端午节
the Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth moon in memory of an ancient Chinese poet who committed suicide by jumping into a river rather than compromise his honour.The festival has developed into a joyous event characterised by dragon boat races and rice dumplings wrapped in lotus leaves.
农历五月初五是端午节.这个节日是纪念中国古代爱国诗人屈原,他为了保存气节而投江自尽,后来该节日成为龙舟竞渡和吃粽子的欢乐日子.
