A little story about the Dragon Boat Festival

Here is the text for my YouTube video post on the Dragon Boat festival:

Qū yuán shì chǔ guó rén

屈  原  是  楚  国  人

Qu Yuan is from the State of Chu

Tā hěn yǒu cái gàn

他    很    有    才    干

He is a very competent person

Dàn shì tā de zhèng zhì xiǎng fǎ  bù bèi rèn  kě

但     是  他  的     政     治      想       法     不   被   认   可

But others does not approve of his politcal thoughts

Hòu lái chǔ guó wáng le 

后   来   楚    国     亡    了

Later on, the State of Chu was vanished (being taken over)

Qū yuán jué dé hěn tòng kǔ, jiù tóu jiāng le

屈    原     觉   得   很    痛   苦，就   投    江   了

Qu Yuan felt very hurtful, so that he throw himself into the river. 

Because Qu Yuan is a highly respectable person, after he died, people does not want his corpse to be eaten by fishes and shrimps, so they made pyramid-shaped dumplings, and throw them into the river to feed fishes and shrimps. This has then extended into a traditional festival called 端午节 duān wǔ jié the Dragon Boat festival. 端午 is the 5th day in Lunar Calendar, which is the day Qu Yuan jumped into the river.
