Legend has it that after Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed to save him, all the way to Dongting Lake, and never saw Qu Yuan's body again. It was rainy, and the boats on the lake gathered near the pavilion on the shore.
When people learned that it was to salvage the sage Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on rivers, and later it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. People were afraid that fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home and threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body. Later, eating zongzi became a custom.
