介绍端午节
Dear Mike,
Thanks a lot for your last letter, in which you asked me about the Dragon Boat Festival,
a traditional Chinese festival. Here is something about it.
Over a thousand years ago, there was a famous poem called Qu Yuan in China. He cared
about the common people as well as the whole country, so he did a lot for them. However, he
was not satisfied with the political situation at that time. What’s worse, he was unable to
change it. At last, he felt so hopeless that he decided to take his own life (take one’s own life
= commit suicide 自杀). Finally, he jumped into the Miluo River and drowned ( drown 淹
死，溺死). In memory of him, people created the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, so it is also
called the Double Fifth Festival. It usually comes in June. In China, it has been a public
holiday, so we have 3 days off. On that day, we usually eat zongzi, a kind of traditional
Chinese food, which is made of glutinous rice (stuffed with different things). It tastes really
delicious. We also drink xionghua wine. It’s said that it can keep us from evil spirits. To
celebrate this festival, what’s more, we have many activities. The most popular one is dragon
boat races. People usually take active part in them and enjoy themselves a lot during the
races.
I’m really glad that you’re interested in our Dragon Boat Festival. If you want to know
more about it, I’d like to send you some photos that I took during the festival last year. I hope
they will be helpful.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours
Liu Hua
