The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, has had a history of more than 2,000 years. It is usually in June in the Gregorian calendar.
There are many legends about the evolution of the festival, the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China“s earliest poets. In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats headed by Zi Lan, and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament), Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Songs), which ha
d far-reaching influences. In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu“s capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar. After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves) and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body. An old doctor poured a jug of reaglar wine (Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar) into the water, hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk. That“s why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day.
Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination. Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan“s body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as China“s Chinese Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."
Zongzi is an essential food of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that people ate them in the Spring and Autumn Period (770--476 BC). In early times, it was only glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or other plant leaves and tied with colored thread, but now the fillings are more diversified, including jujube and bean paste, fresh meat, and ham and egg yolk. If time permits, people will soak glutinous rice, wash reed leaves and wrap up zongzi themselves. Otherwise, they will go to shops to buy whatever stuff they want. The custom of eating zongzi is now popular in North and South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian nations.
On Dragon Boat Festival, parents also need to dress their children up with a perfume pouch. They first sew little bags with colorful silk cloth, then fill the bags with perfumes or herbal medicines, and finally string them with silk threads. The perfume pouch will be hung around the neck or tied to the front of a garment as an ornament. They are said to be able to ward off evil.
Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the fifth day of May in the lunar calendar. A day before this festival, my mother and grandmother began to make zongzi. Of course, I would act as assistant. But it turned out that I was more of a hindrance than a help. When they finished, they started to cook them. This process needed a long time, because I could have them in the next day. Zongzi was very delicious. On the day of dragon boat festival, our family prepared for dinner after having breakfast. Everyone of my family will come back home for the solid diet. Chicken is indispensable on the dinner desk in Chinese traditional festival. There were many delicious foods, which made me watering. I ate lots of them. It is a wonderful festival.

端午节，又称端午节，是庆祝第五个月的第五天，根据中国的历法。人们总是吃粽子和赛龙舟来庆祝它。
这个节日最出名的是龙舟比赛，特别是在南方有许多河流和湖泊的地方。他很受欢迎。
粽子是由糯米、肉等做成的。你可以吃不同种类的粽子，它们很好吃，端午节是屈原的节日。他是一位诚实的部长，据说在河里淹死自己自杀了。
总的来说，端午节很有趣!
泱华夏，盛开着五十六朵民族之花。不同的地区、不同的民族，都有着自己独具特色的民风民俗。不一样的节日，不一样的穿着，不一样的食物，不一样的居民……在我们这个大中国里有许许多多的传统节日：有中秋节，端午节，重阳节，元宵节，清明节……在这么多的节日里我最喜欢的还是归“端午节”莫属。“端午”一个多么起眼的词语，它的大名家喻户晓，与它相关的传说更是无人不知，无人不晓。
关于端午节有许许多多的习俗：吃粽子，赛龙舟，插艾草……我最喜欢的当然还是吃粽子啦！
每年的五月初五是端午节。这一天早早的，大街小巷，家家户户都弥漫着清新的粽叶香。这一天人们要吃粽子，所以不论是商家店铺，还是寻常人家都早早泡好粽叶，备好黏米和馅料准备包粽子。这不，一大早粽子就似变魔术般被包好，煮熟了。这时心急的我望着冒着热气的粽子会吵着要吃，而爸爸会耐心地哄道：“先等一会儿，用凉水拔一下再吃吧。”终于可以吃了，我迫不及待地剥开粽叶，那好看的，黏黏的粽露了出来，咬一口真是香粽爽滑，三口两口吃掉后，我一般还要吃，谁让它这样香甜又可口呢！
在香甜可口的粽子后面有着一个家喻户晓的民间故事：相传在古时候，有一位爱国诗人，叫屈原。他有渊博的知识和杰出的才华。但当时朝廷因被贱人所挑拨，屈原被轻视，无人欣赏他的才华。不仅如此，当时朝廷腐败无能。屈原无法忍受朝廷的腐败，竟跳进汨罗江自尽了。他的故事被人一代代流传下去。于是人们为了纪念他，每逢五月五日端午佳节都包粽子投入江中，防止江里的鱼儿吃屈原的尸体。

Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival, often known as Tuen Ng Festival or Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar.
Dragon Boat festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan.
He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government.
People sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums.
Hence, toady we sail the dragon boats to celebrate this festival.

“五月五，是端阳。门插艾，香满堂。吃粽子，洒白糖。龙舟下水喜洋洋。”听到这首儿歌，就让我想起了端午节。每年五月初五，是我国传统的节日——端午节。
端午节要插艾枝，悬艾虎。端午节这天一早，人们将艾枝插在门上，或用艾蒿编织成“艾虎”，在门楣中央或带在身上，驱虫避邪，以保安康。
端午节要画门符。端午节这天，人们将蝎子、蜈蚣、毒蛇、蛤蟆、壁虎“五毒”形象的剪纸做门符。据说这样做，是为了驱“五毒”，防瘟疫。
端午节要带香包、系五彩丝线。香包是用棉制品和丝线绣的，包里除了装些雄黄、苍术外，还要装香草配成的香料，戴在身上起驱虫除秽的作用。五次丝线象征五色龙，系五色线可以降服妖魔鬼怪。
端午节要吃粽子。早晨，家家吃粽子纪念屈原。一般是前一天把粽子包好，夜间煮熟，早晨食用。包粽子主要是用河塘边盛产的嫩芦苇叶，也有用竹叶的，统称粽叶。粽子的传统形式为三角形，一般根据内瓤命名，包糯米的叫米粽，米中掺小豆的叫小豆粽，掺红枣的叫枣粽；枣粽谐音为“早中”，所以吃枣粽的最多，意在读书的孩子吃了可以早中状元。过去读书人参加科举考试的当天，早晨都要吃枣粽，至今中学、大学入学考试日的早晨，家长亦要做枣粽给考生吃。
赛龙舟，是端午节的主要习俗。相传起源于古时楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去，许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹。之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体。
端午节真是一个有趣的传统佳节！
"May 5th, it is the sun. The door is planted with ai, the incense is full. Eat zongzi, sprinkle white sugar. The dragon boat is in the water." Hearing this song, let me think of the Dragon Boat Festival. The fifth day of may is the traditional festival of the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is to stick ai branches, hang tiger. The Dragon Boat Festival the day early in the morning, people put on the door, YiZhi or woven with mugwort "dressed fitch," in the middle of the bar or in the body, insecticide, ward off evil spirits, in order to protect health.

The Dragon Boat Festival is to bring fragrant bags and confetti. The sachets are made of cotton and silk, and in addition to a few realgar and canopies, they are also made with herbs and spices, which can be worn with the help of the insect repellent. The five silk threads represent the five color dragon, which can be lowered into the evil spirits.
The Dragon Boat Festival is about eating zongzi. In the morning, every family eats zongzi commemorative qu yuan. It is usually the day before the dumplings are wrapped, cooked at night, and eaten in the morning. Bao zongzi is mainly made of tender reed leaves that are abundant in the river, and it is also useful for bamboo leaves. The traditional form of zongzi is a triangle, which is usually named after the inside, which is made of glutinous rice, which is made from rice, and is called the zongzi, which is mixed with beans. Date zongzi sounds like "early middle", so eat date zongzi the most, the child that is intended to read to eat can be early and middle of the top pick. The reader to participate in the imperial examination on the same day, in the morning to eat jujube reed, since middle school, the university entrance exam day morning, parents also need to do jujube reed for the examinee.
Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that the ancient people of the state of chu were forced to die in the river, and many people rowed to the rescue. They rushed to the lake and disappeared. The dragon boat is then on May 5 each year. Use the dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river, so as not to eat the body of qu yuan.
The Dragon Boat Festival is really an interesting traditional festival!
At the beginning of May each year five China is the most traditional festival, the Dragon Boat festival.
In the festival, we get up early in the morning. Suddenly, I heard a smell of fragrance. I ran over to see it. What a big pot of zongzi! How sweet it is! Greedy dead me! Look at the next pot, wow! There is also a big basin of snowy white duck eggs and garlic. It looks lovely and I want to eat. Mom said, "hurry up and wash your face and brush your teeth." After I washed, I sat around the table. Dad put rice dumplings, duck eggs, eggs and garlic on the table. Our family finished our breakfast happily and cheerfully.
Then I went to the vegetable market with my father and mother to buy rice field eel and amaranth, and I asked my mother why I want to buy these things. My mother said, "this is the custom of Dragon Boat Festival". I still don't understand, but nodded. Later, my mother took me to buy some green grass to go home. Give me a bath with wormwood soaked mother, I asked why the mother with wormwood bath? Mother said, "because this mosquito doesn't sting you." The mother and the rest of the ed in the door, I asked my mother why the wormwood are ed in the door? Mom said, "because this mosquito will not fly to our house."
After the bath, my mother told me that there was another name called "doll's Day" on the Dragon Boat Festival. At last, mom wore colorful knits on my hands. Today, I know a lot of knowledge about five sessions. I am so happy.
农历五月初五端午节，是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户都悬钟馗像，挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊。
端午节最早源于战国时期，当时有个叫屈原的楚国人，他在楚王身边做官，是一位忠臣。昏君楚王听信奸臣的话，把屈原削职流放。在流放中，屈原听说楚国的的都城被敌人占领，百姓遭难，悲愤极了。五月初五这一天，他来到汨罗江边，怀抱一块石头，以纵身跳入汨罗江中。出国的百姓听到屈原投江的消息，都十分悲痛。他们含着泪划着船赶来打捞屈原，还把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，希望鱼儿不要伤害屈原的身体。这就是五月端阳包粽子的来历。
而赛龙舟是楚人因为舍不得贤臣屈原死去，于是有许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹，是为龙舟竞渡之起源，后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。而粽子则是百姓不忍心忠臣被鱼虾吃食，故而将米饭等食品做成粽子投入江中，以求保屈原全尸。
小孩还要挂香囊的。端午节小孩佩香囊，不但有避邪驱瘟之意，而且有襟头点缀之风。香囊内有朱砂、雄黄、香药，外包以丝布，清香四溢，再以五色丝线弦扣成索，作各种不同形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目。
端午节还有挂艾叶、菖蒲的习惯：在端午节，家家都以菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形称为艾人。将艾叶悬于堂中，剪为虎形或剪彩为小虎，贴以艾叶，妇人争相佩戴，以僻邪驱瘴。用菖蒲作剑，插于门楣，有驱魔祛鬼之神效。
端午节的活动可真多呀，这是我们中华民族的传统节日，我们要好好的继承下来！

The annual Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and I am waiting for...
Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. In ancient times, the people of the state of chu were not allowed to condescend to the river, and many people rowed to the rescue. They rushed to the lake and disappeared. The dragon boat is then on May 5 each year. Use the dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river, so as not to eat the body of qu yuan.
We are going to eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a traditional custom of the Chinese people. Zongzi is officially designated as a food for the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, the raw material except glutinous rice zongzi, add Chinese traditional medicine fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae, boiled dumplings "puzzle in the reed meters doping, chestnut, jujube, red bean, etc., variety. Zongzi is also used as a gift.
The famous ai, mugwort. Its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oils. It produces strange aromas, repellent flies, insect ants, purifying the air. Calamus is a perennial aquatic herb with long, narrow leaves that also contain volatile aromatic oils, a drug that refrezes the mind, kills bones and kills insects
It is seen that the ancients had certain protection against disease. "Health day" in the Dragon Boat Festival is also a tradition since ancient times, people in this day cleaning the yard, hanging YiZhi, dangerous calamus, sprinkles realgar water, drink realgar wine, conserving IP turbidity, prevention of sterilization. These activities also reflect the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.
In the tang dynasty, the rice dumplings were "white and white," and the shape of the zongzi was conical and diamond shaped. Zongzi package material has been from wild rice leaf changes to reed leaves, then appeared in reed leaves package dumplings, additives have bean paste, pork, pine nuts, dates, walnut and so on, varieties more rich and colorful.
As of today, every year in early may, the Chinese people will soak glutinous rice, wash zongzi and make zongzi, and they will have more variety. From the filling, the Beijing date zongzi, which is covered in the north, is covered with jujube. In the south, there is a variety of fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat, ham and egg yolk, which is represented by jiaxing zongzi in zhejiang province.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double FifthFestival, is celebrated on May 5th on lunarcalendar.It is a folk festival widely spread with ahistory of over 2,000 years, and is one of the mostimportant Chinese festivals as well. There are variouscelebrating activities on that day, among which the customs of eating rice dumplings anddragon boat racing are quite important.There are many legends on the origin of the DragonBoat Festival.Some people think it is to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan, while others say it isto be in honour of Wu Zixu, a famous general during the Warring States period. However, thelegend of Qu Yuan spreads most widely. People appreciate highly the noble sentiment andprominent talent of this patriotic poet and are very sympathetic with the ending that hecommitted suicide by drowning himself in a river.
端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)，又称重五节，于每年农历五月初五庆祝。 这是广泛流传20xx多年的民间节日，也是中国最重要的节日之一。端午节当天举行各种庆祝活动，吃粽子和赛龙舟(dragon boat racing)是其中的重要习俗。关于端午节的起源，有很多传说。一部分人认为端午节是为了纪念诗人屈原，另一部分人则认为是为了纪念战国时期的著名将领伍子胥。然而，屈原的传说流传最广。人们非常欣赏这位爱国诗人的高尚情操和出众才华，更对他投江自尽的结局深表同情。
Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.
Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.
So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “It’s not like everybody’s doing it. That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”
Dragon Boat Festival 5th day of the 5th lunar monthQu Yuan
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous ricewrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats.
The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. This regattacommemorates the death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.Qu was a minister of the State of Chu situated in present-day Hunan and Hubei provinces, during the Warring States Period . He was upright, loyal and highly esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and prosperity to the state. However, when a dishonest and corrupt prince vilified Qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office. Realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and corrupt officials, Qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth month. Nearby fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to even recover his body. Thereafter, the state declined and was eventually conquered by the State of Qin.
The people of Chu who mourned the death of Qu threw rice into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the fifth month. But one year, the spirit of Qu appeared and told the mourners that a huge reptilein the river had stolen the rice. The spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it into the river.During the Duanwu Festival, a glutinous rice pudding called zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to Qu. Ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds, chestnuts, pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often added to the glutinous rice. The pudding is then wrapped with bamboo leaves, bound with a kind of raffia and boiled in salt water for hours.The dragon-boat races symbolize the many attempts to rescue and recover Qu's body. A typical dragon boat ranges from 50-100 feet in length, with a beam of about 5.5 feet, accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.
A wooden dragon head is attached at the bow, and a dragon tail at the stern. A banner hoisted on a pole is also fastened at the stern and the hull is decorated with red, green and blue scales edged in gold. In the center of the boat is a canopied shrine behind which the drummers, gong beaters and cymbalplayers are seated to set the pace for the paddlers. There are also men positioned at the bow to set off firecrackers, toss rice into the water and pretend to be looking for Qu. All of the noise and pageantry creates an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement for the participants and spectators alike. The races are held among different clans, villages and organizations, and the winners are awarded medals, banners, jugs of wine and festive meals.
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan, an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.
The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period, these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.
Besides, the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi （glutinous rice). Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.
With the changes of the times, the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past, it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness.

Today is the annual Dragon Boat Festival. Father and mother get up early and go out and buy a lot of food. I asked dad what the grass was, and dad said, "it's a flag." Father made a sword of calamus and put it on the eyebrow. The mother also adjusted the realgar wine to the wall corner, the chest side spray, say: "can antiseptic prevent disease!"
In the middle of the day, my mother cooked a hearty meal. There are chickens, ducks, meat, brown and bread cones, and so on. Mom and dad told me when we eat in the Dragon Boat Festival origin story: in a long time ago there was still the poet named qu yuan after miluo river, they package rice dumplings to commemorate him. I listened to the mystery and ate with relish.
How happy the Dragon Boat Festival is this year!
Our country has an ancient patriotic poet named Qu Yuan, he was exiled by the calumny, the inability to save the peril of the country, excessive anger, so Jiang himself voted to Health martyred. It is for him not to eat the bodies of fish and shrimp, one after another to the various pancake into the river, the water used to feed animals, and some ship off the water at the water beast. This has become now the Dragon Boat Festival, eating dumplings, fried cake, the origin of the draggon-boat race.
Having said that, I think of my family have been the scene of the Dragon Boat Festival. Grandmother pinch a different type of pancake, has florets, small, small starfish, is really different form. hurry to go shopping Kok, calmly took my father to buy tzu. A long row of teams, like a long queue, we managed to buy a tzu. We can see that every household have attached great importance to this holiday, people in this way to express their thoughts and reverence Yuan.
我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原，他遭谗言被放逐后，无力拯救危亡的国家，悲愤过度，于是投江自尽，以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体，纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中，用来喂饱水中的动物，有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节，吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。
说到这里，我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子，有小花，小人，小海星，真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角，爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队，好似一条长龙，我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出，家家户户都很重视这个节日，人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。

“粽子香，香厨房。艾草香，香满堂。桃枝插在大门上，出门一望麦儿黄。这儿端阳，那儿端阳，处处都端阳。”
这是奶奶在端午节时教我的歌谣。记得爸爸常跟我说起他童年的往事，在他的故事里，端午节对他是一个充满好奇而又充满期待的节日：在初夏那个节日的晚上，剥开一个粽子，满屋飘香，大家围在一起，小孩缠着大人讲那个熟悉但却百听不厌的故事：两千多年以前，古老的中国战火纷飞，在农历五月初五的那一天，有一位忧国忧民的爱国诗人看到自己的国家面临着亡国危运，而他心中的抱负却无法实现，他悲痛欲绝怀抱着石头投向波涛滚滚的汨罗江，他就是屈原；渔民划着船，四处寻找他们爱戴的屈原，他们为了让水中的鱼儿不吃掉屈原的身体，就把糯米裹在散发着清香的竹叶里，投到了江里……每当故事讲到这时，大人们总会指着天空说：“你看，天空中那颗最明亮的星星，就是屈原化成的。”而小孩子们便会抬起头遥望着那深邃的天空，寻找那颗最明亮的星星。
又到一年粽飘香，你是否对端午节有所期待呢？吃着粽子，是否能吃出粽子中的那段故事？遥望天空，隔着笼罩着的蒙蒙工业雾气，是否还能望得见天上那颗闪耀的星星？
高楼大厦平地而起，大片的麦田消失了，在城市的边缘，我们已经很难看见“出门一望麦儿黄”的景象了。是啊，时空的变换，端午节是否也在这钢筋水泥的挤压中越走越远呢？喧闹的城市，承载着人们太多的欲望，父辈们的欢乐，是否已淹没在城市的闪烁的霓虹灯中了呢？
我们已经不能理解父辈们少时的期待了，只要我想，随时都可以吃到各式各样的粽子，而粽子的味道似乎也越来也乏味，而我们感兴趣的是笑容可掬的麦当劳叔叔，那慈眉善目的肯德鸡爷爷；我们也对那古老的故事也缺乏兴趣了，只要我想，我随时可以在网上看米老鼠和唐老鸭！对奶奶教我的歌谣，我也觉得有些老土，只要我想，我随时可以在我的MP3播放器中录制各类摇滚歌曲！
然而，我们没有感到缺少了一些什么吗？我们似乎缺少了一些快乐，缺少了一些向往，缺少了一些责任。在喧闹中，我们正在迷失方向！
"Dumplings incense, incense kitchen. Ai grass incense, incense fertility. Peach sticks inserted in the door, looking out of wheat yellow. Duanyang here, there duanyang, everywhere duanyang."
This is the song grandma taught me during the Dragon Boat Festival. Remember father always told me about his childhood, in his story, the Dragon Boat Festival for he is a curious and expectant festival: in early summer the night of the festival, which opened a rice dumplings, house full of fragrance, you gather in together, kids pestering adults tell the story of the familiar can't get enough but: more than two thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese wars, in the day of the fifth lunar month, is a patriotic poet still see their country is faced with crisis of subjugation, and his heart ambition is not possible, grief at his arms for the stones into the miluo river waves roll, he was qu yuan; Fishermen rowing the boat, and search for their love of qu yuan, in order to let the fish in the water they don't eat qu yuan's body, the glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, faint scent, throw into the river... Every time the story is told, the grown-ups will point to the sky and say, "look, the brightest star in the sky is the one that qu yuan has turned into." And the children would look up at the deep sky and look for the brightest star.
After another year, do you have any expectations for the Dragon Boat Festival? Eating zongzi, can you eat the story in zongzi? Can you see the shining star in the sky?
From the ground up, large fields of wheat have disappeared, and on the edge of the city, it is hard to see the sight of "go out and see the yellow." Is it, the transformation of space and time, whether the Dragon Boat Festival is also in the squeeze of the concrete and steel the farther and farther away? The noisy cities, which carry too much of the appetite of the people, the joys of our fathers, have drowned in the flashing neon lights of the city?
We have already can't understand when fathers are looking forward to, as long as I want to, can eat to all kinds of dumplings, and the taste of zongzi also seems to be the more to also boring, and we are interested in is smiling McDonald's uncle, the personality of the KFC grandpa; We also have a lack of interest in that old story, as long as I think I can always watch Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on the Internet! I also think that some of the songs that my grandmother taught me were a bit old-fashioned, as long as I thought, I can always record rock songs in my MP3 player!
But don't we feel the lack of something? We seem to lack some happiness, lack of yearning, and a lack of responsibility. In the noise, we are getting lost!
端午节到了！大家都知道，端午节是为了纪念屈原吧，在这一天了，大家要吃粽子，看龙舟比赛。端午节这一天，我和妈妈到姥姥家去玩，正好妹妹也在。
来的时候已经到正午了，姥爷做好了饭，饭里除了有几个小菜以外，其他都是粽子：蜜枣馅的，菠萝馅的，肉馅的等等。妹妹皱起了眉头，吵吵嚷嚷地说要吃肯德基，撅起小嘴不吃饭。这时我用起了“唐僧”的本领，耐心的给他讲起了屈原的故事和端午节吃粽子的原因。听完之后他感动了，不在吵闹了，乖乖的吃起了粽子，妈妈用钦佩的眼神看着我。
吃完饭以后，我们都没睡觉，姥姥到开电视机看起了龙舟比赛！大家看的都很起劲，不时的为自己的“队友”加油，我和妹妹还赌起了哪个队会赢。整个大家庭笼罩在一个快乐的气氛里！
时间不知不觉的过去了，我们看电视足足看了3个小时！我和妈妈也该回去了，真有点恋恋不舍啊！
回到家，我躺在床，意犹未尽的仔细品味刚才的美好时光。这个端午节过的真快乐啊！
