The Chinese Dragon Boat festival celebrates the death of Qu Yuan, a famous poet. He killed himself when his city fell, because he really loved his city. People really respected Qu Yuan, but they couldn't find his body, so they went out to sea and made Zong Zi, or rice wrapped in bamboo (it's quite tasty; I've tried it x33). The people threw it into the sea in the hope that the fish would eat them instead of Qu Yuan's body. This is repeated every year.
