He haku mele ʻo Qu Yuan, ke kuhina o ka Mōʻī Chu Huai i ka wā puna a me ka Autumn.I ka makahiki 278 BC, ua lanakila ka pūʻali koa Qin i ke kapikala o Chu.Ua ʻike ʻo Qu Yuan ua hoʻouka ʻia kona ʻāina makuahine, a ua hou ʻia kona puʻuwai, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻomanawanui e haʻalele i kona ʻāina makuahine.Ma ka lā 5 o Mei, ma hope o ke kākau ʻana i kāna mele Swan "Nā Manaʻo Ma mua o ka Drowning", lele ʻo ia i lokoka muliwai Miluo a hiki i ka make, me kona ola ponoi Ua haku i ka hooikaika aloha aina nani.
