The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the great patriotic poet: qu yuan.
When making zongzi, they can have different shapes such as triangles, circles, squares and rectangles. They are salty, sweet and peanut.
Dragon boat racing is because the spacecraft can save the great patriotic poet qu yuan, the other is because afraid of dragon hurt the body of qu yuan, people can play it sailed gong, to kill the dragon. Every year on the fifth day of may, there is a dragon boat race.
This is the traditional Chinese festival, Dragon Boat Festival. I love Dragon Boat Festival!
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar. For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zong zi (glutinous ricewrapped to form a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon boats.The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes. Thisregattacommemorates the death of Qu Yuan , an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. The dragon-boat races symbolize the many attempts to rescue and recover Qu's body. A typical dragon boat ranges from 50-100 feet in length, with a beam of about 5.5 feet, accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.
龙舟节，也叫端午节，是在中国的农历五月初五这一天庆祝。千百年来，吃粽子(用竹叶或芦苇叶把糯米包裹起来，形成一个金字塔)和赛龙舟已经成为这个节日的标志。这个节日最出名的是龙舟赛，尤其是在有很多河流和湖泊的南方省份。这一划船比赛是为了纪念屈原的死，据说他是一位正直的大臣，他是投江自刎的。龙舟赛象征着拯救和恢复屈氏体的许多尝试。一艘典型的龙舟长度达50到100英尺不等，束长约5.5英尺，可容纳两个桨手并排坐。
今天，我看见家里有很多粽子。
我最喜欢吃蜜枣粽子了，我吃了一口，甜甜的，黏黏的，真好吃，我边吃边问妈妈：“今天为什么要吃粽子呢？”妈妈说：“今天是五月初五端午节，吃粽子是为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原，还有的地方举行赛龙舟来纪念他。”
我吃着香喷喷的粽子。明白了端午节的来历。
Today, I see a lot of zongzi at home.
My favorite food is jujube rice dumplings, I took a bite to eat, sweet, sticky, delicious, I ate and ask a mother: "why do you want to eat zongzi today?" "Today is the fifth Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of may," said the mother. "eating zongzi is a tribute to the great poet qu yuan, and there is also a place for the dragon boat race to commemorate him."
I eat the fragrant rice dumplings. Understand the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
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！

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, it's 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 Qu's 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 boat's prow(船头).
In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," due to Qu Yuan's status as China's 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 Qu's dramatic death.
Dragon Boat race Traditions
At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager's valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Lo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.
Tzung Tzu A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

[龙舟节，又名为端午节 是中国的一个传统节日，他在农历第五个月份的第五天.端午节是为了纪念中国诗人屈原所设立的节日。他由于厌恶古代朝廷的贪腐而投江自杀。人们坐在船头，击鼓以吓走鱼虾，所以我们现在用赛龙舟来庆祝这个节日，人们也吃粽子来怀念屈原之死
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。
这次的端午节可真有意思，不但我会包粽子了，还知道如果遇到了挫折，还要爬起来从新尝试！
Today, it is the Dragon Boat Festival. My grandma and grandpa came to my house. My grandmother said to me: "their families hang mugwort calamus, eat zongzi, go up the hill and pick green, and eat zongzi and make zongzi.

I started to be a little smug, thinking: it's hard for me to make a simple dumpling. But when I put the leaves back on, the glutinous rice was like a naughty child who didn't listen to my commands and jumped out in succession. 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. After a few setbacks, I finally got to the last step. I took the palm rope and wrapped it in a circle and then I gave it to my grandmother. It was then that I realized that zongzi was a handicraft work and it was very difficult to wrap up.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most popular traditional festivals celebrated in China, which is on the fifth of the fifth lunar month, also known as Duanwu Festival. It’s said that it is to commemorate the death of a Chinese patriotic poet, Qu Yuan, who was snared by corrupt officials in ancient China and finally committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River to protest against them.
端午节是中国传统节日中最流行的节日之一，它是在阴历五月的第五天。据说这是为了纪念一个中国的爱国诗人屈原的死，他被中国古代腐败官员陷害最后在汨罗河投江自杀来表示抗议。
The traditions and customs held on this festival differ from place to place, but there are some common in them. First, the most famous and great tradition is holding Dragon Boat races, which are held by fishermen’s attempt to protect Qu Yuan’s body against attacking by fishes and other animals in the river by beating drums and row the dragon shaped boat. Nowadays dragon boat races have been an annual popular sport activity among people. In addition, making and eating Zongzi—a dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves—is also a popular custom during this day. It can be made by many kinds of stuffing. What’s more, hanging herbs on the front door, drinking realgar wine and pasting up picture of Zhongkui—a mythic guardian figure in ancient china—are also popular during the festival, which are mean to protect people from evil and disease.
这个传统习俗不同的地方有不同的庆祝方式，但也有相同的方面。首先，最出名的传统就是举行龙舟比赛，这是由渔民们举行的，通过打鼓和划龙形的船来保护屈原的身体免受鱼类和其他动物的攻击。现在龙舟赛是人们一年一度的流行的体育活动。此外，做和吃粽子——糯米面团，包着竹叶或芦苇叶，在那一天也是 一个流行的风俗。它可以由不同种类的馅料制成。还有就是，门上挂着草药，人们喝雄黄酒，在门前张贴中国古代神话人物钟馗的图片在节日期间也是很受欢迎的，做这些的意义是保护人们免受邪恶和疾病。
These customs and traditions have been changed a little in recent years, but they still make contribution to the spread and inheritance of Chinese culture.
这些习俗和传统，在最近几年已经发生了一些变化，但他们仍然为中国文化传承与传播做贡献。
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.

dragon boat festival, often known as tuen ng festival or duan wu 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, most notably korea.
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 fishes to prevent them from eating qu's body. they also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.
in the early years of the chinese republic, duan wu was also celebrated as "poets' day", due to qu yuan's status as china's first poet of personal renown.
today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of qu's dramatic death.
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.
端午节是中国的传统节日。是农历五月初五。我妈妈和奶奶在节日的前一天就开始包粽子了。当然，我会去打打下手。但事实证明，我是在帮倒忙。她们包完粽子之后就开始煮了。这个过程需要很长的时间，因为我要到第二天才可以吃到粽子。粽子非常好吃。在端午节这一天，我们家里吃过早饭就开始准备晚餐了。家里所有人都会回家吃这丰盛的食物。在中国传统节日的餐桌上鸡是必不可少的。还有很多好吃的、让我流口水的食物。我吃了很多。这是一个美好的节日。
端午节到咯！我们家特地买来一盒粽子来欢度端午。我津津有味地品尝着美味的粽子，不禁赞道：“真是好吃，希望每天都是端午节。”话音刚落，我就听见妈妈足以传遍整栋楼的尖叫，我和爸爸急忙赶过去。
只见妈妈指着一个房间的门，惊恐地说：“这怎么回事！”我和爸爸不约而同地往门内一望，同时被吓到了。我的天啊！这房间里面摆得全都是大大小小的盒装粽子！我连忙掐了自己一下，“哎哟，痛死我了……看来不是梦……”
“你去！”爸爸妈妈互相对望一眼，极有默契地双手一推，把我推入“粽海”。
“胆小鬼！”我一边抱怨一边望向粽子包装盒。只见盒子上赫然写着几个大字“雷神牌粽子”，然后下面是一个造型惊人的“神”，后面跟着歌词“偶雷偶雷偶雷偶雷……”我愕然，难道这就是传说中的“雷神”！
为了解决这不速之客——“雷神牌粽子”，我和爸妈访亲拜友，白送粽子。送的人家都不好意思要了。哪知送完了一批粽子还剩一大堆，堆的跟山一样高。
为了正常的作息，夺回被粽子霸占的房间。我被迫当起了小贩。每天放完学就一边写作业，一边卖粽子。可是端午节都过去了，生意惨淡啊！我埋没在一堆粽子里，过往的人们在粽子前面纷纷议论，“这孩子真可怜，哪位好心人，把她的粽子买几盒送到废品收购站吧……”我汗如雨下。
因为学习退步的缘故，老妈结束了我的“小贩生涯”，她一脸沉重的告诉我后果——那就是，每天一日三餐都得多加2个大粽子！
这项决定导致我一听跟粽子谐音或沾边的词胃里就开始翻滚。可那一大堆粽子还是不见少……
下一个端午要来了，我们还在与粽子作艰苦斗争，这就是我们家传说中的“粽子战争”。这粽子好像怎么吃也吃不完。
就在我们一家陷入绝望时，一个唱着“偶雷偶雷偶雷偶雷……”的东西(？)经过，一听歌词，怎么那么耳熟？我一看，天哪！竟然是雷神！(这形象已深入我心。)我看见他马上大吼：“我不要房间里的这些粽子啦！！”，一瞬间，那些“雷神牌粽子”消失的无影无踪。我长舒一口气，终于不用再受折磨了。
下一个端午前夕。爸爸又抱着一大盒粽子回到家，我看着这一情景，默默地站了很久，然后像纸片一样轻飘飘地跌在地面。在昏倒之前，我用最后一丝气息缓缓说道：“我不要再吃……“雷神牌”粽子了……”
然后昏倒在地。
爸爸看着我，缓缓说道：“这是今年的粽子。”
The Dragon Boat Festival is here! Our family specially bought a box of zongzi to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. I tasted the delicious dumplings with relish, and said, "it's delicious. I hope it's Dragon Boat Festival every day." As soon as I heard it, I heard my mother screaming in the whole building, and my father and I hurried over.
She pointed to the door of a room and said in horror, "what's going on?" My father and I looked at each other in the door, and we were frightened. Oh my god! The room was full of small boxes of rice dumplings! I quickly pinched myself, "ouch, it hurts me... it doesn't look like a dream..."
"You go! Mom and dad looked at each other, and they pushed me into the sea of rice.
"Coward! As I complained, I looked at the dumplings box. See box impressively write letters "thor" brand rice dumplings ", then the following is a modelling "god", followed by the words "accidentally LeiOu LeiOu LeiOu ray..." I am stunned, this is the legend of "thor"!
In order to solve this unexpected guest, "thor zongzi", my parents and I visited our relatives and sent zongzi. The people in the house were embarrassed to ask for it. There is a lot of zongzi left, and the pile is as high as the mountain.
In order to get a normal routine, retake the room which is occupied by zongzi. I was forced to be a peddler. Finish your homework every day and sell zongzi. But the Dragon Boat Festival is over. I buried in a pile of rice dumplings, past people whispering in front of the rice dumplings, "the child is really poor, which good intention, send her dumplings a few boxes to the junkyard..." I sweat like a rain.
For the sake of learning step mom over my "vendor lives", she told me a face of heavy consequences - that is, three meals a day every day must add 2 big rice dumplings!
This decision caused me to start rolling in my stomach with the word "zongzi" or "the word". But that big pile of dumplings is still missing...
The next Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and we are still struggling with zongzi. This is the "zongzi war" in our legend. The dumplings seem to be eating and eating.
As one of our family was in despair, one of them sang "the occasional thunderer." (?) After listening to the lyrics, how do you know? Oh, my god! Thor! This image has penetrated my heart. I saw him roar at once: "I don't want the dumplings in the room!!" In a flash, those "thor dumplings" disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally I didn't have to suffer any more.
The next Dragon Boat Festival eve. My father came home with a big box of zongzi, and I watched the scene, standing silently for a long time, then falling on the ground like a piece of paper. Before I fainted, I slowly said, "I don't want to eat..." Thor: "dumplings..."
Then he fainted in the ground.
Dad looked at me and said slowly, "this is the zongzi this year."

端午节，通常被称为端午节或节节，是中国传统节日举行第五天的第五个月的中国日历。它也被称为双五节，它已经庆祝，以各种方式，在东亚其他地区，以及最显着的韩国。
端午确切的起源还不清楚，但一个传统的观点认为，这个节日是由中国诗人屈原战国时期。他因沉溺于一条河而自杀，因为他对楚国政府的腐败感到厌恶。当地人知道他是个好人，决定把食物扔到河里喂鱼，以防他们吃屈原的尸体。他们还坐在龙舟上，试图用船上的鼓声和船前凶恶的龙头来吓走鱼儿。
民国初年，端午也被誉为“诗人节”，由于屈原的地位，作为中国第一诗人的个人名声。
今天，人们吃粽子(原本打算喂鱼的食物)和赛龙舟以纪念屈原的戏剧性死亡。
阳光明媚的星期六，我们在家里过着一年一度的端午节。
这天，妈妈在厨房里包粽子，做鲜美可口的饭菜。我和爸爸在客厅里下棋。终于到了吃饭的时候，我们围着桌子吃着粘软的粽子和美味的饭菜。把我撑得肚皮像球一样。
我想：过端午节真好，我真想每天都过端午节，天天吃好吃的。
