01:44The first Chinese poet recorded in the history of Chinese literature is a poet named Quan.

01:51He lived from 340 BC to 278 BC. His name is Quan.

01:58This poet is behind this holiday that the Chinese celebrate.

02:04What is called Dragon Boat Festival?

02:06The story says that he lived in a kingdom called the Kingdom of Chu.

02:12He was a minister, a very well-known and famous poet, and he was a minister in that kingdom.

02:18It was a period called the Warring States period.

02:23Warring States Period

02:29There was a conflict between the kingdom in which he was a minister and another kingdom called the Kingdom of Tin.

02:36The whole era was the era of the Gu Dynasty or the Gu family dynasty.

02:46Joe Dynasty came after the Shang Dynasty era.

02:52After the Zhou Dynasty came the Tian Dynasty.

02:59There was a dispute between the Tian Dynasty or the Tian Kingdom and the Chu Kingdom, in which the Chinese poet lived.

03:08The poet was afraid of that other kingdom called the Kingdom of Tin.

03:17The king warned the Chu kingdom about that kingdom called Tien.

03:23And he warned him not to be afraid of those who approach him.

03:29But there were some envious people who incited the king against the poet Chuan.

03:35Indeed, the king dismissed the poet and exiled him.

03:40The poet Chuan felt very sad.

03:44And indeed his feeling was true, and the Kingdom of Tian invaded his country, the Kingdom of Chu.

03:54And she arrested the king and imprisoned him until he died in prison.

03:59The poet felt very sad and decided to commit suicide.

04:05He took his boat to a river called Melotiam and drank wine until he got drunk.

04:15Then he threw himself into this river, committing suicide.

04:20Melotiam

04:21There are some sayings that mean he did not commit suicide.

04:27But after he got drunk, he lost his balance and fell into the fire.

04:33Whatever the story

04:35The accepted story is that he committed suicide.

04:37Okie committed suicide out of grief over the loss of his country.

04:42The people of his village after hearing the news of his fall into the fire

04:48Let's use this word after he reported his fall into the fire.

04:52They went to the river to save him because he was a beloved poet and a beloved character.

04:59So they looked for him, of course. They got on their boats and started looking for him in the river, but they did not find him.

05:07They tried to distract the fish from eating his body.

05:16They tried to feed the fish, so they started throwing rice into the river.

05:22They eat sticky rice with rice.

05:26Sticky rice to feed the fish so that the fish will be full and not eat the carcass

05:32But they did not find his body either, so a Chinese doctor poured some kind of alcohol.

05:41This sticky rice is called tonto.

05:45What visitors still eat is sticky rice wrapped in plant leaves.

05:52The rice itself is stuffed with some vegetables, a little meat, pistachios, or anything else.

06:05I tried eating it once and I didn't know it tasted sticky.

06:12I honestly didn't know how to taste it

06:15For the Chinese, it is a delicious food.

06:18He ate it

06:20The important thing is that the Chinese doctor Dot Ji poured it into the river.

06:25A type of wine called Shunkhuntu

06:29Shunkhuntio Dot

06:32In English his name is Realgarwin

06:36It is a type of wine extracted from stone.

06:41His name is arsenic

06:44stone or arsenic mineral

06:47The stone itself is reddish in color.

06:49After extracting the wine from it, the wine itself is yellow with a reddish color.

06:55So this doctor poured that wine into the river in order to poison the fish.

07:04So as not to eat a corpse

07:06Legend has it that a dragon came out of the river.

07:11He was carrying the poet's clothes.

07:14Indicating that he had devoured the poet

07:18The villagers killed the dragon.

07:22This occasion is celebrated by the Chinese every year on the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

07:33In the lunar calendar

07:35How do they celebrate by going down the river in boats?

07:38The boat itself is shaped like a dragon.

07:40They hold celebrations in the form of a boat racing competition.

07:46There are people in the entire boat, for example, there are more than ten or maybe twenty contestants.

07:54They row and some people beat the drums

07:58They also beat drums to scare the fish.

08:03Fish catchers are running away

08:05They celebrate by cursing

08:09And by eating this rice called tont

08:12This sticky rice is called tont.

08:15And drinking a wine called Chungwangju

08:20They hang some plants outside the house on the door to attract spirits.

08:27The evil one

08:29This holiday is an official holiday every year on the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

08:39But I wanted to share with you the cultural background and the real story behind China's celebration of this holiday.
