Which celebrities died during the Dragon Boat Festival?

1. Qu Yuan
Qu Yuan, a native of Danyang in the State of Chu during the late Warring States Period, was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
It is said that in 278 BC, the Qin army conquered the capital of the Chu State. Qu Yuan was heartbroken to see his motherland being invaded, but he could not bear to abandon his motherland. On May 5th, after writing his last work "Huaisha", he hugged a stone and jumped into the Miluo River to commit suicide, thus composing a magnificent patriotic movement with his life. After Qu Yuan jumped into the river, local people immediately rowed boats to rescue him and threw food wrapped in rice dumplings into the river in the hope that the fish would not eat Qu Yuan's body.
2. Cao E
Cao E was a native of Shangyu in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Legend has it that Cao E's father drowned in the river and his body was not found for several days. The filial daughter Cao E was only fourteen years old at the time, and she cried along the river day and night. Seventeen days later, on May 5th, he also jumped into the river and carried out his father's body five days later. This became a legend and was then passed on to the county governor, who ordered Du Shang to erect a monument for him and asked his disciple Handan Chun to write a eulogy to praise him.
3. Wu Zixu
Wu Zixu, whose name was Yuan, was a native of Chu. His father and brother were both killed by the King of Chu. Later, Zixu turned to the light and fled to the State of Wu, helping Wu to attack Chu. After five battles, he entered the capital of Chu, Yingcheng.
At that time, King Chu Ping had died. Zi Xu dug up his tomb and whipped his corpse 300 times to avenge the murder of his father and brother. After the death of King Helu of Wu, his son Fuchai succeeded to the throne. The morale of the Wu army was high, and they won every battle. The Yue Kingdom was defeated. King Goujian of Yue asked for peace, and Fuchai agreed. Zixu suggested that the Yue Kingdom should be completely destroyed, but Fuchai did not listen. The prime minister of Wu Kingdom was bribed by the Yue Kingdom and slandered Wu Zixu. Fuchai believed it and gave Zixu a sword, which led to Zixu's death. Wu Zixu was a loyal and honest man who was ready to face death with equanimity. Before his death, he said to his neighbors, "After I die, dig out my eyes and hang them on the east gate of Wujing, so that I can watch the Yue army enter the city and destroy Wu." Then he committed suicide. Upon hearing this, King Fuchai was furious and ordered Zixu's body to be taken and thrown into the river on May 5th.
