端午节的由来的英语作文（20篇）

农历五月初五为端午节，也称端阳节。是日清晨，家家户户门头插柳枝，有为屈原招魂和避瘟疫之意。小孩手腕系五色棉线或丝线绳，身佩香囊荷包，并在口、鼻、耳边涂抹雄黄酒，相传这样可以避五毒（即蛇、蝎、壁虎、蟾蜍、蜈蚣）。武威有五月端午穿出来”的说法，男女青少年身着时兴的夏装，尽情游玩。青年妇女讲究绣香草荷包，缀上流苏，赠送亲友。旧时，未出嫁的姑娘将荷包带在衣襟或系在发辫上，诱人摘取，如不被人摘去，便会自惭貌丑。是日，家家吃粽子或油饼子卷糕，亲友间相互馈送。下午，城乡居民成群结伴，游览寺庙，旧时游海子，现在海水干涸，庙宇也毁于地震，改游文庙、古钟楼、雷台、海藏公园、西郊公园等。小孩到野外攀树折枝，编制柳帽，以预防暑气。

端午小长假，寻了个山清水秀的去处——唐县全胜峡。

全胜峡，在诸多风景名胜之中，或许属于名不见经传，不过我的兴致却很高，全胜峡嘛——对于名字中有个“全”字的人来说，多么吉祥的噱头啊?

这是典型的喀斯特地貌，山奇水秀，若是水再多些，真可称做“北方桂林”了。

停下车，徒步过“石门”拾级而上后，首先进入的就是遮天蔽日的大峡谷，两侧壁立千仞，高耸云端，中间峡谷悠长，溪水潺潺，好个清凉的所在!

早有人说：“有山无水，枯燥;有水无山，单调;有山有水，绝妙!”尤其在现今这个普遍缺水的北方，全胜峡的水，更加显得难能可贵了。旷谷之下，听泉水叮咚，闻溪水潺潺，赏飞瀑喧哗，皆是不错的耳福。

若是细致之人，更可仔细琢磨那巧夺天工的乳岩壁画，千姿百态，栩栩动人。

行走在全胜峡悠长的山路上，俨然已置身另一个世界，城市的喧嚣，生活的负累，工作的繁重，家务的琐碎俱皆抛诸脑后，留在身上的，是闲云野鹤的恬淡，是心灵放逐的自然，是超脱情感的释然。

登上山巅，更加豁然开朗。“荡胸生层云”“一览众山小”的感觉，悄然而至。

It is widely noted that lots of traditional culture is disappearing along

with the development of technology. Many ancient architectures and traditional

ways of living have been deserted. It seems that the traditional culture and

craftsmanship will be replaced in this modern era.

The following reasons can account for the above phenomenon. Firstly,

traditional technologies are always considered ineffective while the new

sciences are always highly efficient, because modern science and technology

facilitate both our daily and academic life a lot, with which we can save much

money and time. Secondly, it is costly to protect the traditional culture,

especially the maintenance and repair of the historical buildings.

In my opinion, although traditional culture is an ancient heritage, it

couldnt keep pace with the development of society. It is the tide of history

that the traditional culture and technology will no doubt be eliminated in the

end.

端午节的意义

农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、五月节、艾节、端五、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的。端午节是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天，家家户户都悬钟馗像，挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟，吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，游百病，佩香囊，备牲醴。

端午节的第一个意义就是纪念历史上伟大的民族诗人屈原。屈原，名平，是战国时代的楚国人，生于楚威王五年夏历正月初七，或谓生于楚宣王二十七年，卒于楚襄王九年。

端午节的第二个意义是伍子胥的忌辰。伍子胥名员，楚国人，父兄均为楚王所杀，后来子胥弃暗投明，奔向吴国，助吴伐楚，五战而入楚都郢城。当时楚平王已死，子胥掘墓鞭尸三百，以报杀父兄之仇。吴王阖庐死后，其子夫差继位，吴军士气高昂，百战百胜，越国大败，越王勾践请和，夫差许之。子胥建议，应彻底消灭越国，夫差不听，吴国大宰，受越国贿赂，谗言陷害子胥，夫差信之，赐子胥宝剑，子胥以此死。子胥本为忠良，视死如归，在死前对邻舍人说："我死后，将我眼睛挖出悬挂在吴京之东门上，以看越国部队入城灭吴。"便自刎而死，夫差闻言大怒，令取子胥之尸体装在皮革里于五月五日投入大江，因此相传端午节亦为纪念伍子胥之日。

端午节第三个意义是为纪念东汉孝女曹娥救父投江而死。曹娥是东汉上虞人，父亲溺于江中，数日不见尸体，当时孝女曹娥年仅十四岁，昼夜沿江号哭。过了十七天，在五月五日也投江，五日后抱出父尸。就此传为神话，继而相传至县府知事，令度尚为之立碑，让他的弟子邯郸淳作诔辞颂扬。孝女曹娥之墓，在今浙江绍兴，后传曹娥碑为晋王义所书。后人为纪念曹娥的孝节，在曹娥投江之处兴建曹娥庙，她所居住的村镇改名为曹娥镇，曹娥殉父之处定名为曹娥江。

端午节第四个意义是纪念现代革命女诗人秋瑾。秋瑾是六月五日殉国，后人为敬仰其诗，复哀其忠勇事迹，乃与诗人节合并举行纪念，而诗人节亦因纪念爱国诗人屈原而定为端午节。秋瑾字睿卿竞雄，号鉴湖女侠，小字玉姑，浙江绍兴人，幼年擅长诗、词、歌、赋，且喜骑马击剑，有花木兰、秦良玉在世之称。28岁时参加革命，影响极大，预谋起义，开会时为清兵所捕，不屈，于光绪三十三年六月五日在绍兴轩亨口英勇就义。

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double FifthFestival, is celebrated on May 5th on lunarcalendar.It is a folk festival widely spread with ahistory of over 2,000 years, and is one of the mostimportant Chinese festivals as well. There are variouscelebrating activities on that day, among which the customs of eating rice dumplings anddragon boat racing are quite important.There are many legends on the origin of the DragonBoat Festival.Some people think it is to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan, while others say it isto be in honour of Wu Zixu, a famous general during the Warring States period. However, thelegend of Qu Yuan spreads most widely. People appreciate highly the noble sentiment andprominent talent of this patriotic poet and are very sympathetic with the ending that hecommitted suicide by drowning himself in a river.

端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)，又称重五节，于每年农历五月初五庆祝。 这是广泛流传2000多年的民间节日，也是中国最重要的节日之一。端午节当天举行各种庆祝活动，吃粽子和赛龙舟(dragon boat racing)是其中的重要习俗。关于端午节的起源，有很多传说。一部分人认为端午节是为了纪念诗人屈原，另一部分人则认为是为了纪念战国时期的著名将领伍子胥。然而，屈原的传说流传最广。人们非常欣赏这位爱国诗人的高尚情操和出众才华，更对他投江自尽的结局深表同情。

我国有许许多多的传统节日，其中我最喜欢的节日是端午节。

关于端午节，大家知道它的传统文化吗？据说战国时期楚国人屈原，他为人正直，忧国忧民，一心致力于国家。但是楚怀王昏庸无道，将忠君爱民的屈原放逐。最终，屈原在悲愤绝望中于五月初五投汨罗江而死，人们为了纪念他，才有了端午节。

五月初五到了，我早早地起来了，看见妈妈正在厨房忙着什么，好奇的我走进厨房，发现妈妈正在包粽子。盆里的小糯米白白的，摸起来软软的，像一个个娃娃在盆子里呼呼睡大觉，非常可爱！粽叶绿油油的，长长的像一条长长的绿丝。我兴奋地说：“妈妈，我也要包粽子。”妈妈笑着说：“好，好，好！”说完递给我一个粽叶。

我拿起一片粽叶发放在手中，把粽叶的一角轻轻的折了起来，变成了一个三角形，拿起了一个勺子，轻轻的舀了一点儿糯米放进了三角形里。可是我刚刚放进去，一不小心没有把粽叶捏好，糯米像一个调皮的娃娃顺着棕叶坐着滑梯滑落下来。我皱皱眉说：“哎呀，这个小娃娃可真调皮。”没有办法，我只好又把粽叶铺开，把糯米弄掉，心想，这次我可要小心啦！我重新把粽叶折成一个三角形，这次裹得更紧。我小心地用勺子又舀了一点糯米放进了粽叶里，把粽叶另一头卷了过来，又卷了好几圈，可是这还不算一个完整的粽子，我又拿起一根小绳子缠来缠去的，可是总也缠不好。我苦着脸拿粽子拿去问妈妈：“妈妈，我不会缠粽子，你能教一下我吗？”妈妈叫我站在旁边看着她做，她缠得非常的细心，我认真看着，不一会儿我就学会了，做了好几个粽子。

粽子煮好了，我迫不及待地剥开那外面青绿色的粽叶，露出乳白色的糯米，它就像一个雪白的胖娃娃，可爱极啦！我咬了一口，真好吃，软软的，糯糯的。

我吃着自己包的粽子，觉得不仅收获了动手的快乐，还收获了愉快的心情，这真是一个难忘的端午节呀！

“五月五，是端阳。插艾叶，戴香囊。吃粽子，撒白糖。龙船下水喜洋洋”。每年农历五月初五为端午节，又称端阳节、午日节、艾节、端午、重午、午日、夏节。虽然名称各不同，但各地人民过节的习俗是相同的，端午节就是我国二千多年的旧习俗，每到这一天家家户户都悬钟馗像，挂艾叶菖蒲，赛龙舟；吃粽子，饮雄黄酒，佩香囊，游百病。

端午节是我国纪念屈原的日子。屈原，这就是春秋战国时期，楚怀王的一位大臣，屈原很忠良，所以楚怀王很喜欢他，还有一位很嫉妒屈原，便用阴谋来害他，这就是楚怀王渐渐不信任他了。有一次，秦国要跟楚国与好，屈原仔细分析，知道了秦王的阴谋，便冒着生命危险去告诉楚王，楚王不但不听，还把他释放到远离他乡的地方。当楚王刚到秦国就被擒住，他后悔当时不听屈原的话，因气大而死，屈原当得知国家快灭亡时，他不忍再看下去了，写了最后一首爱国诗，便抱着石头跳进汨罗江，当地人知道后，赶紧划船去打捞屈原的遗体，有些人向江中扔鸡蛋、粽子，倒雄黄酒，全都是为了不让鱼虾不吃屈原的遗体；赛龙舟就是因为当时打捞屈原遗体的原因。不仅，端午节有它的历史还有一些食俗与风俗。

端午又称重午，许多习俗也与“五”这个数字联系在一起。用红、黄、蓝、白、黑，五色丝线系在儿童脖颈、手腕或足踝上称为“长命缕”。各家要插“五端”：菖蒲、艾草、石榴花、蒜头、龙船花。

端午节流行于汉、壮、布依、侗、土家、仡佬等民族地区。

南方过端午节要吃五黄：黄鱼、黄瓜、咸鸭蛋黄、黄豆瓣包的粽子、雄黄酒。无论南方北方，这一天还要用雄黄水在儿童的额头上画个“王”字，还要佩带五颜六色的香囊。

端午节就是纪念爱国诗人———屈原的忠良。

一年一度的端午节即将来临，今天在我们保利华都小区举行了包粽子比赛。端午节前夕，为了弘扬民族精神，传承中华传统文化，比赛在保利华都的十二生肖广场门前举行。怀着不同的目地，我和外公一同来到了比赛现场。

我外公是个包粽子的行家，他打算来参加比赛获得免费旅游的奖励。我觉得这样的比赛很有趣，就来给我外公当帮手。像我一样来当帮手的人很少，几乎都是大人。十二生肖广场都挤满了人，有老人，年轻人，小孩。报名参赛的人也很多，每六个人一组，外公被分在第二组。赛场中的一张条形桌子上面，分左右摆放着六盆洗净的糯米，六叠粽叶和六束扎绳。

比赛的规则和要求都很简单，两人一组同时开始，在三分钟时间内包好粽子数量多一方获胜，如果完成的数量一样多，则以先完成最后一个的一方获胜。第一场出场比赛的六个大人，他们的手脚都很麻利，用粽叶造型，用勺子填料，用绳子捆扎起来，有条不絮。时间只过了一分钟，在左边那位奶奶已经包好了两个粽子，右边的那位爷爷稍微落后了一点点。高个子的大妈只见自己落了后，她不甘示弱，立即加快了速度，迎头追赶。最后，那位爷爷共包了七个，高个子大妈包了六个。

第二组比赛，外公终于可以上场，比赛开始，不一会时间外公就包了个粽子，已经是第二个了，外公拿了两片粽叶卷成了一个喇叭形状后，左手拿着卷好的粽叶，右手放了两勺米，然后一包小粽子就出来了。外公又赶紧把绳子的一头用牙齿咬住，另一头围着粽子绕了两圈，一用力，绳子就断了。外公开始有点手忙脚乱了，他潜心贯注，心会神凝，成了包粽子的高手。我站在一边不仅帮忙，还要加油，他很快调整了过来。第二轮比赛结束了，外公本来可以包八个粽子的，可是最后几秒钟，线没有捆好，只有七个粽子。

最后的评分开始了，工作人员把包好了的粽子给煮了，想让大家也尝尝谁做的最好吃，吃到外公包的粽子，好香啊！

尽管外公没能获得第一名，但是友谊第一，比赛第二。赛场里里外外，前前后后，选手们个个拿出自己最真实的本领。

比赛很快结束了，我们久久不愿离去，还在回味着这次比赛过程呢。这次活动不但让我们收获到了快乐，又让我看到邻居们才华外，加深街坊之间的感情，而且还让我们感受到端午节的习俗，真是一举多得啊！

Every child is surrounded by the deep mother love. However, we often turn a

blind eye to the love. One day I deeply felt the love.

One day I hurried home for lunch after school, because there would be an exam

in the afternoon and I had expected to go back to school early to prepare for

the exam. But when I got home, the lunch was not ready yet. I felt unhappy. When

the dishes were served, I forund none I like. I ran out of my house angrily and

wanderde on the street for a while,hungry. Then I walked to school.

When I got into the classroom, I saw a lunch box on my desk. One classmate

told me that it was my mother ther that had brought it here.After opening the

box, I found my favorite food inside. My eyes was moist with tears.

Mother gave me her love without asking for return, How deep mother love

is!

I,m so glad to receive your letter, in which you wanted to know about the

Dragon Boat Festival in China.

I feel honored to tell you about it. Celebrated on May 5th in the lunar

calendar, it is a folk festival having a history of more than two thousand

years. Also, it is one of the most important festivals in China.

As for the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many beautiful

legends, of which the story about Qu Yuan is most widely accepted. Qu Yuan, a

Chinese poet who loved his country deeply, drowned himself in the Miluo River

after his country’s being defeated. To honor him, people in China hold various

activities every year, including eating zongzi and dragon boat racing.

I hope you can come to China to enjoy it for yourself.

“咚咚咚！锵锵锵！呼啊呼啊！”你一定认为这是在拆什么东西吧。我告诉你：“NO！这是我们在参加端午节赛龙舟活动。”什么？你不信？那我就带你去看看吧！我们的比赛地点在福州长乐市三溪村，传说端午节赛龙舟、吃粽子是为了纪念战国时代楚国诗人屈原，他在五月初五这天投汨罗江自尽殉国。由于三溪村端午节赛龙舟的比赛历史悠久，比赛还没开始，岸边就已经是人山人海，热闹非凡了。

我看到这情形，一下子血液沸腾、激动万分，也忽然紧张起来：这是怎样的比赛啊，这么多人这么早就赶来看了？快快开始吧！放眼溪里，已有几艘龙舟开始练习了：有的在练习加速；有的在练习控制方向；有的在练习整齐划一的节奏，还有的在练习怎样增加士气。比赛马上开始了，我们一家三口也穿上救生衣参加了赛龙舟比赛，我们登上了“祥龙号”，哈，我好激动啊——我竟然也能成为一名龙舟赛手，多么光荣啊！我暗暗告诉自己：一定要好好发挥！我们的桨开始跟着手转了起来。哗啦啦！啪！溅起的水花仿佛雨点般落到船上“安家”。我飞快地拿起勺子，手忙脚乱地把这些“入侵者”赶走了，因为爸爸告诉我船上的水会增加重量，减慢船速。

这时，有一艘龙舟赶了上来，大家看见了，手里的桨似风车似地转地更快了，我们的锣更响了、桨更快了、心更齐了，我跟着叔叔大伯们大声地呐喊：“嘿，呦，嘿，呦！”我忽然发现我的`声音竟然也能这么响亮！我们的呐喊声汇成一片，淹没了水花声，和着锣鼓声，响彻长空！听见了吗？那声音是那么振奋人心！在我们齐心协力下，那艘龙舟被我们远远地甩到了后面，就这样，我们使出了看家的本领，吃奶的劲，在这次的龙舟赛上，越划越勇，超过了所有的对手，获得了第一名！虽然满身是水，虽然嗓子喊哑了，虽然手臂都划疼了，但我们，十分开心。这次激烈的龙舟赛，让我真切地懂得了什么叫做团队的合作精神，只要人心会齐，就会显示出无穷的力量。

Since its rise, the Internet has been playing a more and more important

role in our daily life. It brings tremendous convenience and efficiency to our

lives. Online shopping is also a new rising thing brought by the Internet. Since

its increasing developing speed, some people think that online shopping will

replace traditional shopping. However, as far as I am concerned, it wont happen

in a short time.

Although online shopping is really very convenient, there are still some

strong points of traditional shopping which cannot be replaced by online

shopping. Firstly, online shopping lacks the intuitional impression of goods.

Sometimes the photos offered by the sellers are beautified with softwares, and

you will be disappointed to find the actual item is far from your expectation.

Secondly, returning goods in online shopping is quite troublesome, and sometimes

you only can achieve your goal at the cost of the payment of the postage by

yourself. Finally, there are too many fake products and cheats in online

shopping, and the quality of goods cannot be guaranteed as those in traditional

shops.

According to the points above, online shopping still needs some

improvements to totally replace the functions of traditional shopping. However,

the potential of online business is so huge that it will certainly take a great

share in the trade market.

People often say that gold and silver are the most valuable things in the

world.But

I dont think so. In my opinion, to read books is more valuable than

anything else.

The old saying “To open a book is always helpful” clearly tells us how good

it is to read a book.

Books are our friends. They introduce us different kinds of knowledge. They

lead us down the road to success.

Books are our teachers. They teach us troth, science, literature, and

philosophy of life. Besides, they increase our knowledge, enlarge our

experience,strengthen our character and do many other things which we can not do

without them.

Books tell us what is good and what is evil. And only books can tell the

good from the bad.

Therefore to read more books is the best policy for our young students.

China had cause for a double celebration on Saturday after winning their

first ever swimming gold medal as well as setting a new world record in the

womens 400m medley.

Sun Yang sealed a place in Chinas Olympic history with an impressive swim

in the 400m freestyle final that was only 0.07 seconds off the world record to

take gold.

Defending Olympic champion Park Ta-Hwan was leading at the final turn, but

the 20-year-old Sun surged past his South Korean rival in the final length to

seal a place in Chinese Olympic history.

"The feeling is very nice, its beautiful. Its a big dream come true for

me," said Sun.

"Because its the Olympic Games, I felt a little bit nervous at the start,

and then at the end, I felt that I could get a medal."

Twenty minutes after Yang won Chinas maiden gold medal, 16-year-old Ye

Shiwen triumphed in the womens 400m medley, as well as breaking the world

record set in Beijing four years ago.

Ye rounded off a sparkling day in the pool for China as she claimed the

title with a breathtaking final lap of 28.93 seconds.

"I thought at the 200 meters that the race was lost, but then I realized I

was in the top two or three and I was confident I could win on the last leg,"

said Ye.

"I dreamed of winning the gold medal, but I never ever expected to break a

world record, Im overwhelmed."

Before I went to middle school, I lived with my grandparents. At that time,

I stayed in the country, which was the most beautiful place for me. Early in the

morning, I walked along the country road, appreciating the fresh air. We raised

a little dog. He was my best friend, and he accompanied me all the time. No

matter what I did and where I went, the little dog was with me and I loved him

so much. Sometimes I would pick up the fruit in the garden, sometimes I would

catch the fish in the clear river. It was such a happy childhood for me that I

will never forget.

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earths

surface. Most of it， however， is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also，

some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact， less than one percent is left

for the use of people， animals and plant life. All through history men have

tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is

becoming scarce， but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of

people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in

the production of things such as steel， petroleum， paper and rubber and so on.

Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year

2003. If they are correct， we must find new ways of saving it or producing it.

Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their

information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming

polluted. Deep wells are also being dug， and rain water is being collected in

huge artificial lakes. In one way or another， they hope to provide enough water

to satisfy the needs of their people.
