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.

今天，是端午节。我的姥姥和姥爷来我家做客。姥姥跟我说：他们那家家户户都挂艾叶菖蒲，吃粽子，上山采青，食粽球，制粽。一大清早，我就跟着姥姥包了起来，首先拿出两片一大一小的粽叶，学着姥姥的样子折出一角，再在折好的角筒上放入一点已浸泡好的糯米，塞上一些红豆沙，又用糯米盖得严严实实的。我开始有点沾沾自喜了，心想：简单的包粽子根本难不住我。可是当我再把粽叶盖好时，糯米就像一个顽皮的孩子似的不听我的使唤，接二连三地都跳了出来。我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁团团转，幸好姥姥替我解了围把一些糯米弄掉一点，我才舒了一口气，心里的一块沉重的大石头放了下来。我经过了一些小挫折，总算到了最后的一个步骤扎棕绳。粽子要包扎严实才好吃，所以我接过棕绳，把粽子捆了一圈又一圈，这才交给姥姥。这时我才明白包粽子是门手艺活儿，包起来非常不容易。

I was like a cat on hot bricks today, fortunately, my grandma solution for me get some glutinous rice around a bit, I breathed a sigh of relief, the in the mind of a heavy piece of rock.

The Duanwu Festival， which is also called the Dragon Boat Festival， is an ancient Chinese traditional festival， celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. For thousands of years， various celebrating activities are held all around the country. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats are the most pertinent ones， which are said to be in memory of Qu Yuan， a great poet. In some places， people spread realgar wine on the children in the hope of protecting them from the evil spirits. Many people consider May as an especially dangerous time for diseases in a year， and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.
端午节，又称龙舟节，是中国古老的传统节日，在农历的五月初五这天庆祝。几千年来，全国各地都会举行多种多样的庆祝活动。最应景的就是吃粽子和赛龙舟，据说这是为了纪念伟大的古代诗人屈原。在有些地方，人们把雄黄酒涂抹在小孩的身上，希望这样可以使孩子们不受邪灵的伤害。许多人认为五月是一年中容易引发疾病的时节，因此为了驱疾避凶，讨个吉利，他们会在门口悬挂艾叶和菖蒲等。
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！
