The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, when is the Dragon Boat Festival in 2019?

The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, the Double Fifth Festival, the Mid-day Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Zhengyang Festival, the Orchid Bathing Festival, the Tianzhong Festival, etc., is a traditional Chinese folk festival.
The word "Dragon Boat Festival" first appeared in "Fengtu Ji" of the Western Jin Dynasty: "The Dragon Boat Festival in midsummer is on May 5th. People attach great importance to this day, which is the same as the summer solstice." "Duan" in ancient Chinese means beginning or the beginning, so "Duanwu" is also called "the fifth day of the fifth month."
The Dragon Boat Festival originated in China. Originally, it was a festival in which ancient people worshipped the dragon ancestor by holding dragon boat races. Because Qu Yuan, a poet from the Chu State in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River with a rock on the Dragon Boat Festival, people later also regard the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan; in some places, there is also a saying that it is to commemorate Wu Zixu, Cao E and Jie Zitui.
Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the dragon totem worship, which was infused with the summer seasonal "disease prevention and epidemic prevention" fashion. The view of the Dragon Boat Festival as an "evil month and evil day" started in the north. In addition, historical figures such as Qu Yuan enriched the content of the Dragon Boat Festival, which finally formed the cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival today.
