篇一：端午节英文作文
端午节(As we enter the month of June, we find ourselves
already in the middle of the year. However, according to the
Chinese lunar calendar, the fifth month just begins and the
Chinese people are preparing to celebrate another traditional
festival -- the Duanwu Festival.)
The Duanwu Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth
month of the Chinese lunar calendar. For thousands of years,
Duanwu has been marked by eating Zongzi and racing dragon
boats.
The taste of Zongzi, a pyramid- shaped dumpling made of
glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves to give it
a special flavor, varies greatly across China. Zongzi is often
made of rice mixed with dates in Northern China, because
dates are abundant in the area. Eastern China’s Jiaxing
County is famous for its pork-stuffed Zongzi. In the southern
province of Guangdong, people stuff Zongzi with pork, ham,
chestnuts and other ingredients, making them very rich in

flavor. In Sichuan province, Zongzi is usually served with a
sugar dressing. Most people still maintain the tradition of
eating Zongzi on the day of the Duanwu Festival. But the
special delicacy has become so popular that you can now buy
it all the year round.
Duanwu is also known as the Dragon Boat Festival,
because dragon boat races are the most popular activity
during the festival, especially in Southern China. A dragon
boat is shaped like a dragon, and is brightly painted in red,
white, yellow and black. Usually, a dragon boat is 20 to 40
meters long, and needs several dozen people to row it.
Boatmen row the boat in cadence with the drumbeats, as the
captain standing in the bow of the boat waves a small flag to
help coordinate the rowing. Before the race gets underway, a
solemn ceremony is held to worship the Dragon King.
Dragon boat racing is quite a spectacle, with drums
beating, colorful flags waving, and thousands of people
cheering on both sides of the river. Nowadays, it has become a
popular sporting activity in Southern China. International
dragon boat races are held in Guangzhou and Hong Kong
every year.
The Duanwu Festival used to have other interesting

customs that are no longer commonly observed, though you
may still find them practiced in some rural areas.
Ancient Chinese believed the day of Duanwu was
unlucky because midsummer was just around the corner. The
hot weather used to bring various diseases, which could
spread rampantly. Dispelling disease and driving out evil were
the main purpose of the festival. People would paste on their
front doors pictures of Zhongkui, a legendary Chinese
ghost-catcher. People would also use cattail and mugwort
leaves to drive away mosquitoes and other insects.
Since children are generally the most vulnerable to
disease, they received extra care at this special time. Children
would wear necklaces or bracelets, made of red, yellow, blue,
white and black threads, to keep evil away from them. They
would also receive colorful pouches containing fragrant herbal
medicines as presents. They hung these around their necks,
and would compete with one another to see whose pouch had
the finest needlework. Mothers also made sure to bathe their
children in water boiled with herbal medicines. Modern
science has proven that these medicines are, in fact, quite
beneficial to health.
Ancient Chinese believed realgar was an antidote for all

poisons, and therefore most effective to drive away evil spirits
and kill insects. So everyone would drink some realgar wine
during the Duanwu Festival, and children would have the
Chinese character for “King” written on their foreheads with
realgar wine.
