How Dragon Boat Racing Became a Global Tradition - The Untold Story of Chinese Dragon Boat Racing

The tradition of Chinese dragon boat racing is rooted in the story of Qu Yuan, a poet and statesman of the Warring States period. After his exile and tragic death in the Miluo River, villagers paddled their boats to search for him, a rescue effort that evolved into the Dragon Boat Festival. Held on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, this tradition has become a global sport while still honoring its origins of loyalty and remembrance. #UntoldLostStories #DragonBoatRacing #QuYuan #DragonBoatFestival #ChineseCulture #TraditionalFestivals #CulturalHeritage #WaterSports #AncientChina
