Hello, everyone. Do you know when the Dragon Boat Festival is     1    ? It’s celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of Chinese calendar. The day is celebrated to commemorate QuYuan, a great scholar and poet of     2    . In 278 B C, learning of the capture of his country’s capital, QuYuan drowned himself in the Miluo River. Villagers then carried their dumplings and boats to the middle of the river and desperately tried     3     him, but were unsuccessful. They beat drums to scare the fish away from his body and they threw rice into the river to     4     to Qu Yuan and to keep the fish away. The act of racing to search for his body in boats gradually became the cultural tradition of the dragon boat racing, which is     5     on the anniversary of his death every year.
