【篇二】以端午节为话题的英语作文
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.
