whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and can’t see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating “Zong Zi”. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldn’t buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didn’t make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentine’s day, April Fool’s Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, it’s the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witch’s Day in Czech. People burned the witch’s puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but I’d like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, it’s really a big project. Then I’ll hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I can’t finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive it’s a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season.

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人，我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市，虽然我的城市在附近的海，它已经建立了一个U端口，我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃“Zong Zi”的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了Zong Zi。因为没有超市，我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而，现在，我们可以买任何东西在超市，所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中，年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日，如圣诞节、Saint Valentine节、四月的愚人节，也有些人在教堂庆祝复活节。说起端午节，它和一些国外的传统节日一样，比如捷克的女巫节。人们焚烧女巫的木偶以欢迎春天的到来。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日，因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然，外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定，端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山，这些旅游景点都在福建省，这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里装饰我的画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，这是一个非常大的项目。然后我会把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始，否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为这一点很难吸引他们，在这样一个炎热的季节。

农历五月初五，是家乡最有特色的日子—端午节。端午节是为纪念伟大诗人屈原所设定的节日。每年端午节这一天，我们家家户户都会包粽子，粽子有各种各样的：有四角的、有三角的、有长方的……味道有咸粽子甜粽子两种。甜粽子有莲容、豆沙、枣泥等口味;咸粽的呢，有咸肉、蛋黄、绿豆等口味。还有两种特别的粽子：财粽和喜粽，谁吃了财粽象征着他今年会发大财，喜粽吃了象征着喜事连连。包好的粽子放在一个锅里煮，等粽子熟了以后，就闻到淡淡的竹叶香，四溢的清香弥漫着整个乡村……

解开扎藤，剥开粽子叶，甜粽子里红红的粽肉，咸粽子里白白的粽肉升腾着热气，散发着一种特有的粽香。糯米在太阳光下晶莹透亮，散发着撩人的浓郁糯米香，真是棒极了!我的眼睛紧盯着那两种特别的粽子，没等妈妈分好粽子，眼尖的我一眼就看中了财粽子，刚想解开，脑子里闪过爸爸为我们一家的幸福生活所付出的辛劳，于是悄悄地把它放到了爸爸的碗里。喜粽呢，自然也让我弄到妈妈的碗里，可精明的妈妈瞧出了我的鬼点子，又把它弄到奶奶的碗里。奶奶一边吃着粽子，一边无限憾慨地说：“这就是我三十年前梦想的生活啊!可惜你们的爷爷享受不了。”我接过奶奶的话茬说：“奶奶，今后我们的生活会更美好。你要健康长寿，幸福安享晚年。”“哈哈哈”，屋子里充满了愉快的笑声。

家乡的端午节，给了我许多喜悦和欢乐!端午粽子飘香，家乡亲情尽现，端午节流露出的地地道道的故乡是一种古老的传统，在这一天，家家户户总要给亲戚朋友送上一大包粽子。因此，在端午节那天，我家总有好多外婆，姨妈家带来的粽子，吃着正宗的家乡粽子，享受着亲人的关爱，我的心里头别有一番滋味。

每逢端午，海南各处都会如中原一般举办龙舟竞渡等活动。

在如今保存最为完好的古县治城垣定安，五百年历史的明成化古城门洞内，仍有两个石阶叠架着两条鲜艳、修长、昂扬的龙舟。海岛先人，端午时节，扛起龙舟，奔向大河，挥汗于南渡江中竞渡……历史就从一个个古色端午，时光交错着流淌到了今朝。素有“椰乡”之称的文昌，是宋庆龄的祖居地，临海傍河。自古以来，当地沿海沿河居民每逢端午，都会举办赛龙舟的活动，祈福求安。

海南除了与内地相同的赛龙舟、吃粽子、挂菖蒲和艾草，还有一个海岛百姓都熟知的内容，就是洗龙水和洗草药澡。

端午节到了，早在端午节的前一天，妈妈就包好了粽子，让我和哥哥可以在端午节的这天吃粽子。

我看见粽子的外形像一个金字塔，外皮包裹着绿色的竹叶，上面还缠绕着白线。里面的馅儿各种各样，有糯米的、豆沙的、和咸肉的等等。

我们边吃粽子，哥哥边给我讲了粽子的来历。他说：“屈原这位爱国志士当年蒙屈含冤，抱着石头，跳进了汨罗江。当地的百姓为了不让龙和鱼虾伤害他的尸体，所以用竹叶把糯米卷起来扔进江里。后来慢慢的就形成了包粽子和赛龙船的习俗。

我想，怪不得毛泽东主席用一首诗高度的赞扬了屈原。我记得那首诗是这样写的“屈子当年赋楚骚，手中握有杀人刀，艾萧太盛椒兰少，一跃冲向万里涛。”

我觉得这真是一个有意义的端午节，我不仅吃到好吃的粽子，还知道了端午节的来历。

范文二：文明旅游

有些旅游景点的文物景观遭到了严重的破坏，致使最近文明旅游的倡议越来越受重视，因此就“游客可付费在仿造长城上涂写留言”发表看法。

内容包括：(1)谈谈对某些人喜欢在旅游景点随便涂鸦留言的看法;

(2)对专门修一段仿造城墙让游客付高价留言的做法你是赞成还是反对，并简要陈述你的理由。

It is reported that tourists to China’s Great Wall can now leave their mark on a fake(伪造的) wall recently built near the real wall in Badaling if they pay 999 yuan.

In China, many visitors have the hobby of carving graffiti on places of interest, especially on some famous cultural relics. Last year I went to the Great Wall and found many people had left names and ugly words on the Wall, which destroys many historic bricks. In my opinion, such people should feel ashamed of leaving their marks on the great relics which were created by our ancestors.

So personally, I quite agree with this brilliant project though it has caused criticism from some people. The Great Wall would be ruined one day if we didn’t take any steps to protect it. The fake wall is a really good idea because it will protect our relics as well as making profits from the project

“五月五，是端午，插艾叶。带香囊，吃粽子，撒白糖，龙船下水喜洋洋”。我一边哼着儿歌一边情不自禁地想起一位伟大的爱国诗人——屈原，传说中粽子的来历就是为了纪念这位伟人的。

在我们的家乡，到了过端午节的这一天，即5月5的早上，各家要吃煮鸡蛋和鸭蛋，鸡蛋和鸭蛋放在锅里和粽子一块煮!经过放了粽叶的水一煮，鸡蛋和鸭蛋都会变成另外一种颜色，煞是好看!更有一股特别的粽叶清香!在吃早饭时，这些蛋、粽子，都要摆上饭桌，同时在饭桌上，还要摆一小壶酒，奶奶还特意在酒里加了一点雄黄，她说这是为了避邪!这不能不说也是咱家乡的一种特色呢!

吃粽子容易包粽子难，看着大人们包粽子的熟练动作，我真是羡慕呀，最值得期待的就是等粽子熟的过程了，等待的时间总是很漫长，看到热气腾腾的粽子终于出锅时，满屋子粽子的香气，馋得我直流口水。放在碗里，轻轻剥开，就可以看到里面晶莹，透亮、松软的“粽肉”了，咬一口，美味无穷，我差点一口连筷子都咬下来了。

值得一提的是，在端午节这天早上，各家还要把艾叶插在门的两天，老人们都说这样是为了驱病避邪。给这样一个早晨增添了浓浓的特有的节日气氛……

家乡的端午节真是太美好了，我永远也忘不了!

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：

Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is sometimes called the "Lunar New Year" by English speakers. The festival traditionally begins on the first day of the first month (Chinese: 正月; pinyin: zhēng yuè) in the Chinese calendar and ends on the 15th; this day is called Lantern Festival. Chinese New Years Eve is known as chú xī. It literally means "Year-pass Eve".

Chinese New Year is the longest and most important festivity in the Lunar Calendar. The origin of Chinese New Year is itself centuries old and gains significance because of several myths and traditions. Ancient Chinese New Year is a reflection on how the people behaved and what they believed in the most.

Celebrated in areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese, Chinese New Year is considered a major holiday for the Chinese and has had influence on the new year celebrations of its geographic neighbors, as well as cultures with whom the Chinese have had extensive interaction. These include Koreans (Seollal), Tibetans and Bhutanese (Losar), Mongolians (Tsagaan Sar), Vietnamese (T?t), and formerly the Japanese before 1873 (Oshogatsu). Outside of Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, Chinese New Year is also celebrated in countries with significant Han Chinese populations, such as Singapore, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. In countries such as Australia, Canada and the United States, although Chinese New Year is not an official holiday, many ethnic Chinese hold large celebrations and Australia Post, Canada Post, and the US Postal Service issues New Years themed stamps.

Within China, regional customs and traditions concerning the celebration of the Chinese new year vary widely. People will pour out their money to buy presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing. It is also the tradition that every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes to make way for good incoming luck. Windows and doors will be decorated

with red colour paper-cuts and couplets with popular themes of “happiness”, “wealth”, and “longevity”. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a feast with families. Food will include such items as pigs, ducks, chicken and sweet delicacies. The family will end the night with firecrackers. Early the next morning, children will greet their parents by wishing them a healthy and happy new year, and receive money in red paper envelopes. The Chinese New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Although the Chinese calendar traditionally does not use continuously numbered years, outside China its years are often numbered from the reign of Huangdi. But at least three different years numbered 1 are now used by various scholars, making the year 2009 "Chinese Year" 4707, 4706, or 4646.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：春节正月习俗的英文介绍

The Chinese New Year celebrations are marked by visits to kin, relatives and friends, a practice known as "new-year visits" (Chinese: 拜年; pinyin: bài nián). New clothes are usually worn to signify a new year. The colour red is liberally used in all decorations. Red packets are given to juniors and children by the married and elders. See Symbolism below for more explanation.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Preceding days 春节前

This article does not cite any references or sources.

Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (January 2010)

On the days before the New Year celebration Chinese families give their home a thorough cleaning. There is a Cantonese saying "Wash away the dirt on ninyabaat" (年廿八，洗邋遢), but the practice is not usually restricted on ninyabaat (年廿八, the 28th day of month 12). It is believed the cleaning sweeps away the bad luck of the preceding year and makes their homes ready for good luck. Brooms and dust pans are put away on the first day so that luck cannot be swept away. Some people give their homes, doors and window-frames a new coat of red paint. homes are often decorated with paper cutouts of Chinese auspicious phrases and couplets. Purchasing new clothing, shoes, and receiving a hair-cut also symbolize a fresh start.

In many households where Buddhism or Taoism is prevalent, home altars and statues are cleaned thoroughly, and altars that were adorned with decorations from the previous year are also taken down and burned a week before the new year starts, and replaced with new decorations. Taoists (and Buddhists to a lesser extent) will also "send gods" (送神), an example would be burning a paper effigy of Zao Jun the Kitchen God, the recorder of family functions. This is done so that the Kitchen God can report to the Jade Emperor of the family households transgressions and good

deeds. Families often offer sweet foods (such as candy) in order to "bribe" the deities into reporting good things about the family.

The biggest event of any Chinese New Years Eve is the dinner every family will have. A dish consisting of fish will appear on the tables of Chinese families. It is for display for the New Years Eve dinner. This meal is comparable to Christmas dinner in the West. In northern China, it is customary to make dumplings (jiaozi 饺子) after dinner and have it around midnight. Dumplings symbolize wealth because their shape is like a Chinese tael. By contrast, in the South, it is customary to make a new year cake (Niangao, 年糕) after dinner and send pieces of it as gifts to relatives and friends in the coming days of the new year. Niangao literally means increasingly prosperous year in year out. After the dinner, some families go to local temples, hours before the new year begins to pray for a prosperous new year by lighting the first incense of the year; however in modern practice, many households hold parties and even hold a countdown to the new lunar year. Beginning in the 1980s, the CCTV New Years Gala was broadcast four hours before the start of the New Year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：First day 初一

The first day is for the welcoming of the deities of the heavens and earth, officially beginning at midnight. Many people, especially Buddhists, abstain from meat consumption on the first day because it is believed that this will ensure longevity for them. Some consider lighting fires and using knives to be bad luck on New Years Day, so all food to be consumed is cooked the day before. For Buddhists, the first day is also the birthday of Maitreya Bodhisattva (better known as the more familiar Budai Luohan), the Buddha-to-be. People also abstain from killing animals.

Most importantly, the first day of Chinese New Year is a time when families visit the oldest and most senior members of their extended family, usually their parents, grandparents or great-grandparents.

Some families may invite a lion dance troupe as a symbolic ritual to usher in the Lunar New Year as well as to evict bad spirits from the premises. Members of the family who are married also give red packets containing cash to junior members of the family, mostly children and teenagers.

While fireworks and firecrackers are traditionally very popular, some regions have banned them due to concerns over fire hazards, which have resulted in increased number of fires around New Years and challenged municipal fire departments work capacity. For this reason, various city governments (e.g., Hong Kong, and Beijing, for a number of years) issued bans over fireworks and

firecrackers in certain premises of the city. As a substitute, large-scale fireworks have been launched by governments in cities like Hong Kong to offer citizens the experience.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Second day 初二

families frequently.

Business people of the Cantonese dialect group will hold a Hoi Nin prayer to start their business on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year. The prayer is done to pray that they will be blessed with good luck and prosperity in their business for the year.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Third and fourth days 初三

The third and fourth day of the Chinese New Year are generally accepted as inappropriate days to visit relatives and friends due to the following schools of thought. People may subscribe to one or both thoughts.

1) It is known as "chì kǒu" (赤口), meaning that it is easy to get into arguments. It is suggested that the cause could be the fried food and visiting during the first two days of the New Year celebration.[citation needed]

2) Families who had an immediate kin deceased in the past 3 years will not go house-visiting as a form of respect to the dead, but people may visit them on this day. Some people then conclude that it is inauspicious to do any house visiting at all. The third day of the New Year is allocated to grave-visiting instead.

春节习俗英语作文- 用英语介绍春节习俗：Fifth day 初五

端午节有很多名字。比如：端阳节、赛诗节、重五节等等。

端午节有很多风俗，似吃粽子、赛龙舟、戴五丝线、吃“五黄”等。

我听家长说，端午节还有一个故事呢。楚国时期，当时正是五月初五，屈原因受冤枉，抱着石头跳进了汨罗江。当地百姓听到这个消息后，划船去搭救，可是打捞了半天都没捞到。他们怕鱼虾吃了屈原的尸体，就在汨罗江上划龙船、丢粽子，引开鱼虾。

[考研英语作文词汇及素材【人生哲理类】

端午节是我国的传统节日，进入农历五月，家乡便拉开了端午节的序幕。五月初五的早上，家家户户都开始忙碌起来，除了做各式各样的香包之外，还包品种繁多的粽子。

妈妈最会包粽子了。包的粽子有咸有甜，有荤有素，还有桂圆馅儿的、五香味儿的，等等。我对肉粽子不感兴趣，却对素粽子情有独钟，里面不仅有大大的枣子，还有花生和芝麻。妈妈包的粽子总是大大的，糯米的浓香里裹着甜甜的枣子，那真叫一吃一个爽!咬一口，含在嘴里慢慢地嚼一嚼，真是越嚼越香!

说起端午节，不得不说屈原。汨罗江边，屈原大夫的内心充满无奈。楚怀王昏庸无能，屈原眼睁睁看着国土被侵略，大好河山毁于一旦，他感到昔日的楚国不复存在，于是绝望地在汨罗江边轻轻一跃，就此殉国。人们为了纪念屈原，荡舟江河上，此后逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。百姓们担心鱼虾会吃掉屈原的身体，纷纷将米团投入水中，后来就演变成了吃粽子的习俗。

家乡的端午节还有许多有趣的活动，如赛龙舟、饮雄黄酒、吃煮鸡蛋和在家门前插菖蒲等，真是不胜枚举，乐趣无穷。

年年都有端午节，我对端午节的感受也随着年龄的增长，每年都不同。

六月六日是端午节，我们放假了一天。我去奶奶家吃粽子，奶奶包的粽子有肉馅、蜜枣陷、豆沙馅，都是我爱吃的。在我吃粽子的时候，我心里想：粽子是怎么做的？吃完后我就问奶奶：“粽子是怎么做的？”奶奶说：“我来教你，先把三片粽叶并齐折好，再将泡好的糯米放进去，中间填上陷，然后再放一些糯米，填满后将粽叶折过去包成三角形，用绳子缠好系住，放进锅里煮六到八个小时就熟了。”听奶奶讲完以后，我觉得粽子吃起来很香，没想到做起来这么麻烦。奶奶太辛苦了。我告诉奶奶，等我长大以后，我和你一起包粽子。奶奶听了以后，开心地笑了。

说到端午节，大家一定不会感到很陌生，唐代大诗人殷尧潘的一句：“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原”早就成了脍炙人口的千古佳句。

端午节又称重午节、端阳节。它与春节、中秋节并称为中华三大节日，端午节最早起源于农历五月五日。关于端午节的起源，各地说法不一。有说是为了纪念屈原，于是，热爱屈原的人们不愿让鱼虾吃掉起源的尸体，为了让屈原安息，就往江里投了许多食物。还有说是，源于古代百越地区对龙图腾的崇拜与信仰。于是，在五月五日包粽子、赛龙舟就渐渐成了当时古人们的习俗，这样的习俗就被一代一代的人们传承了下去，也就成立我们所说的端午节。

端午节为什么要包粽子呢？这是因为《初学记》中有这样的记载：汉代建武年间，长沙人晚间梦见一人，自称是屈原的好朋友，对他说：“你们祭祀的东西都被江中的蛟龙给偷去了，以后可用艾叶包住，用五色绳捆好，蛟龙最怕这两样东西。”于是，人们便按照那位朋友的方法去做，世代相传，逐渐发展成为我国端午节的食品。

每逢端午佳节，子女们都会带着老人们、朋友们共品粽子，共亿过往，闲忆家常，一起在湖面上赛龙舟，说说笑笑，老人们见到子孙承欢膝下，劳碌一生的辛酸也就随着笑声烟消云散了。

历代文人墨客，对端午节也是别有钟情的。宋朝作家文天祥的“楚人犹自贪儿戏，江上年年夺锦标。”表达了文天祥对端午节的喜爱之情；唐朝作家文秀的“堪笑楚江空渺渺，不能洗得直臣冤。”表达了他对屈原的同情之心；北宋张丰的“国亡身殒今何有，只留离骚在世间”，表达了他对北宋的一片忠诚之心和对屈原的敬意。

最后，在这端午佳节里，祝大家过得健康、愉快、喜乐、平安。

Duanwu Festival (端午节， Duānwū Jié) 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(引用;引证) 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 (c. 340 BC-278 BC) 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.

中国的传统文化像天上的星星数也数不清，有过年的倒福、中秋节、还有端午节，现在我就给你介绍一下端午节。

China traditional culture such as the number of stars in the sky are innumerable, but there have the Spring Festival Fu, the Mid Autumn Festival, there are Dragon Boat Festival, now I will introduce you to the Dragon Boat festival.

传说楚国的皇上是一个昏君，只顾吃喝玩乐，屈原却说无效就投江自尽了，他投江时候还抱着一块巨大的石头，因为这样他一下江就沉下去，在也上不来了。

The legend of Chus emperor is a king, just idle away in seeking pleasure, Qu Yuan said not drowned himself in the river, when he threw jiang also hold a large stone, because of this he Jiang on the sink, in has not.

屈原投江以后两岸的老百姓划龙舟去救屈原，人们把江都找遍了，但是还是没有找到屈原的尸体。在这个紧张危险的时候，突然有一位百姓站出来，他说我们就不了屈原不要紧张，我们可以丢鱼和虾爱吃的东西比如：粽子、雄黄酒、蛋等东西去江里......

Qu Yuan after the two sides of the river dragon boat people to save Qu Yuan, Jiangdu people have searched, but did not find the body of Qu Yuan. In this tense and dangerous when, suddenly there is a people stand out, he said we cant Qu Yuan do not be nervous, we can throw the fish and shrimp to eat things such as: zongzi, eggs, the male Yellow Wine things to the river......

从此，人们把这一天作为端午节，人们一到端午节就划龙舟、吃粽子、喝雄黄酒等......

From then on, people regard this day as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival is for people to eat dumplings, dragon boat racing, drinking realgar Yellow Wine etc.......

时间慢慢长久了,传统文化也慢慢流传下来.

Time for a long time, the traditional culture is handed down slowly.

端午节，为每年农历五月初五，它是我们华夏民族家喻户晓的传统节日。它的主要习俗有：赛龙舟、吃粽子、佩香囊、悬艾叶。

赛龙舟是端午节最有特色的活动，那争先恐后的激烈场面，像屈原强烈的爱国精神一样，深入人心，让人看了过目不忘。虽然我从来没有实地观看过，但是我很期望有朝一日能领略那气势恢弘、热火朝天的壮观景象！

让我印象最深的无非是端午食粽。因为每逢端午，家家户户都会包粽子、吃粽子。相传粽子在春秋时期就有了。古人用茭白叶包黍米成牛角状，所以又称之为“角黍”;然后再用竹筒装米密封烤熟，粽子就诞生了。虽然粽子这么早就已经“崭露头角”，但在春秋时期，它并还没有像现在一样有名，一直到了晋代，“粽子”这名字才被定了下来，粽子理所当然也成为了端午节的必备食物，后来又到了唐代，粽子就真正改头换面了。直到今天，粽子还是端午的“主食”，到了后来它又流传至国外，在国外流行起来，也让外国人见识了我国的人情风俗！

佩香囊这个活动想必大伙儿也很熟悉。因为古人认为香囊有避邪驱瘟之意，所以无论贫穷贵贱，小孩们都要戴一个香囊，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，做成各种不同的形状，结成一串，形形色色，玲珑夺目，于是它又成了男女老少喜爱的小饰品。

谚曰：“清明插柳，端午插艾。”端午节来临之际，我国南方地区家家都将菖蒲、艾叶悬于堂中或插于门楣，“蒲剑利刃斩百邪，鬼魅瘟神入虎口。”既有驱魔法鬼之神效，又可以散发芳香，驱赶飞虫，清除污浊空气。

端午节真是一个展现了我国传统文化深厚底蕴的节日啊！我为我国有这样一个节日而骄傲。

[端午节习俗600字作文

五月五，是端阳，插艾叶，戴香囊，吃粽子，撒白糖，龙舟下水喜洋洋。”农历五月初五是端午节，端午节是我国三大传统节日中的一个，又称重午节、端阳节。

是纪念投汨罗江的爱国诗人屈原的节日。不过，也有人说，端午节是龙节，是五千年以前，南方少数民族纪念龙神的日子。

听妈妈说端午节的许多习俗都与“五”这个数字联系在一起。用红、黄、蓝、白、黑着五色红心系在儿童的脖颈、手腕儿或是足踝上称为“长寿缕”；各家要插“五端”：菖薄、艾草、石榴花、蒜头、龙船花；南方过端午要吃“五黄”：黄鱼、黄瓜、咸鸭蛋黄、黄豆瓣色的粽子、雄黄酒。无论在南方北方，这一天还要在儿童[来源]额头上画个“王”字，还要佩戴五颜六色的香囊。

相传龙舟竞渡是为了捞救投汨罗江而死的爱国诗人屈原。把粽子投进江河，为了让鱼蛟虾蟹吃饱了，不再咬食屈原的遗体。

打扫房屋、用端午这天正午的阳光晒蒜头、晒艾叶草恐怕是苏北一带众所周知的习俗啦。

嗨，端午节的习俗说也说不尽，这首儿歌对它做了一个总结：“五月五，是端阳，插艾叶，戴香囊，吃粽子，撒白糖，龙舟下水喜洋洋。

中国的农历五月初五为端午节，又名端阳节、重午节。端午节是中国二千多年的旧习俗，中国人为什么要过端午节呢？这里有着不少的传说，最著名的的就是为啦纪念中国历史上伟大的民族诗人屈原。屈原是中国古代伟大诗人、世界四大文化名人之一。两千多年来，每年的农历五月初五就成为啦纪念屈原的传统节日。史料记载，公元前278年农历五月初五，楚国大夫、爱国诗人屈原听到秦军攻破楚国都城的消息后，悲愤交加，心如刀割，毅然写下绝笔作《怀沙》，抱石投入汨罗江，以身殉国。沿江百姓纷纷引舟竞渡前去打捞，沿水招魂，并将粽子投入江中，以免鱼虾蚕食他的身体。这一习俗绵延至今，已有两千多年。

千百年来，屈原的爱国精神与感人诗辞，深入人心。人们“惜而哀之，世论其辞，以相传焉”。在民俗文化领域，中国民众从此把端午节的龙舟竞渡与吃粽子等，与纪念屈原紧密联系在一起。随着屈原影响的不断增大，始于春秋战国的端午节也逐步传播开来，成为中华民族的节日。

过端午节，中国各地有很多习俗。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。

悬钟馗像：钟馗捉鬼，是端午节习俗。在中国中部的江淮地区，家家都悬钟馗像，用以镇宅驱邪。钟馗与一个离奇传闻有关，相传中国唐代(618年-907年)的皇帝病中梦见一大鬼捉一小鬼而啖之，自称钟馗，醒后令画家吴道子描成画像，相貌凶残丑陋，以为打鬼、驱邪、除祟之用。

挂艾叶菖蒲：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。

赛龙舟：据说中国古代百姓因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。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的尸体。

我国民间过端午节是较为隆重的，庆祝的活动也是各种各样，比较普遍的活动有以下种种形式：

赛龙舟：

賽龙舟，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。竞渡之习，盛行于吴、越、楚。

其实 ，“龙舟竞渡”早在战国时代就有了。在急鼓声中划刻成龙形的独木舟，做竞渡游戏，以娱神与乐人，是祭仪中半宗教性、半娱乐性的节目。

后来，赛龙舟除纪念屈原之外，在各地人们还付予了不同的寓意。

江浙地区划龙舟，兼有纪念当地出生的近代女民主革命家秋瑾的意义。夜龙船上，张灯结彩，来往穿梭，水上水下，情景动人，别具情趣。贵州苗族人民在农历五月二十五至二十八举行“龙船节”，以庆祝插秧胜利和预祝五谷丰登。云南傣族同胞则在泼水节赛龙舟，纪念古代英雄岩红窝。不同民族、不同地区，划龙舟的传说有所不同。直到今天在南方的不少临江河湖海的地区，每年端节都要举行富有自己特色的龙舟竞赛活动。

清乾隆二十九年(1736年)，台湾开始举行龙舟竞渡。当时台湾知府蒋元君曾在台南市法华寺半月池主持友谊赛。现在台湾每年五月五日都举行龙舟竞赛。在香港，也举行竞渡。

此外，划龙舟也先后传入邻国日本、越南等及英国。1980年，赛龙舟被列入中国国家体育比赛项目，并每年举行“屈原杯”龙舟赛。1991年6月16日(农历五月初五)，在屈原的第二故乡中国湖南岳阳市，举行首届国际龙舟节。在竞渡前，举行了既保存传统仪式又注入新的现代因素的“龙头祭”。 “龙头”被抬入屈子祠内，由运动员给龙头“上红”(披红带)后，主祭人宣读祭文，并为龙头“开光”(即点晴)。然后，参加祭龙的全体人员三鞠躬，龙头即被抬去汩罗江，奔向龙舟赛场。此次参加比赛、交易会和联欢活动的多达60余万人，可谓盛况空前。尔后，湖南便定期举办国际龙舟节。赛龙舟将盛传于世。

端午食粽

端午节吃粽子，这是中国人民的又一传统习俗。粽子，又叫“角黍”、“筒粽”。其由来已久，花样繁多。

据记载，早在春秋时期，用菰叶(茭白叶)包黍米成牛角状，称“角黍”;用竹筒装米密封烤熟，称“筒粽”。东汉末年，以草木灰水浸泡黍米，因水中含碱，用菰叶包黍米成四角形，煮熟，成为广东碱水粽。

晋代，粽子被正式定为端午节食品。这时，包粽子的原料除糯米外，还添加中药益智仁，煮熟的粽子称“益智粽”。 时人周处《岳阳风土记》记载：“俗以菰叶裹黍米，……煮之，合烂熟，于五月五日至夏至啖之，一名粽，一名黍。”南北朝时期，出现杂粽。米中掺杂禽兽肉、板栗、红枣、赤豆等，品种增多。粽子还用作交往的礼品。

到了唐代，粽子的用米，已“白莹如玉”，其形状出现锥形、菱形。日本文献中就记载有“大唐粽子”。宋朝时，已有“蜜饯粽”，即果品入粽。诗人苏东坡有“时于粽里见杨梅”的诗句。这时还出现用粽子堆成楼台亭阁、木车牛马作的广告，说明宋代吃粽子已很时尚。元、明时期，粽子的包裹料已从菰叶变革为箬叶，后来又出现用芦苇叶包的粽子，附加料已出现豆沙、猪肉、松子仁、枣子、胡桃等等，品种更加丰富多彩。

一直到今天，每年五月初，中国百姓家家都要浸糯米、洗粽叶、包粽子，其花色品种更为繁多。从馅料看，北方多包小枣的北京枣粽;南方则有豆沙、鲜肉、火腿、蛋黄等多种馅料，其中以浙江嘉兴粽子为代表。吃粽子的风俗，千百年来，在中国盛行不衰，而且流传到朝鲜、日本及东南亚诸国。

佩香囊：

端午节小孩佩香囊，传说有避邪驱瘟之意，实际是用于襟头点缀装饰。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，玲珑可爱。

悬艾叶菖蒲：

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。在端午节，人们把插艾和菖蒲作为重要内容之一。家家都洒扫庭除，以菖蒲、艾条插于门眉，悬于堂中。并用菖蒲、艾叶、榴花、蒜头、龙船花，制成人形或虎形，称为艾人、艾虎;制成花环、佩饰，美丽芬芳，妇人争相佩戴，用以驱瘴。

艾，又名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳香油。它所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。中医学上以艾入药，有理气血、暖子宫、祛寒湿的功能。将艾叶加工成“艾绒”，是灸法治病的重要药材。

菖蒲是多年生水生草本植物，它狭长的叶片也含有挥发性芳香油，是提神通窍、健骨消滞、杀虫灭菌的药物。

可见，古人插艾和菖蒲是有一定防病作用的。端午节也是自古相传的“卫生节”，人们在这一天洒扫庭院，挂艾枝，悬菖蒲，洒雄黄水，饮雄黄酒，激浊除腐，杀菌防病。这些活动也反映了中华民族的优良传统。端午节上山采药，则是我国各国个民族共同的习俗。
