　　The Dragon Boat Festival, which comes on the 5th day of lunar May is one of our traditional festivals. The origin of this festival can be traced back to the Warring States Period. There was a patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. He was removed from the imperial court by a treacherous officials' slander. But, when he heard his country was conquered by enemies, he felt very sad and jumped into the river to show his loyalty. When people heard about this, they threw Zongzi into the river to feed the fish, so as to protect Quyuan's remains from the fish. They also held a Dragon Boat Race to commemorate him. Now it's still a custom to eat Zongzi and hold a Dragon Boat Race on that day.

　　农历五月初五的端午节是我国传统节日之一。这个节日的起源可以追溯到战国时期。从前有一位爱国诗人，名叫屈原。因被奸臣诽谤而离开朝廷。但，当他听说他的国家被敌人攻破后，他感到很伤心，就跳进河里以示他的忠诚。人们听说了这件事，就把粽子扔进河里喂鱼，以保护屈原的遗体不被鱼所吃。他们也举行龙舟比赛来纪念他。现在，在这一天吃粽子和赛龙舟仍然是一种习俗。
