ORLANDO, Fla. – It’s an ancient Chinese tradition dating back more than 2,000 years.
The dragon boat festival is believed to have originated to honor the life and death of Chinese scholar and poet Qu Yuan. He is believed to have drowned himself in the Miluo River after he was exiled by the king in 278 B.C.
