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 qus 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 yuans status as chinas first poet of personal renown. today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of qus dramatic death. 中文： 龙舟节，端午节经常或端午节，是一种传统的中国节日对中华历5月5日举行。它也被称为端五。来源请求它已经被庆祝，以各种方式在其他地区以及东亚，尤其是韩国。

worldwide popularity 一个逐渐受到全球欢迎的中国节日 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. 有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。 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. 端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。 多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。 so what is it about the dragon boat festival that appeals to foreigners? “its an unusualsport,” 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.” 那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢？“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢？“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。” the dragon boat festival ,also called the duanwu festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the chinese calendar.people always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it. very popular. the rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. you can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.they are very delicious. and dragon boat festival is for qu yuan. he is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river. overall, the dragon boat festival is very interesting! 端午节(dragon boat festival) the dragon boat festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历). it is one of the three most important of the annual chinese festivals. the other two are the autumn moon festival and chinese new year. the story of this colorful festival concerns a famous chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named chu yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of christ, served the king of chu(楚怀王)during the warring states period. as a loyal minister(大臣), chu yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的). chu yuan was never able to regain(恢复) the emperors favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 b.c.(before christ), at the age of 37, chu yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the milo river(汨罗江) in the hunan province(湖南省). respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. this unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the dragon boat festival commemorates every year. probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the dragon boats. these races not only symbolize the peoples attempt to save chu yuan, they also demonstrate the chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork. another activity of the festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called tzungtzu (粽子). when it became known that chu yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. they wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables. to the chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the dragon boat festival. since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的) period. children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. the day of the dragon boat festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生) are stressed(着重, 强调). most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence. ancient folk medicines(民间药物) such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the festival day. this is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). the drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies. the sachets (hsiang pao in chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(竞争) with each other to collect as many as possible. children are not the only ones who collect hsiang pao. older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的) and beautiful embroidery(刺绣) that adorns(装饰) them. the dragon boat festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. it gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich chinese cultural
