What is the story of the dragon boat festival? (closest answer WINS)
The story of this festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court. Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Chu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Chu Yuan, the local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons. Although they were unable to find Chu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.
这个节目的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官更屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官更，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝延中被皇帝所冷落。 由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投泪罗江自尽。由於对屈原的爱戴，泪罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈原，并且将米丢入泪罗江中，以平息泪罗江中的蛟龙。 即使他们当时并没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然被人们传颂纪念著。
