in zhejiang province in eastern han dynasty, qi jiguang ()/fujian in Ming dynasty and the modern female democratic revolutionary qiu jin (zhejiang) and other activities.

        The Dragon Boat Festival is not due to qu yuan, but due to qu yuan's patriotic spirit, personality charm and touching poem is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, to commemorate qu yuan into the Dragon Boat Festival activities, there is no doubt that enriched the content of the festival, has a good effect. Mr Wen yiduo in pointed out that the Dragon Boat Festival is not originated from commemorating qu yuan at the same time, also must relate the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate qu yuan in the significance of cultural education. He said in the article "dragon-boat festival history education" : "who is first lies, said that the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate qu yuan? I admire his great wisdom!"

        Is clear: the Dragon Boat Festival is not formed in honor of a historical figure and festival, is to have the Dragon Boat Festival, then I have carried out in the holiday to some historical heroes character especially qu yuan memorial activities.
