端午节安康 Safe and Healthy Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat for the Festival, Xiamen

Among the legends about the origins of the Dragon Boat Festival, the most popular one is in commemoration of Qu Yuan. The great poet drowned himself in the Miluo River, from then on the locals would beat drums and rowboats on the river on this day, and put zongzi in the river in order to keep the fish and evil spirits away from his body.

端午节，厦门

在关于端午节起源的传说中，最流行的是纪念屈原。这位伟大的诗人在汨罗江中溺水自尽，从那时起，当地人会在这一天在河上击鼓划船，并把粽子放在河里，以防鱼和恶魔远离他的身体。
