The Story of Qu Yuan's Suicide by Drowning

Qu Yuan was a famous poet and minister in ancient China. He was deeply devoted to his country and people. However, he became a victim of political intrigue and was exiled from his homeland. During his exile, he wrote many famous poems expressing his love for his country and his sadness at being separated from it.

One day, Qu Yuan received news that his homeland had been invaded by a neighboring state. Devastated by the news, he decided to show his loyalty and love for his country by committing suicide. He wrote one last poem, which is now known as 'Lament for Ying' and drowned himself in the Miluo River.

The people of his homeland were deeply moved by his sacrifice and began a tradition of throwing rice dumplings, called zongzi, into the river to feed the fish and prevent them from eating Qu Yuan's body. This tradition is still observed today during the annual Dragon Boat Festival.

屈原投江的故事

屈原是中国古代著名的诗人和政治家。他热爱国家和人民，但遭遇政治阴谋被流放。在流亡期间，他写下了许多著名的诗歌，表达了对国家的热爱和对离开家乡的悲伤。

有一天，屈原得知祖国被邻国入侵的消息，深受打击。他决定通过自杀来表达对国家的忠诚和爱。他写下了最后一首诗歌，现在被称为《离骚》，并投身于汨罗江中。

他的祖国人民深受他的牺牲感动，并开始了一项传统，将米粽扔进江里喂鱼，以防止它们吃掉屈原的身体。这个传统至今仍在每年的端午节上庆祝。
