端午节是一个非常经典的传统节日，自古以来就一直被人们所庆祝。首先，是为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原，屈原跳入水自杀，以此来表达了对这个国家的爱。如今，不同的地方有不同的庆祝方式。
In my hometown, there will be a traditional competition, that is the dragonboat race. People make up the team and fight for the honor. Every boat lookslike the dragon and it is the most obvious feature. A lot of people will come tovisit or watch the match. Then the game begins. The audience will cheer for theteams and the competitors try their best to make the boat go fast. It is verylively.
在我的家乡，会有一场传统的龙舟比赛。人们组成不同的团队，为荣誉而战。每条船看起来都像是一条龙，这是最明显的特征。许多人会来参观或观看比赛。然后比赛开始厚，观众就会为队伍加油，选手们尽最大努力让船快点开。气氛非常热闹。
Besides the competition, eating the traditional food zongzi is favored byeveryone. For me, it is very delicious. My grandma makes the best zongzi. Shehas the special recipe and it fits my stomach. So every time I go back hometown,my grandma will make it for me.
除了比赛之外，吃粽子的传统也深受大家喜爱。对我来说，粽子非常美味。我奶奶做的粽子是最好吃的，她有特别的制作方法，非常符合我的胃口。所以每次我回到家乡，奶奶都会给我做粽子。
In other places, drinking the special wine and hanging the leaf are alsothe tradition. The preserve of the traditional festival makes our cultureprofound.
在其他地方，喝特殊的酒和挂艾叶也是传统。传统节日的保留使我们的文化博大精深。

小时候，总听妈妈给我讲屈原因为楚平王而投汨罗江，从此便有了端午节，我也似懂非懂地知道了：原来端午节是由屈原而产生的。
When I was a child, my mother told me to listen to Qu Yuan because ChupingWang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguelyknow that the Dragon Boat Festival was produced by Qu Yuan.
相传屈原是一个爱国诗人，投江后，汨罗江畔的百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原的尸体，因此有了赛龙舟的习俗;百姓们把饭团等投入江中，因此有了吃棕子的习俗，百姓们把兄雄黄酒倒入江中，因此有了喝雄黄酒的习俗。
Legend has it that Qu Yuan is a patriotic poet, Jiang River, Miluo peoplehave to recover Qu Yuan's body, so there is the custom of the dragon boat race;people have the balls and into the river, so there is the custom of eatingzongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drinkrealgar wine the custom.
记得前不久，我还了南湖边，看龙舟竞渡，那儿人山人海，一派热闹的景象，南湖边上围满了人，不用说他们就是来看龙舟竞赛的，只见不远处湖面上，停泊着大大小小的的龙舟，龙舟选手们严阵以待，不过一会儿就上了各自的龙舟，他们一个个精神抖擞，似乎真的是要打捞屈原。一眨眼的工夫，他们就开始了，随着“嘿咻嘿咻”的口号声。他们有节奏地划起龙舟，这使我不禁想象起了当时百姓们纷纷去打捞屈原时的情景……
I remember not long ago, I also see the South Lake, dragon boat races,there are huge crowds of people, a lively scene, South Lake surrounded withpeople, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lakepark, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon onthe boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In ablink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to drawfrom the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrievehis time......
The Dragon Boat Festival is coming. Do you know the origin ofthe Dragon Boat Festival? Let me introduce you.
The Dragon Boat Festival is the oldest traditional festival that started inthe spring and autumn period and the warring states period in China, this dayindispensable activity gradually evolved into: eating zongzi, dragon boatracing, hanging calamus and moxa leaf, smoked rhizoma atractylodis, radixangelicae, drink realgar wine. It is said that eating zongzi and racing dragonboat are to commemorate qu yuan, so after liberation, the Dragon Boat Festivalwas named "poets day" to commemorate qu yuan. As for hanging calamus, mugwort,smoky, angelica, drinking realgar wine, it is said to be to crush evil spirits.Although the Dragon Boat Festival is over every year, the origin of the DragonBoat Festival is not very clear.
Wish Dragon Boat Festival to come quickly, can eat fragrant ricedumplings!
端午节要到了，你知道端午节的'由来吗?让我来为大家介绍一下吧。
端午节是古老的传统节日，始于中国的春秋战国时期，这一天必不可少的活动逐渐演变为：吃粽子，赛龙舟，挂菖蒲、艾叶，熏苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒。据说，吃粽子和赛龙舟，是为了纪念屈原，所以解放后曾把端午节定名为“诗人节”，以纪念屈原。至于挂菖蒲、艾叶，熏苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒，则据说是为了压邪。尽管端午节年年过，端午节的来历，却不甚清楚，归纳起来，大致有以上诸说。
真希望端午节快点来到，就可以吃到香喷喷的粽子了!
Every year The Mid-Autumn Festival in August 15 at this time the people allwant to eat the moon cake, to enjoy looking at the moon, the moom is verybeautiful.
This Festival is also a family holiday .and we are also stay together.Thefamily member are happy, because that day moon is roundest.but the most happything is we can get together .Also has many wonderful stories about midautumnfestival‘s moon, is having these expectation, Midautumn Festival, We alsoenjoyed looking at the moon this year.
That is the Mid-Autumn Day in my mind. I will always re-member: East orWest, home is best.
The Dragon Boat Festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of thelunar calendar(阴历). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinesefestivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.
The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinesescholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before thebirth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period. Asa loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respectof his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he wasdiscredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).
Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperor's favor and on the fifthday of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, ChuYuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江) in theHunan Province(湖南省).
Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people wholived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search forhim. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festivalcommemorates every year.
Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is theracing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the people's attemptto save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperationand teamwork.
Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind ofdumpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was goneforever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water asa sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶),and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages,nuts, and/or vegetables.
To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon BoatFestival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is apestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. Children born in this monthare said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate theirefforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills andmisfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time whencleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲)and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventiveagainst pestilence.
Ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the foodeaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote ahealthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedlyrelieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.
The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children andthey vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are notthe only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as asymbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) andbeautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them.
The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It givesthe observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese culturalheritage.
