端午节的由来

(

)

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.

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。

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 emperor's

court.

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。

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.

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。
