高考英语作文：端午节的由来和风俗

the dragon boat festival, also called double fifth festival, is

celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar

calendar. it is one of the most important chinese festivals, the

other two being the autumn moon festival and chinese new

year

。

the origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly

government official named chu yuan. he was a good and

respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals

he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperors court

。

unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow chu

yuan threw himself into the mi low river. because of their

admiration for chu yuan, the local people living adjacent to the

mi lo river rushed into their boats to search for him while

throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons

。

although they were unable to find chu yuan, their efforts are

still commemorated today during the dragon boat festival

。

端午节的由来

端午节，又称为五五节，因为端午节是在农历的五月五日，是三个

重要的中国节庆之 一，其他两个分别是中秋节和农历新年。

< br>这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位

爱民而且又受到 尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，

从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法 获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧

郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

由於对屈原的爱戴，汨罗江畔的居民匆忙的划船在江内寻找屈 原，

并且将米丢入汨罗江中，以平息汨罗江中的蛟龙。即使他们当时并

< br>没有找到屈原，但是他们的行为，直到今天在端午节的时候，仍然

被人们传颂纪念 著。

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 villagers 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

。

ay taso

the time of year of the dragon boat festival, the fifth lunar

moon, has more significance than just the story of chu yuan.

many chinese consider this time of year an especially

dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect

their family from illness. families will hang various herbs,

called ay tsao, on their door for protection. the drinking of

realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body.

hsiang bao are also worn. these sachets contain various

fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from

illness

。

风俗习惯

端午节最重要的活动是龙舟竞赛，比赛的队伍在热烈的鼓声中划著

他们多彩的龙舟前进。这项活动的灵感是来自於当时汨罗江畔的居

民，在江中划船救屈 原，而这个传统也一直保持了数个世纪。

< br>在端午节时受欢迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋

黄及其他材料， 再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统则来由於汨罗江边的

渔夫，将米丢入江中平息江中的蛟龙， 希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。

农历的 五月，也就是端午节的这个时节，对中国人而言，除了屈原

的故事还有许多其他重要的意 义。许多中国人相信五月是一年中容

易引发疾病的危险时节，因此必须有许多防备家人生 病的措施。许

多家庭会将一种特别的植物

艾草挂在门口，作为保护之用，而人们

也会挂带香包，它是以含有多种香味的药用植 物所做成，也可以保

护人们远离疾病。
