At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the area we now know as China had fallen into chaos, anarchy, and conflict. While the Zhou dynasty had ruled for several centuries, several other states, originally feudal domains, tried to carve out their own kingdoms. The state of Qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of China under one rule for the first time in history. Qu Yuan served as minister to the Zhou Emperor. A wise and articulate man, he was loved by the common people. He did much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the court—thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials. Therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the Qin Kingdom, the officials pressured the Emperor to have him removed from service. In exile, he traveled, taught and wrote for several years. Hearing that the Zhou had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the Milou River. His last poem reads: Many a heavy sigh I have in my despair, Grieving that I was born in such an unlucky time. I yoke date am of jade dragons to a phoenix chariot, And waited for the wind to come, to soar upon my journey.

Qu Yuan was an upright official who reportedly drowned himself in a river. During the Warring States Period (475–221 BC), he served the Chu State, which covered parts of modern Hunan and Hubei. People respected him for his honesty, loyalty, and wise advice, which helped bring stability and wealth to the nation. However, a corrupt noble slandered Qu Yuan, leading to his dismissal and shame. Seeing that his country was now controlled by dishonest men, Qu Yuan carried a large stone and jumped into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. Local fishermen tried to save him but failed to retrieve his body. Following his death, Chu weakened and was eventually defeated by the State of Qin.
