Why do we eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?

Drive away the dragon
According to records: During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, a Changsha man dreamed of a man at night who claimed to be Sanlu Doctor (Qu Yuan's official name) and said to him: "The things you offered sacrifices to were all stolen by the dragon in the river. From now on, you can wrap them in mugwort leaves and tie them up with five-colored silk threads. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. This way you don't have to worry about being destroyed by dragons again!" So people began to make "jiaoshu" by wrapping millet with cattail leaves. It has been passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into my country's Dragon Boat Festival food.
Commemorating Qu Yuan
The legend has it that in 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and minister of the State of Chu, faced the pain of losing his country. On May 5th, he was so angry that he embraced a large stone and threw himself into the Miluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from damaging his body, people filled bamboo tubes with rice and threw them into the river. Later, in order to express their respect and remembrance for Qu Yuan, people would fill bamboo tubes with rice and throw them into the river to commemorate him on this day. This is the origin of the earliest rice dumpling in my country - the "tube rice dumpling".

——About the origin of the name of the Dragon Boat Festival

The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in the "Fengtu Ji" of the Western Jin Dynasty: "The Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer refers to the fifth day of May. The custom attaches great importance to this day, which is the same as the summer solstice."
"Duan" means beginning or start in ancient Chinese, so "Duanwu" is also called "the fifth day of the fifth month".
"Shuowen Jiezi" says: "Duan means the beginning of things", which means that Duan means the beginning, so the fifth day of May is called "Duanwu Festival".
"Sui Shi Guang Ji" said: "The merchants in the capital city regard the first day of May as Duan Yi, the second day as Duan Er, and the number of days up to the fifth day as Duan Wu."
The ancients used to call the first few days of May "Duan". Therefore, the first noon day of May is called Dragon Boat Festival.
