Today is a special day for Chinese people, it's the Dragon Boat Festival. It is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who lived under the Chu dynasty about 2100 years ago. Qu gave the emperor a lot of great suggestions to help him rule the country well. But, the emperor didn't want to accept his advice. The worst thing was that the emperor began to persecute Qu, because he believed in some rumours(UK)/rumors(US) from Qu's political opponents. Finally, Qu realized he didn't have any chances to achieve his political goals, he felt very sad and then jumped into a river and drowned. The people wanted to protect Qu's corpse, so they put Zongzi in the river to feed the fishes and make sure they won't eat the corpse. It's just a legend but from that story, we can see that Qu was a real hero in people's heart. Without surprises, Chu was finally eliminated by the Qin dynasty who unified all China a few years later.
