Answer 1

Dragon Boat Festival
■ 端午节的由来
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double Fifth Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar. It is one of the most important Chinese festivals, the other two being the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.
The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.
Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Qu Yuan was born in Zigui of Hubei province over 2,200 years ago. Qu Yuan was an honest minister of the State of Chu, during the Warring States Period （475—221 BC）。He was upright and wise. He wanted to bring his country peace and make the state more stronger, but the country was in the hands of bad officials, he failed.
