In Penang and Singapore, the Chinese community holds regattas in memory of the engaged poet Qu Yuan, who drowned in the 4th century.
This festival commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a poet who drowned around the 4th century to protest against corruption in China. Despite the fishermen's attempts to save him, he sank and drowned. Changed bahs (sticky rice and meat ravioli, all in a bamboo leaf) were thrown into the water to prevent fish from eating his body. Today, Chinese communities in Southeast Asia are organizing dragon-shaped bow boat races in his memory, particularly in Penang and Singapore.
