端午节是中国的传统节日,在农历第五月第五日。它也被称为双第五。从那时起,东亚各国也以各种方式庆祝它。在欧美地区,它通常被称为端午节。
DuanWu确切的起源尚不清楚,但一个传统的观点认为,这个节日是由中国诗人屈原战国时期。他因沉溺于一条河而自杀,因为他对楚国政府的腐败感到厌恶。当地人知道他是个好人,决定把食物扔到河里喂鱼,这样他们就不会吃屈原的尸体了。他们长时间坐在狭小的龙舟上,并试图把鱼儿吓跑的齐鸣声船和凶猛的雕龙头船的船头打鼓。
民国初年,端午节也被誉为“诗人节”,“由于屈原的地位,作为中国的第一诗人的个人名声。
今天,人们吃竹子包粽子称为粽子粽子(原本打算喂鱼的食物)和赛龙舟纪念屈原的戏剧性死亡。

我国古代有一位爱国诗人叫屈原,他遭谗言被放逐后,无力拯救危亡的国家,悲愤过度,于是投江自尽,以生殉国。人们为了不使鱼虾吃掉他的尸体,纷纷将捏成的各种各样的饼子投入江中,用来喂饱水中的动物,有的划着船在水上敲锣打鼓驱赶水兽。这便成为现在端午节,吃粽子、炸糕点、赛龙舟的由来。
说到这里,我又想起了我家过端午节的情景。奶奶捏了种类不同的饼子,有小花,小人,小海星,真是形态各异。妈妈急着去买菜角,爸爸不慌不忙地拉着我去买粽子。排着长长的队,好似一条长龙,我们好不容易才买到了粽子。可以看出,家家户户都很重视这个节日,人们用这种方式来表达对屈原的思念和崇敬。
