dragon boat festival: 5th day of the 5th lunar month

qu yuan

the dragon boat festival, also called the duanwu festival, is
celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the
chinese calendar. for thousands of years, the festival has been

marked by eating zong zi (glutinous rice(糯米)wrapped to form
a pyramid using bamboo or reed leaves) and racing dragon
boats.

the festival is best known for its dragon- boat races, especially
in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and
lakes. this regatta(赛舟会)commemorates the death of qu yuan ,
an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by
drowning himself in a river.

qu was a minister of the state of chu situated in present-day
hunan and hubei provinces, during the warring states period
(475-221bc)(战国时期). he was upright, loyal and highly
esteemed for his wise counsel that brought peace and
prosperity to the state. however, when a dishonest and corrupt
prince vilified qu, he was disgraced and dismissed from office.
realizing that the country was now in the hands of evil and
corrupt officials, qu grabbed a large stone and leapt into the
miluo river (汨罗江) on the fifth day of the fifth month. nearby
fishermen rushed over to try and save him but were unable to
even recover his body. thereafter, the state declined and was
eventually conquered by the state of qin.

zongzi

the people of chu who mourned the death of qu threw rice
into the river to feed his ghost every year on the fifth day of the
fifth month. but one year, the spirit of qu appeared and told the
mourners that a huge reptile(爬行动物)in the river had stolen
the rice. the spirit then advised them to wrap the rice in silk
and bind it with five different-colored threads before tossing it
into the river.

during the duanwu festival, a glutinous rice pudding called
zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to qu.
ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds(莲子), chestnuts(栗子),
pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often
added to the glutinous rice. the pudding is then wrapped with
bamboo leaves, bound with a kind of raffia and boiled in salt
water for hours.

the dragon-boat races

the dragon-boat races symbolize the many attempts to rescue
and recover qus body. a typical dragon boat ranges from 50-

100 feet in length, with a beam of about 5.5 feet,
accommodating two paddlers seated side by side.

a wooden dragon head is attached at the bow, and a dragon
tail at the stern(船尾). a banner hoisted on a pole is also
fastened at the stern and the hull is decorated with red, green
and blue scales edged in gold. in the center of the boat is a
canopied shrine behind which the

drummers, gong(铜锣)beaters and cymbal(铙钹)players are
seated to set the pace for the paddlers. there are also men
positioned at the bow to set off firecrackers, toss rice into the
water and pretend to be looking for qu. all of the noise and
pageantry creates an atmosphere of gaiety and excitement for
the participants and spectators alike. the races are held among
different clans, villages and organizations, and the winners are
awarded medals, banners, jugs of wine and festive meals.

legend of the dragon boat festivals origin

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 qu 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，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。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 人们传颂纪念着。

端午节英语简介

officially on falling on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the
dragon boat festival is also known as double fifth day. while
many stories regarding its origin abound, the most popular
and widely accepted version regards qu yuan, a minister
during the warring states period (475 - 221 bc) legend of the
dragon boat festivals origin端午节起源的传说

at the end of the zhou dynasty, the area we now know as china
had fallen into a state of

fragmentation and conflict. while the zhou dynasty had ruled
for several centuries, several other states, originally feudal
domains, tried to carve out their own kingdoms. the state of
qin would eventually emerge the victor and unify all of china
under one rule for the first time in history.

qu yuan served as minister to the zhou emperor. a wise and
articulate man, he was loved by the common people. he did
much to fight against the rampant corruption that plagued the
court-- thereby earning the envy and fear of other officials.
therefore, when he urged the emperor to avoid conflict with the
qin kingdom, the officials pressured the emperor to have him
removed from service. in exile, he traveled, taught and wrote
for several years. hearing that the zhou had been defeated by
the qin, he fell into despair and threw himself into the milou
river. his last poem reads:

many a heavy sigh i have in my despair, grieving that i was
born in such an unlucky time. i yoked a team of jade dragons
to a phoenix chariot, and waited for the wind to come, to sour
up on my journey as he was so loved by the people, fishermen
rushed out in long boats, beating drums to scare the fish away,
and throwing zong zi into the water to feed braver fish so that
they would not eat qu yuans body.

the modern dragon boat festival现代端午节

starting from that time to this day, people commemorate qu
yuan through dragon boat races, eating zong zi, and several
other activities, on the anniversary of his death: the fifth day of

the fifth lunar boat races are the most exciting
part of the festival, drawing crowds of spectators.

dragon boats are generally brightly painted and decorated
canoes. ranging anywhere from 40 to 100 feet in length, their
heads are shaped like open-mouthed dragons, while the sterns
end with a scaly tail. depending on the length, up to 80 rowers
can power the boat. a drummer and flag-catcher stand at the
front of the boat. before a dragon boat enters competition, it
must be brought to life by painting the eyes in a sacred
ceremony. races can have any number of boats competing,
with the winner being the first team to grab a flag at the end of
the course. annual races take place all over china, hong kong,
macao, taiwan, and other overseas chinese communities.

zong zi粽子

the traditional food for the dragon boat festival, zong zi is a
glutinous rice ball, with a filling, wrapped in corn leaves. the
fillings can be egg, beans, dates, fruits, sweet potato, walnuts,
mushrooms, meat, or a combination of them. they are
generally steamed.

talisman and charms 符咒

another aspect of the double fifth day is the timing: at the
beginning of summer, when diseases are likely to strike,
people also wear talisman to fend off evil spirits. they may
hang the picture of zhong kui, guardian against evil spirits, on
the door of their homes, as well. adults may drink xiong huang
wine, and children carry fragrant silk pouches, all of which can
prevent evil. it is said that if you can balance a raw egg on its
end at exactly noon on double fifth day, the rest of the year will
be lucky.
