There were stories of how dumpling was created and celebrate. It was once a Legend has it that a patriotic minister named Qu Yuan jumped into the Mi Luo River and committed suicide as a form of protest against the corrupted government. Because of this, boats were sent out in search of his body but failed, thus the origin of dragon boat race.

The villagers who had great respect for him started making rice dumplings (now evolved into bak chang) and threw into the river in order to keep the hungry fish away from his body.
