每年的端午节，我都会想起小时候学过的儿歌：“桃儿红，杏儿黄，五月初五是端阳。粽子香，包五粮，剥个粽子裹上糖，幸福生活万年长”。端午节又称重阳节，关于端午节的来历，说的最多的是为了纪念历史上伟大的民族诗人屈原；还有的说这一天是伍子胥的忌辰；也有的说是为了纪念东汉孝女曹娥救父投江而死或是纪念现代革命女诗人秋瑾。
Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, I will think of the children's songs I learned when I was a child: "peach red, apricot yellow, the fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival. Zongzi fragrance, package five grains, peel a zongzi wrapped with sugar, happy life of ten thousand years. ". The Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Double Ninth Festival, is mainly about the origin of the festival in memory of Qu Yuan, a great national poet in history; some say that this day is the death of Wu Zixu; some say it is to commemorate Cao'e, the filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who rescued her father and died in the river, or in memory of Qiu Jin, a modern revolutionary poetess.
妈妈还告诉我：“端午节因为是五月初五，许多习俗也和“五”这个数字联系在一起。有用红，黄，蓝，白，黑五色丝线系在儿童的脖颈，手腕或足上，称为长命缕；各家要插“五端”：蒲，艾草，石榴花，蒜头，龙船花；南方过端午节要吃“五黄”：黄鱼，黄瓜，咸鸭蛋黄，雄黄酒，黄豆瓣包的粽子；不过，现代人过端午节主要是吃粽子和举办一些大型的庆祝活动。目前端午节已被定为国家法定假日，这也是对传统文化的重视，我国有五千年悠久的历史和灿烂的文化。你们应该多了解一些并把它发扬光大。听了妈妈的话，我觉得端午节真是一个古老而又神秘的节日!
My mother also told me: "Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of May, many customs are also associated with the number of" Five ". Red, yellow, blue, white and black silk thread is used to tie children's necks, wrists or feet, which is called "long life thread"; each family should insert "five ends": cattail, wormwood, pomegranate flower, garlic, Dragon Boat flower; southern Dragon Boat Festival will eat "five yellow": yellow croaker, cucumber, salted duck egg yolk, realgar wine, and rice dumplings wrapped with soybean petals; however, modern people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival mainly by eating zongzi and holding one Some big celebrations. At present, the Dragon Boat Festival has been designated as a national legal holiday, which also attaches importance to traditional culture. China has a long history of 5000 years and splendid culture. You should know more about it and carry it forward. After listening to my mother's words, I think the Dragon Boat Festival is really an ancient and mysterious Festival!
