1、Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival, often known as Duan Wu Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well, most notably Korea.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating Qus body. They also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as Poets Day, due to Qu Yuans status as Chinas first poet of personal renown.

Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of Qus dramatic death.

2、龙舟节，通常被称为端午节，是一个传统的中国节日举行在第五个月的第五天的中国日历。它也被称为端五。它已经被以各种方式在其他地区庆祝以及东亚，尤其是韩国。

端午确切的起源尚不清楚，但一种传统的观点认为，节日来源在中国诗人屈原的战国时期。他犯的河中溺死自己，因为他是由政府的腐败深恶痛绝楚自杀。当地群众，知道他是一个好人，决定投身到河里的鱼的食物，饲料，以防止吃屈原的尸体他们。他们还坐在龙舟，并试图吓唬由船上和激烈的寻找龙在船头头战鼓齐鸣声中的鱼了。

在中国民国初年，段坞也被“诗人节”庆祝，由于屈原作为中国的第一个著名的诗人的个人地位。

今天，人们吃粽子的曲的戏剧性死亡内存和龙舟比赛（原本打算饲料鱼类的食物）。
