Here are some English translations of the origins and stories of the Dragon Boat Festival (Duanwu Festival):

1. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is closely related to the memory of the ancient Chinese poet Qu Yuan. He lived during the Warring States period and was known for his patriotism and literary talent. He drowned himself in the Miluo River because of political injustice, and the people mourned him by racing dragon boats and throwing rice into the river to prevent fish from eating his body.
2. According to one legend, the festival is named after a deity called "Dragon King," who was believed to protect against evil spirits and disease. Dragon boat races were organized to appease the Dragon King and to bring good luck.
3. In another tale, the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates the sacrifice of the general Huo Qubing. After he defeated the rebellion led by the tyrant Emperor Qin Shi Huang, he drowned himself in the Yangtze River, and his soldiers mourned him by racing dragon boats and offering tribute.
4. Some believe that the festival is tied to the ancient practice of driving away harmful spirits and diseases during the hot summer months. Eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings), drinking realgar wine, and hanging mugwort leaves on doors are all part of these protective rituals.
5. The Dragon Boat Festival is also celebrated as a time to honor other ancient heroes and warriors who have demonstrated bravery and loyalty throughout Chinese history. These stories serve as moral reminders and sources of inspiration.
