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 cant 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 couldnt buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didnt 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 Valentines day, April Fools Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, its the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witchs Day in Czech. People burned the witchs 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 Id like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, its really a big project. Then Ill hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I cant finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive its 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。所以端午节只是吃粽子的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了粽子。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、情人节、四月愚人节，也有些人庆祝复活节教堂。谈端午节，它同国外的一些传统节日，如巫婆的一天在捷克。人们焚烧巫婆木偶以迎接春天。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。但我想呆在家里做我的装饰画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，它真是一个大项目。然后我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。但我认为其借鉴他们在这样一个炎热的季节，有点困难。

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 Chuping Wang and the Miluo River, then have the Dragon Boat Festival, I also vaguely know 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 people have to recover Qu Yuans 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 eating zongzi, people are the brother of wine poured into the river, so have a drink realgar 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 with people, they see the dragon boat race is needless to say, not far from the lake park, large and small dragon boat, Dragon Boat athletes embattled, but soon on the boat, they all seem to be in fine fig, really want to salvage Qu Yuan. In a blink of an eye, they began, with the slogan "sex.". They have a rhythm to draw from the dragon boat, which I imagine the people at that time have to retrieve his time......

战国时代楚秦争夺霸权，诗人屈原位列右大夫，很受楚王器重。后来，屈原的主张遭到上官大夫靳尚为首的守旧派的反对，他们不断在楚怀王的面前诋毁屈原，楚怀王渐渐疏远了屈原。有着远大抱负的屈原倍感痛心，他怀着难以抑制的忧郁悲愤，写出了《离骚》、《天向》等不朽诗篇。

The Warring States Chu chin hegemony, the poet Qu Yuan ranks right doctor, highly popular with the king of chu. Later, Qu Yuans idea Shangguan doctor Jin Shang led the conservative opposition, they constantly in front of chuhuaiwang vilify Qu Yuan chuhuaiwang alienated the Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan has lofty aspirations more distressed, he with difficulty suppressed anger depression, write the "Li Sao", "days" and other immortal poems.

公无前229年，秦国攻占了楚国八座城池，接着又派使臣请楚怀王去秦国议和。屈原看破了秦王的阴谋，冒死进宫陈述利害，楚怀王不但不听，反而将屈原逐出郢都。楚怀王如期赴会，一到秦国就被囚禁起来，楚怀王悔恨交加，忧郁成疾，三年后客死于秦国。楚顷襄王即位不久，秦王又派兵攻打楚国，顷襄王仓惶撤离京城，秦兵攻占郢都。屈原在流放途中，接连听到楚怀王客死和郢都攻破的噩耗后，万念俱灰，仰天长叹一声，投入了滚滚激流的汩罗江。江上的渔夫和岸上的百姓听说屈原大夫投江自尽，都纷纷来到江上奋力打捞屈原的尸体，同时拿来了粽子、鸡蛋投入江中。有些郎中还把雄黄酒倒入江中，以便药昏蛟龙水兽使屈原大夫尸体免遭伤害。

No public 229 years ago, the state of Qin conquered the eight cities, and then sent envoys please go to the representative qin. Qu Yuan saw through the plot, risked his life to enter the palace of King Huai statements of interest, not only did not listen, but Qu Yuan will be expelled from the capital. The king of Chu scheduled to attend the meeting, to the state of Qin was imprisoned, King Huai mixed feelings of remorse and shame, depression disease, three years after the death of Yu Qinguo. King Xiang of Chu are ascended the throne soon, he also sent troops to attack Chu king Qingxiang, desperate to evacuate the capital, Qin Bing capture. Qu Yuan in exile, has heard the king of Chu die off and break the bad news, All thoughts are blasted., sigh a, invested rolling rapids of the river. Jiang on the fishermen and people on shore heard the doctor Qu Yuan drowned himself in a river, have come to the river to salvage the bodies of Qu Yuan, at the same time brought Tzu, eggs into the river. Some healers also hsiunghuang wine poured into the river, so that drug faint water dragon beast doctor so that the body of Qu Yuan from harm.

从此，每年五月初的屈原投江殉难日，楚国人民都到江上划龙舟，投粽子，以此来纪念伟大的爱国诗人，端午节的风俗就这样流传下来。

Since then, every year in early five Qu Yuan Jiang martyrs day to vote, Chu people rowing on the river, throwing dumplings to commemorate the

农历五月初五，是中国民间的传统节日——端午节，它是中华民族古老的传统节日之一。端午也称端五，端阳。此外，端午节还有许多别称，如：午日节、重五节，五月节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节、龙日等等。虽然名称不同，但总体上说，各地人民过节的习俗还是同多于异的。

过端午节，是中国人二千多年来的传统习惯，由于地域广大，民族众多，加上许多故事传说，于是不仅产生了众多相异的节名，而且各地也有着不尽相同的习俗。其内容主要有：女儿回娘家，挂钟馗像，迎鬼船、躲午，帖午叶符，悬挂菖蒲、艾草，游百病，佩香囊，备牲醴,赛龙舟，比武，击球，荡秋千，给小孩涂雄黄，饮用雄黄酒、菖蒲酒，吃五毒饼、咸蛋、粽子和时令鲜果等，除了有迷信色彩的活动渐已消失外，其余至今流传中国各地及邻近诸国。有些活动，如赛龙舟等，已得到新的发展，突破了时间、地域界线，成为了国际性的体育赛事。

关于端午节的由来，说法甚多，诸如：纪念屈原说;纪念伍子胥说 ;纪念曹娥说;起于三代夏至节说;恶月恶日驱避说，吴月民族图腾祭说等等。以上各说，各本其源。据学者闻一多先生的《端午考》和《端午的历史教育》列举的百余条古籍记载及专家考古考证，端午的起源，是中国古代南方吴越民族举行图腾祭的节日，比屈原更早。但千百年来，屈原的爱国精神和感人诗辞，已广泛深入人心，故人们“惜而哀之，世论其辞，以相传焉”，因此，纪念屈原之说，影响最广最深，占据主流地位。在民俗文化领域，中国民众把端午节的龙舟竞渡和吃粽子等，都与纪念屈原联系在一起。

时至今日，端午节仍是中国人民中一个十分盛行的隆重节日

When it comes to the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, you will think of Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi. Do you know the origin of Dragon Boat Festival? Let me tell you something about it.

Qu Yuan, a doctor in the state of Chu, had always loved the country, but his patriotic heart was unfairly treated by Zi Lan and Jin Shang. In the early May ad 278, five, Qu Yuan was patriotic and angry, holding a big stone, jumping into the Miluo River and suicidal. The people of the state of Chu were all sorrowful. They all rowed a boat to save Qu Yuan. But a vast ocean, where there was Qu Yuans shadow, the gang had been in the Miluo river for half a day, and had no choice but to find Qu Yuan corpse. The bamboo tube in Steamed Rice cast the hope that the fish in the water is not the original body of gnawing humiliation. After that, every year on the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, the local people rowed the rice into the river in the bamboo tube, and later, the rice in the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi.

On the annual Dragon Boat Festival, people pack zongzi, buy zongzi and eat zongzi. The shape of zongzi is very special, neither square nor round. The zongzi is wrapped with green rice dumplings wrapped in glutinous rice and jujube. The color and appearance of the dumplings are very good. The taste of the dumplings is unique. It is a unique taste of the zongzi. It is both a delicacy of summer and an appetizing food, and a good nourishing nourishing product.

Whenever I eat zongzi, I think of Qu Yuans patriotism.

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of qu yuan, a patriotic poet qu yuan out a good idea to rich countries qiangming, but not adopted by the king, he was kicked out of the palace. Qu yuan was so angry that he jumped into the miluo river. The local fisherman learned that he rowed a boat to the miluo river to the miluo river. Later, the bamboo tube was changed to zongzi, and the boat was changed to the dragon boat to commemorate qu yuan. Our family is very impressed with qu yuan, so we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. Our family has a really good zongzi -- my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Momma always said: the rice dumplings with reeds are the most fragrant. Therefore, every year, the mother of the Dragon Boat Festival USES the leaves of the reed to make zongzi. Before making zongzi, she prepared herself: boil the leaves of the reeds in the water and wash them separately. When the reed leaves were cold, she began to make zongzi. Her first three leaf, this three leaves into a cone, then put a date first, and then put on inside glutinous rice, middle to clip a few dates, the last thread tied leaves, a rice dumplings wrapped. Her dumplings are fat and big, like the old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings have finished, mom put them in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then another three or four hours to make it taste and then eat it! My mothers dumplings are very fragrant, so that when I see the zongzi, I will eat them. So, when eating zongzi, I always eat a lot!

The Dragon Boat Festival besides the need to eat zongzi, also the dragon boat!

I like watching dragon boat RACES the most, and dozens of mariners, with their OARS, struggling to make their way to the drum, beat the drum and beat the drum. "Come on, come on! The outside cheerleaders were enthusiastic, thundering and cheering, and the sailors were forced to row harder. The scene of the dragon boat race was spectacular and enthusiastic.

Eating zongzi and racing dragon boat racing, the two traditional customs jointly knit together a hot and noisy Dragon Boat Festival.
