【篇一】优秀端午节英语作文
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 Yuan’s body.
The Modern Dragon Boat Festival started from that
time to this day, people commemorated 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 month.
Dragon 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.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar holiday,
occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month
The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant
holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the
longest history. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated
by boat races in the shape of dragons. Competing teams
row their boats forward to a drumbeat racing to reach
the finish end first.
The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are
traditional customs to attempts to rescue the patriotic
poet Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned on the fifth day of the
fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw
bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the water.
Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the
hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of
eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings.
The celebration’s is a time for protection from
evil and disease for the rest of the year. It is done
so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs
