端午节(The Dragon Boat Festival)
06月02 星期一 天气:晴
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 disfav or in the emperors court.
Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, in his sorrow Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river. Because of their admiration for Qu 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 Qu Yuan, their efforts are still commemorated today during the Dragon Boat Festival.

端午节,也叫双第五节,是在阴历的第五个月的第第五天庆祝的。它是中国最重要的节日之一,另外两个是中秋节和农历新年。
这个夏季节日的由来围绕着一位名叫屈原的爱国诗人。他是一个非常好的值得尊敬的人,但因为被嫉妒他的奸臣陷害他最终投江。
无法恢复皇帝的尊重,在他的悲伤屈原投身到汨罗江。因为他们对屈原的钦佩,住在洛洛河附近的当地居民冲进他们的船里搜寻他,一边往河里扔大米,以安抚龙河。
虽然他们没能找到屈原,他们的努力,今天仍然值得纪念的端午节。
