Dragon Boat history traced to 2,500 years ago in China
Dragon Boat racing is based on a legend of the ancient patriot-poet Qu Yuan who lived from 340-278 BC. He was a court minister who advocated reforms for his home state of Chu. The King of Chu, however, disliked him for it and banished him from the state.
