Dragon Boat Festival, often known as Tuen Ng Festival or 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 Qu's 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 Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown.Today, people eat zongzi(the food originally intended to feed the fishes)and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.中文：

龙舟节，端午节经常或端午节，是一种传统的中国节日对中华历5月5日举行。它也被称为端五。[来源请求]它已经被庆祝，以各种方式在其他地区以及东亚，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。

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture.The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who aren’t even Christian.Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holiday’s origins.有些节日实在是很有趣，所以在本土文化以外的地方也很受欢迎。最明显的例子可能就是圣诞节，世界各地的人都会庆祝圣诞节，即使是非基督徒。同样，最近几年端午节已经不局限于中国，成为国际性节日，而庆祝的人可能对节日的由来并不太了解。

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals.Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C.The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor.Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river.Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him.Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。

Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves.The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world.Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa.Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。这些竞赛显然激起了世界各地人们的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举办，从温哥华到悉尼，从波兰的格但斯克到南非的开普敦。单单字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟队伍，德国则有近30个。

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? “It’s an unusual sport,” says one racer from Germany.“It’s not like everybody’s doing it.That’s one of the reasons that there’s such great team spirit in a dragon boat team – everybody feels like we’re doing something special.” And what about the zongzi? “Ehhh, they’re not bad, I guess,” he says.“Something of an acquired taste.I just haven’t really acquired it yet.”

那么，为什么端午节赛龙舟会吸引外国人呢？“这是一项不寻常的运动。”一位来自德国的参赛者说，“这并不是所有的人都在从事的运动。这正是龙舟队的团队精神如此高昂的原因之一，每个人都觉得自己在做一件很特别的事。”那么粽子呢？“喔，我觉得它不难吃。”他说，“那是一种需要后天培养的品味。我只是还没培养出来罢了。”

The Dragon Boat Festival ,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the

very popular.The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on.You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan.He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a

river.Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

端午节(Dragon Boat Festival)

The Dragon Boat Festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(阴历).It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals.The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家)named Chu Yuan(屈原)who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚怀王)during the Warring States period.As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主).Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名誉的).Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢复)the emperor's favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨罗江)in the Hunan Province(湖南省).Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的)and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him.This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats.These races not only symbolize the people's attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德)of cooperation and teamwork.Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of dumpling called Tzungtzu(粽子).When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品)to their dead hero.They wrapped(包)rice in bamboo leaves(粽叶), and stuffed(填满)it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival.Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充满危险的)period.Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(抚养), and people tend to concentrate their efforts during this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune.The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(卫生)are stressed(着重, 强调).Most families hang calamus(菖蒲)and artemisia(艾草)above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.Ancient folk medicines(民间药物)such as realgar(雄黄酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day.This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官).The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除)the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.The sachets(Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包)are very popular with children and they vie(竞争)with each other to collect as many as possible.Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao.Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(复杂的)and beautiful embroidery(刺绣)that adorns(装饰)them.The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event.It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage

五一的由来

international Labor Days call 51 sections, May 1 in every year.It is the whole world labor common festival of the people.五一国际劳动节简称五一节，在每年的5月1日。它是全世界劳动人民的共同节日。

As for“51 causes of the section”s are such:

关于“五一节的由来”是这样的：

This stanza comes from the worker’s big strike of American Chicago.On May 1 in 1886, Chicago of 20 in order to fight for practicing eight hours to work to make but hold the big strike, many ten thousand workerses pass by hard of bloodshed conflict, acquired the victory finally.For memorial this time the socialist that the worker’s one who exercise, July 14 in 1889, from all countries Marxist call represents the conference, Parisian solemn and impressive open in France.On the conference, attend meeting to represent the consistent approval:Common festival that May 1 settles for the international proletariat.This resolution gets the international community, the worker responds to actively.On May 1 in 1890, the working class of Euro-American all countries leads off to go into the street, holding the grand demonstration and holding a meeting, fighting for the legal rights.From now on, every time round this international community labors the people to all want the catcall, parade, to show to celebrate.此节源于美国芝加哥的工人大罢工。1886年5月1日，芝加哥的20 多万工人为争取实行八小时工作制而举行大罢工，经过艰苦的流血斗争，终于获得了胜利。为纪念这次工人运动，1889年7月14日，由各国马克思主义者召集的社会主义者代表大会，在法国巴黎隆重开幕。大会上，与会代表一致同意：把5月1日定为国际无产阶级的共同节日。这一

一决议得到世界各国工人的积极响应。1890年5月1日，欧美各国的工人阶级率先走上街头，举行盛大的示威游行与集会，争取合法权益。从此，每逢这一天世界各国的劳动人民都要集会、游行，以示庆祝。

The Chinese people celebrate the activity of the Labor Day and can trace back to to 1918.Is a year, etc.of some knowledge members of revolution at Shanghai, Suzhou ground sends forth to introduce toward crowd“51” of handbill.On May 1 in 1920, worker’s crowd of etc.of Peking, Shanghai, Guangzhou city goes into the street to hold the huge parade of threatening force and hold a meeting.After new China establish, our country in December of 1949 wi

A Bite of China(Chinese: 舌尖上的中国;pinyin: Shéjiān shàng de Zhōngguó)is a 2012 Chinese documentary television series on the history of food, eating, and cooking in China ucing Chinese food culture to those unfamiliar with local cuisine.this seven-episode documentary series introduces the history and story behind foods of various kinds in more than 60 locations all around China.[3] The documentary has also been actively encouraged as a means of introducing Chinese food culture to those unfamiliar with local cuisine.热播纪录片《舌尖上的中国》不仅展现了各种中式美味佳肴，同时也深入探讨了诸多美食所体现出的处世哲学和社会变迁。

Helmed by award-winning documentary maker Chen Xiaoqing, A Bite of China is filled with mouthwatering images of food ranging from haute cuisine to local delicacies, the documentary captures the beautiful and refined process of food-making.The program is sure to attract both food buffs and ordinary audiences.《舌尖上的中国》由曾拿过大奖的纪录片制作人陈晓卿执导，从珍馐佳肴到地方小吃，用影像为观众呈现出各种令人垂涎欲滴的食物，同时该纪录片也用镜头记录下各种菜肴精致悦目的制作过程，理所当然地会吸引美食家以及普通观众的关注。

Television is filled with food these days, especially introductions by top-notch chefs and close looks at the complicated and refined cooking processes of haute cuisine, Chen says.陈晓卿表示，如今电视上充斥着各色美食，尤其是一些顶级大厨的推荐菜式和近距离观察高级菜肴复杂精细的烹饪过程。

“We have some appetite-boosting shots of food-making, but how to create dishes is only one aspect of food culture,” Chen says.“如今有许多令人食欲大增的美食节目，但如何做菜只是我们饮食文化中的一方面。”陈晓卿说。

“The program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements related to dishes, such as eating habits and the ethics of eating.” “我们的节目则别出心裁，试图呈现出更多有关菜肴的文化元素，如饮食习惯和饮食道德。”

Each episode lasts 50 minutes.Themes range from ingredients to preserved food.该片每集时长50分钟，主题涵盖了从食材到腌制品等各个方面。

One episode, for example, centers on the staple foods.举例来说，有一集就主要讲述了主食。

It recounts China`s history of paddy cultivation to explain why rice is the mainstay of the southern Chinese diet, while wheat flour is the foundation of the northern diet.But it goes further to break down every staple food into its various styles, such as the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region`s naan(flat bread)and Jiangsu province`s Huangqiao sesame cakes, both of which fall under the wheat category.这一集通过追溯水稻种植的历史，解释了为何南方人的主食是米饭，而北方人则是面食。但所有主食又被进一步细分为不同类别，比如新疆维吾尔族自治区的馕和江苏省的黄桥烧饼都被归入面食类。

The bonus is, the show is not only about dishes.Every episode will highlight different people, who will tell stories about their adventures with food.这部纪录片带给我们的额外惊喜是，它并不仅仅展现美食。每一集都聚焦于不同的人群，讲述着人们和食物的美食奇遇。

“As a saying goes, `you are what you eat`,” Chen says.“Food is always connected with people.Behind the documentary`s eye-popping and mouthwatering images are personal stories that reflect people`s living situations and attitudes.That`s another component that makes it distinctive.” “俗话说，‘人如其食’。”陈晓卿说，“食物总是与人联系在一起。纪录片里那些生动鲜活、令人垂涎的影像背后，是反映了人们生活环境和生活态度的亲身经历。这也是该片的独特元素之一。”

To get enough good stories, the production team spent three months doing research and interviews in about 60 cities before they started shooting last July.Filming lasted about nine months.为了获取足够的优秀素材，制作团队于去年七月开始拍摄之前，花了三个月时间，走遍大约60座城市进行调查采访。拍摄过程长达9个月。

An episode about pickles, for instance, revolves around a white-collar woman in Beijing, who returns to her hometown in Jilin province and makes pickles for the first time for her lonely mother.例如，在讲述腌制食品的一集中，故事围绕一位北京白领女性展开。女孩回到吉林老家，第一次为孤单的母亲腌制泡菜。

Another episode captures joyful moments of sons and daughters making New Year cakes(rice pudding)after they return home from various metropolises to celebrate with their parents, who have been staying in their hometown in Zhejiang province.另一集则记录了子女们在纷纷从各大城市返回浙江老家同父母一起过年、制作年糕的美好时刻。

A Bite of China captures social transformations while presenting food cultures, such as showing the dispersion of extended families that leave the elderly in their hometowns while other members work outside-cases in which food serves as reminders of happy times and centerpieces of reunions.《舌尖上的中国》在展现美食文化的同时，也捕捉到了社会的变革，例如大家庭中成员分散在各处，大家都在外工作，留下空巢老人在家乡生活。这种情况下，美食可以提醒人们去追忆美好时光，也成为家庭团聚时的餐桌佳品。

The storyline development went smoothly, but problems arose in recording the cooking process, Chen says.陈晓卿说，尽管故事情节发展自然流畅，而在录制烹饪过程时还是出现了许多问题。

The camera had to be placed close to food that was being fried, stewed and simmered to capture vivid imagery.为了捕捉到生动的画面，摄像机必须放置在或炸、或蒸、或炖的食物旁边。

The camera operators had to observe the scenes and reposition their cameras several times to keep from being splashed with oil.摄像师们则必须密切观察现场，多次调整摄像机的位置，以免溅到油。

Chen says the seven episodes might not be enough to capture the glory of Chinese food culture.He`s planning a second and third installment.陈晓卿说，仅仅七集的纪录片也许不足以展现中国饮食文化的辉煌成就。他正在筹备拍摄第二、三部续集。

There are many TV programs on Chinese cuisines, but few are like A Bite of China.The latest seven-part high-definition documentary offers insights into the geographical, historical and cultural dimensions of what Chinese eat.Filled with mouthwatering images of food ranging from haute cuisine to local delicacies, the docu captures the beautiful and refined process of food-making.The program is sure to attract both food buffs and ordinary audiences.The bonus is, the show is not only about dishes.Every episode will highlight different people, who will tell stories about their adventures with food.A Bite of China 《就是舌尖上的中国》的官方翻译。a
