Who is the Dragon Boat Festival commemorating?

In Memory of Qu Yuan
According to the "Biographies of Qu Yuan and Jia Yi" in "Records of the Grand Historian", Qu Yuan (about 339 BC - about 278 BC) was a native of Danyang (now Zigui, Yichang, Hubei) in the State of Chu during the late Warring States Period and a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
Qu Yuan, whose given name was Ping and whose courtesy name was Yuan, but actually his surname was "Mi", not "Qu".
According to legend, Qu Yuan advocated the selection of virtuous people and the empowerment of them, the enrichment of the country and the strengthening of the military, and strongly advocated the alliance between Qi and Qin. He was strongly opposed by aristocrats such as Zi Lan. Qu Yuan was slandered and resigned, and was expelled from the capital and exiled to the Yuan and Xiang River basins. During his exile, he wrote poems such as "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions" and "Nine Songs" which expressed his concern for the country and the people. In 278 BC, the Qin army conquered the capital of the Chu State. Qu Yuan was heartbroken to see his country being invaded, but he could not bear to abandon his country. 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 piece with his life.
After Qu Yuan jumped into the river, local people heard the news and immediately rowed boats to rescue him... In order to express their grief, people rowed boats on rivers and lakes, and this gradually developed into dragon boat racing. The people were afraid that the fish in the rivers would eat his body, so they went home and brought rice balls to throw into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from desecrating Qu Yuan's body. This later became the custom of eating rice balls.
In Memory of Wu Zixu
The second legend of the Dragon Boat Festival is that May 5th commemorates Wu Zixu from the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).
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 righteous 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. King Fuchai was furious when he heard this, and ordered Zixu's body to be taken, wrapped in leather and thrown into the river on May 5th. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate Wu Zixu.
In Memory of Filial Daughter Cao'e
The third legend of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the Eastern Han Dynasty (23-220 AD) filial piety daughter Cao'e who jumped into the river to save her father. Cao E was a native of Shangyu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Her father drowned in the river and his body was missing for several days. At that time, the filial daughter Cao E was only fourteen years old 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. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate the filial daughter Cao E.
In Memory of Jie Zitui
Jie Zitui is the protagonist of the legend of the origin of Cold Food Festival and Qingming Festival, but some people also believe that the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is related to Jie Zitui. According to Cai Yong's zither music work "Qin Cao" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the sage Jie Zitui.
