端午节吃粽子是为了纪念古代诗人屈原的。屈原一生写了许许多多的着名诗篇，提出过许许多多爱国政治主张，但是楚王不采纳。最后，楚国国土被侵占，屈原满怀忧愤，跳江自尽。人们为了纪念他，祭奠他，在每年的这一天，就把粽子和许多的好吃的投到江里，目的是不让鱼儿吃屈原的尸体。

People eat Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems, put forward many patriotic political views, but he does not accept. Finally, the land was occupied, Qu Yuan was indignant, jump into the river. In order to commemorate him, for he, on this day of the year, put the dumplings and a lot of good to Jiang Li, the purpose is not to let the fish eat Qus body.

端午节那天，我问妈妈粽子是怎么做的，妈妈说：“粽子是用翠绿、鲜嫩的芦苇叶包着雪白的糯米和蜜枣包的，如果没有蜜枣的话，可以用豆子等代替。熟它，需要煮一个晚上。煮熟以后，剥开变成墨绿色的芦苇叶，就可以看见洁白的糯米和枣团在里面，既好吃又甜，并且吃不腻。它既是开胃的美食，又是营养丰富的滋补品。

The day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I asked my mother how to do dumplings, mother said: "the dumplings are made of green, fresh white glutinous rice wrapped in reed leaves and prune packets, if not with words, can be replaced with beans. Well, it takes all night to cook. After cooked, peeled reed leaves into green, you can see the white glutinous rice and jujube group inside, both delicious and sweet, and do not eat greasy. It is not only an Food, is nutritious tonic.

端午节真快乐，真有趣!我又学到了知识，增长了见识。过端午节真好!

Happy Dragon Boat Festival really, really interesting! I learned knowledge, growth of knowledge. Dragon Boat Festival is really good!

Duanwu Festival is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, its commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qus body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boats prow(船头)。

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets Day," due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown(名声名望)。

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

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。

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.

随着时代的变化,纪念转向防止邪恶和疾病是一个时间的。人们会把健康的草药挂在前门清理房子的坏运气。虽然这个节日的意义可能与过去不同,它仍然使观察者看到的机会丰富的中国文化遗产的一部分。

亲爱的你：

你经常唠叨，早上，当我起床时，你会说：“快穿衣服，不然要感冒了。”吃晚饭的时候，你又说：“多吃点，不要挑食，现在是长身体的时候。”下午上学前，你又会说：“早点回来，不要贪玩。”下雨的时候，你会说：……，我已经习惯了她的唠叨，总是不以为然，不过，当每次不听她的唠叨，我自然就会得到惩罚。

小时候，我特别不爱吃青菜，于是，你对我说：“现在是长身体的时候，要多吃青菜。”说完，她就往我碗里放一大堆青菜，可是她刚一转身，我又把菜放回盘子中。因为不吃青菜小的时候经常感冒，后来在你的帮助下我改掉了这个坏毛病，你看我现在身体棒棒的!

还有一次，春天刚到，天气还不太暖和，我就惦记穿漂亮的裙子，你说：“现在还没有到穿裙子的时候，会感冒的。”我却习惯的说“不会吧，没那么严重。”可能是老天爷故意惩罚我，晚上我就开始打喷嚏，这时我才感到你说的话是正确的。

还有，早上不愿意起床，你唠叨着：“别磨蹭了，再不起来就要迟到了。”我已经习惯了她的唠叨，当然不以为然，最后吃亏的当然是我，因为睡懒觉而迟到我被老师狠狠的批评了一次!唉，真是不听老人言，吃亏在眼前啊!

几次失败教训后，我变乖了，看来老妈的话是对的，都是为我好啊!于是我把你的唠叨看成是一种爱的叮咛。在你的唠叨中我逐渐长大，懂得了很多道理，并养成了良好的生活和学习习惯。

我爱爱唠叨的你!

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

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 arent 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 holidays 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 Qus 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? “Its an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany. “Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like were doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess,” he says. “Something of an acquired taste. I just havent really acquired it yet.”

The dragon boat festival is a traditional chinese fastival.We hold the festival to remember the great poet Qu Yuan.He was a loyal minister of Chu,and ended his life in Miluo river after his country been destroyed by the enemy.

During dragon boat festival,we eat zongzi,which is a special dumpling made of rice and have some sweet stuffing in it.In many provinces,there would be a boating race,and many people would insert Amy on the door,in order to exorcise evil spirits and blessing for peace.Many children would wear a kind of special hand catenary,it made of five colors of cotton lines.It is believed that it can help the chilren become healther.

屈原是战国时期楚国很有学问的人了，他协助楚王，把自己的国家日益壮大。可是大功臣屈原好景不长，昏庸无能的楚王听信了奸臣的谣言，把屈原流放了。在流放期间，屈原听说不务朝政的楚王，连大部分领土被敌人占领了也没有去管，就连他们的国都要被占领了，他还是无动于衷，害得百姓遭殃，战争把百姓弄得民不聊生，屈原悲痛之极。五月初五那天，屈原来到汨罗江边，抱紧一块沉甸甸的大石头，纵身跳入了汨罗江里。百姓们听到这个消息后悲痛万分，含着泪水，划着竹舟在江上四处打捞屈原的尸体，有些人把包好的粽子投到江中，希望鱼儿不要把屈原的尸体吃掉。为什么五月初五要吃粽子，就是这样来的。

Qu Yuan is the Chu state during the Warring States period is a learned man, he helped his country, his growing. But the hero Qu Yuan, good times dont last long, incompetent King listen to these rumors, sent Qu Yuan into exile. In exile, Qu Yuan heard that no state of Chu, and even most of the territory was occupied by the enemy also did not go to the tube, even their country to be captured, he was completely indifferent, and the people suffer for it, the people get The people are destitute., Qu Yuan very sad. On the fifth day of May, Qu Yuan came to the Miluo River, holding a heavy stone, jumped into the Miluo river. The people heard the news after the grief, tears, rowing boat in the river salvage bamboo around the body of Qu Yuan, some people put the package dumplings into the river, the fish dont want Qu Yuans body. Why May festival to eat dumplings, is the way to the.

再来跟你们讲一讲赛龙舟的来历吧，话说屈原投汨罗江后，人们纷纷下江划着竹舟去打捞屈原的尸体。同时，这也可以来驱散鱼群，不要众多的鱼来吃屈原的尸体。

Come back to tell you about the origin of the dragon boat race, said after Qu Yuan Miluo River, people Xiajiang paddled bamboo boat to salvage the corpse of Qu Yuan. At the same time, it also can dispel fish, not many fish to eat Qus body.

现在我们小孩子都挂香囊，是因为香囊里由朱砂、雄黄和香药组成，再用丝巾把朱砂、雄黄和香药给包起来，最后用五色线把丝巾缝好。香囊不但可以来驱邪，而且制作花形多种多样，形形色色，芳香四溢。

every team is ready to go. With a burst of gunfire, each dragon boat flies

across the water like an arrow. The audience cheered and shouted, cheering and

encouraging for the contestants. The contestants listened with confidence and

strove hard to paddle, and the water splashed everywhere. Each dragon boat

chased after each other. At last, the laggard No. 1 finally caught up with the
