History
With a history over 2,000 years, it used to be a hygiene day when people would use herbs to dispel diseases and viruses. However, the most popular origin is closely related to the great poet Qu Yuan in the Warring States Period (475 – 221BC). To engrave his death on the fifth day on the fifth lunar month, people celebrate the festival in various ways. Great people like Wu Zixu and Cao E also died on the same day, so in certain areas, people also commemorate them during the festival.
過去2000多年以來，這時一天世界衛生日，人們會使用藥草來驅散疾病和病毒🦠
但是端午節最著名的故事是相傳在公元475-221年期間，有位偉大的詩人屈原，犧牲自己，跳入江河！為了紀念他的死亡，人們在五月的第五天來紀念屈原！
Legend of Qu Yuan (屈原)
Many traditional customs and activities are held on the specified day by people in China and even by people in neighboring Asian countries. Dragon boat racing and eating Zongzi are the central customs of the festival. In some regions in China, people also wear a perfume pouch, tie five-color silk thread and hang mugwort leaves or calamus on their doors.
