According to legend, Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, lived in poverty, and five people, including Jie Zitui, accompanied him to wander around the world 19 years. In the most difficult time, mesons pushed off their own meat to satisfy Zhong Er's hunger. After many hardships, he finally helped Zhong Er become the monarch of the State of Jin. At this time, Jiezitui chose to retire, resigned and took his mother to live in seclusion in Mianshan.

Jin Wengong couldn't find it anywhere, so he ordered the release of Yamakaji to force the meson to push the mother and son. But mesons would rather die than come out. Finally, it was found that both mother and son died holding a willow tree. Later, when people celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival, they put Yang Liuzhi in front of the door to commemorate Jietui.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival, originally founded by ancient ancestors, is a festival to worship the ancestors of dragons and pray for evil spirits. It is said that Qu Yuan, a Chu poet in the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th, and later generations also took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also sayings in memory of Wu Zixu, Cao E and meson push.

The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival covers the ancient astrological culture, humanistic philosophy and other aspects, and contains profound and rich cultural connotations. In the process of inheritance and development, a variety of folk customs blend with each other, and the content or details of customs are different due to different regional cultures.
