端午节
Duan Wu Festival
端午节是在农历的五月五日，也叫做龙舟节，它是中国三大传统节日之一，另外两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。
Duan Wu Festival, which officially falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It’s also called the Dragon Boat Festival. It’s among the three major traditional holidays celebrated by Chinese. The other two are the Mid-autumn Festival and the Chinese New Year.
有关这个节日的起源有很多传说，但是最广为流传、最被大家接受的版本跟战国时期的著名诗人屈原有关。
There are many legends regarding the origin of the festival, but the most popular and widely accepted version relates to Qu Yuan, a well-known poet during the Warring States Period (475–221 BC).
屈原是楚国的官员，当他听到楚国被秦所败，悲愤绝望之至，在农历五月五日那天投汨罗江自尽。
Qu Yuan served as minister to the King of the Chu Kingdom. Hearing that the Chu had been defeated by the Qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.
屈原深受人民爱戴，所以当地的渔民匆忙划着长船在江内寻找屈原。他们一边击鼓把鱼吓走，一边把粽子扔到江里喂鱼，好让这些鱼不要啃噬屈原的身体。
He was so loved by the people, so the local fishermen rushed out in long boats to look for him, beating drums to scare the fish away, and throwing zongzi into the water to feed the fish so that they would not eat Qu Yuan’s body.
从那时起到现在，人们每年都要在屈原去世的那天赛龙舟、吃粽子，并举行其他活动来纪念他。
Starting from that time to this day, people commemorate Qu Yuan through Dragon Boat Races, eating zong zi, and several other activities, on the anniversary of his death.
粽子是端午节的传统食物，是一种包在芦苇叶或竹叶里的糯米团。可以放馅儿，馅儿可以是蛋、红豆、大枣。
Zongzi is the traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a glutinous rice ball, with a filling, wrapped in reed leaves or bamboo leaves. The fillings can be egg, sweet red beans and dates. |
