农历五月五日是我国民间传统的端午节,又叫重午节、端阳节。这个节日大约始于春秋战国时期,它与春节、中秋节一起,并称中华三大节日。
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. This festival started in the spring and Autumn period and Warring States period. It is called the three major festivals of China together with the Spring Festival and the Mid Autumn Festival.
关于端午节的起源,各地说法不一。影响最大的一说是为了纪念屈原。屈原,战国时代楚国人,出生在湖北秭归县三闾乐平里。由于他学识渊博,明于治乱,娴于辞令,便做了楚怀王的左徒。他主张对内“举贤授能”、对外“联齐抗秦”,最后达到统一中国的目的。然而,他的这一政治主张却遭到楚国一班奸臣的反对,受到排挤和陷害,被放逐到湖南一带,流落在洞庭湖畔。不久,又听到楚国都城被秦国军队攻破的消息,他难忍亡国之痛,于是在农历五月五日这天投汨罗江而死。人们为了救他,竞相划船寻觅并向水中抛粽子。
There are different opinions about the origin of Dragon Boat Festival. The most influential one is to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan, a native of Chu during the Warring States period, was born in lepingli, Sanlu, Zigui County, Hubei Province. Because of his erudite knowledge, his wisdom in dealing with chaos and his adept in rhetoric, he became the left apprentice of King Huai of Chu. He advocated "giving talents and abilities" at home and "uniting Qi and resisting Qin" at abroad, so as to achieve the goal of unifying China. However, his political idea was opposed by a group of treacherous officials of the state of Chu. He was ostracized and framed. He was exiled to Hunan and lived by Dongting Lake. Soon after, he heard the news that the capital of Chu state had been attacked by the army of Qin state. He couldn't bear the pain of national subjugation, so he threw himself into Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and died. In order to save him, people rowed boats to find and throw zongzi into the water.
