Answer:

The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival for tribes who worshiped dragon totems in the ancient Baiyue area (the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the south of the Yangtze River) to hold totem sacrifices. Before the Spring and Autumn Period in Baiyue, there was a custom of holding tribal totem sacrifices in the form of dragon boat races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. .
