端午节的由来的英语作文（精品20篇）

In China, Mid-autumn Day is considered to be a symbol of family reunion. On

this day, all the family members gather together at home to celebrate this

special occasion. Last year, I could not celebrate the festival with my family

because I was in university. However, this special day left a deep impression on

me.

I still remember the atmosphere of that evening. All the students who could

not go back home assembled in our classroom, having a party to celebrate this

traditional festival. We tried our best to show our own enthusiasm. As an ethnic

minority, I performed a peacock dance, which received warm applause. After the

two-hour party, we went out to the playground and sat together to appreciate the

moon because it is a tradition on Mid-autumn Day. (www.fwsir.com)We ate moon

cakes, played cards, and listened to romantic poems recited by one of our

classmates. In that harmonious atmosphere, nobody felt lonely or homesick even

though we were far away from our homes

Thanks to our classmates, I experienced such a colorful and interesting

Mid-autumn Day at my university. Thus, I learned to value all the festivals I

spent during my university life.

What is the definition of success? I believe different people will have

different opinions about it. If anyone asks me what is success for me, I will

tell him progress is success for me. I can have small goal or great aim in my

whole life. If the goal what I set is too large for me, I will not taste the

feeling of success. Or I always set small goals, so I will feel success all the

time, which may make me become autophilia and without ambitions. Therefore, I

think if I can be better than yesterday or last time, then I am successful.

There are many traditional festivals, such as Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival China.

But I like best is in the traditional festivals -- the Dragon Boat festival. The Dragon Boat Festival custom is to eat dumplings. Come to the Dragon Boat Festival, each and every family began to busy zongzi, adults take two Take Ha together, and then add the rice and other spices, pack into a three-dimensional triangle, then string wrapped tight. There are a lot of, dumplings taste such as: sugar, meat stuffing, add egg yolk and so on Even the shape of zongzi is various, such as: round, triangle.

Let me see see things in a blur. After a while, my mother put the package dumplings and steamed, after half an hour, my mother put the dumplings on the table, I saw the dumplings like a fat baby, I am unable to hold oneself back to pick up a zongzi, poke it leaves, I saw inside the rice from the color change to yellow color, I be overcome by ones feelings. A taste, ah! Delicious unspeakable.

Suddenly, I heard outside came the waves of "hey hey", "Hey" slogan, I quickly looked out of the window, I saw the dragon boat on a person in the drum, there are eight people in the oars, and the players were regularly shouting, rowing, one and all full of vigor and vitality, and be in fine Fig. See that a boat like a branch launch out of the arrow as rushed forward. On the shore of the cheerleaders are loudly of shout; "cheer", "add oil"! Dragon heard to shout "refueling" seems to be faster.

Ah! The Dragon Boat Festival can eat the delicious dumplings, but also can watch wonderful dragon boat race, is really fun! I really hope that every day is the festival that is good!

农历五月初五，俗称“端午节”。“五”与“午”通，“五”又为阳数，故端午又名端五、重五、端阳、中天等，它是我国汉族人民的传统节日。这一天必不可少的活动逐渐演变为：吃粽子，赛龙舟，挂菖蒲、艾叶，薰苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒。据说，吃粽子和赛龙舟，是为了纪念屈原，所以解放后曾把端午节定名为“诗人节”，以纪念屈原。至于挂菖蒲、艾叶，熏苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒，则据说是为了压邪。尽管端午节年年过，但是关于端午节的来历，却不甚清楚，归纳起来，大致有以下诸说。

端午节的来历之一：纪念屈原说。此说最早出自南朝梁代吴均《续齐谐记》和北周宗惊《荆楚岁时记》的记载。据说，屈原于五月初五自投汩罗江，死后为蚊龙所困，世人哀之，每于此日投五色丝粽子于水中，以驱蛟龙。又传，屈原投汩罗江后，当地百姓闻讯马上划船捞救，一直行至洞庭湖，终不见屈原的尸体。那时，恰逢雨天，湖面上的小舟一起汇集在岸边的亭子旁。当人们得知是打捞贤臣屈大夫时，再次冒雨出动，争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。看来，端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟与纪念屈原相关，有唐代文秀《端午》诗为证；“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原。堪笑楚江空渺渺，不能洗得直臣冤。”

I am a college student, this is my fourth year in the college, which means

that I will graduate soon. Nowadays, many of my classmates have taken the action

to find the job interview, while I tell myself to calm down, actually, I have no

idea about my future, so I haven’t taken the action.

When the graduate season comes, students have to worry about their jobs,

for me, I have many annoyances, first, I don’t know which city should I go. On

the one hand, I want to stay in the present city that I live, because I have

many college students here, I can fight my career with them, we can also take a

drink when we have time. But on the other hand, if I want to stay in this city,

it means I have to be far away from home. I want to stay with my family, my

parents want to see me and I want to accompany them, working at my hometown is a

perfect idea for me. Now I still don’t know how to choose, once I have made the

decision, I have to give up something.

Before I make the best choice for me, i won’t find the job interview.

Depending on personal experience, personality type and emotional concern,

we find that some people hold the idea of living in the country, while others

prefer living in the city. In my opinion, I prefer the city life, though it has

advantages and disadvantages.

First of all, city life is very colorful. City is the center of the

surrounding area. So, it is also the most booming place having the best things.

There are many great things and wonderful activities in the city, while there

isn’t in the country. For example, there are KFC, wonderful shopping mall,

delicious food from various places, dancing club, different kinds of activities

and so on. We can also learn the culture from all the countries. Despite city

life is so wonderful, it still has many disadvantages. Nowadays, with the

improvement of people’s living standard, people have more cars and more people

come to city, and then the city becomes more and more crowd. As a result,

traffic jam emerges, which makes great inconvenience for people to go out.

What’s worse, the air pollution becomes serious day by day, which is bad for

people’s health.

To sum up, every coin has two sides. Living in the city also has good side

and bad aspect. Whether like living in city or not depends on individual

thinking. As myself, I like living in city though I know the disadvantage of

living in city.

The human race has entered a completely new stage in its history,along with

the advance of the society and the increaceingly rapid economic globalization

and urbanization, which resulted in the phenomenon that we are accustomed to

living a very fast rhythm lifestyle,ignoring the Chinese traditional

culture.

It is universally acknowledged that Chinese culture has a history of more

than two thousand years, which once had great influence on the world, such as

Japan, South Korea and other Asian and European countries. As one of the four

ancient civilizations,China creates many splendid cultures,such as the four

ancient Chinese inventions,which benefited human society in the history.

Although China risks copying the Western lifestyle’s worst aspects,

especially of unhealthy eating and drinking,Which once gave rise to many

problems.Fortunately,Chinese begin to realize the importance of Chinese

traditional culture.Such examples might be given easily,Chinese traditional

culture was added into our CET4 and CET6 ,which help us get hold of it

better.

During weekdays, I am busy, because I must go to school. I usually get up

at 6:30 a.m.. And then I do some washing. After that, I will have my breakfast

at 6:50. I usually go to school at 7:15. Now, I can go to school and come home

by myself. I have four classes in the morning and three in the afternoon. I have

my lunch at home. I study Chinese, math, English and some other subjects at

school. At night, I can watch TV or play computer. But I have to finish my

homework first. I usually go to bed at 10:00 p.m..

每年农历五月初五为端午节。端午节是我国民间的传统节日，端午节又称重午节。关于端午节还有一道儿歌：“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。”

但是今天的端午节，更多是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。相传赛龙舟，就是为了捞救投汨罗江而死的爱国诗人屈原。把粽子投到江河，是为了不让鱼蛟虾蟹吃屈原的遗体。在这里，我给大家讲一个屈原的故事。相传春秋战国时期，中原大地以齐、楚、燕、韩、赵、魏、秦七国为雄，它们各国之间为争夺土地，使中原大地战火连天。

当时，屈原是楚国的左徒官，他劝楚怀王要仁治，不要听信小人谗言，可怀王不但不听，还听信谗言革职屈原。悲愤痛心的屈原，便写下了不朽的诗篇——《离骚》和《天问》。公元前278年，楚国被秦国攻破，屈原精神受到了极大的打击，面对国破家亡，百姓疾苦，自己却无能为力，于是在极度失望和痛苦中，抱石投入长江东边的汨罗江。

闻讯赶来的楚国百姓纷纷划船，到江中打捞屈原的尸体，并拿来了粽子投入江中喂鱼蛟虾蟹，让它们不要啃吃屈原的尸体。两千多年过去了，但诗人屈原的形象却依然留在人们心间。如今，每到农历五月初五，人们就要划龙舟，吃粽子，来纪念这位伟大的诗人。

当然，各地的风俗习惯不尽相同，但都要吃粽子、插艾叶、戴香包、赛龙舟。我们这儿除了上述的这些，还有送绿豆糕、吃绿豆糕的习惯。

我喜欢端午节。因为这天不仅仅能吃到粽子和绿豆糕，而且还能表达我们对伟大爱国诗人屈原的怀念。

In recent years, China’s food industry occurs security issus frequently,

which makes people worried and lose confidence. Food safety, related to the

people’s health, safety and healthy development of economy, is the major issue

of national stability and social development. Since the Sanlu Incident occurred

in 2008, the entire society increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It

was in this context that the food safety issue was referred to an unprecedented

level.

There are the following main issues in food security: using poor quality

raw materials in the food manufacturing process, adding toxic substances,

excessive use of food additives, abusing of chemical additives and so on. There

are many reasons to cause this problem, and regulators, producers and even

consumers share responsibilities. The entire society should try effort to avoid

food safety issues.

Our Librar is a busy place.It is open every day from8:00--12:00 in the

morning and from 1:30--5:30 in the after-noon,except on Sundays.

The library contains a large variety of books. in it you will find both

literary and scientific and technical books in Chinese and in foreign

languages.In this building too,are reading-rooms with newspapers and

magazines.Perhaps English books account for over a half of those in foreign

lanuages.

We often go there to look for books which we want to borrow or to read

articles which we like to consult.Our library provides all useful reading matter

and reference materials according to our needs.Although we do not subscribe to

any magazines or newspapers,we are well informed about the recent developments

and new trends in the world as well as in our country.The library plays an

important role in our college life.

Today, the world is learning mandarin. According to the report, there are

over one hundred million foreign people learning Chinese. Whats more, a lot of

foreign companies are having their workers master not only Chinese language, but

also the culture. Chinese dream influences so many people, which provides great

business chances and let the young people realize their dreams. Just as the

successful person said, the 19th century belonged to the UK, 20th century

belonged to America and the 21th century surely belonged to China, whether

people liked it or not. We need to master the chance and equip ourselves with

many skills, so that success will come at hand.

In the modern time, the growth of technology is increasingly developed.

More and more people don’t use their brains when there is no need to use other

instruments. Too much people use technology so that people are lazier and less

healthy than before. They rely on technology too much.

Some believe that modern technology shorten the distance of human. For

instance, people all use cellphone to call friends or family, or computer to

search information, or use QQ, MSN, twitter, blog etc. These modern instruments

shorten the distance between human.

However, others think that it’s just the reverse. Technology makes people

use less face-to-face communication. The contact in real life is less and less.

People do less interaction to each other. In the long term, people will get

depressed without enough communication.

As far as I’m concerned, modern technology provides convenience to people.

It makes people easily to get information. Only could we use it correctly, it

does much contribution to us.

母亲节起源于美国。1906年5月9日，美国费城的安娜·贾薇丝的母亲不幸去世，她悲痛万分。在次年母亲逝世周年忌日，安娜小姐组织了追思母亲的活动，并鼓励他人也以类似方式来表达对各自慈母的感激之情。此后，她到处游说并向社会各界呼吁，号召设立母亲节。她的呼吁获得热烈响应。1913年5月10日，美国参众两院通过决议案，由威尔逊总统签署公告，决定每年5月的第二个星期日为母亲节。这一举措引起世界各国纷纷仿效，至1948年安娜谢世时，已有43个国家设立了母亲节。

diseases in a year, and therefore they hang moxa and calamus and things like

that around the doors to ward off evil and diseases and pray for good luck.

有句话说得好；“当一个人总爱回想往事的时候，就证明这个人已经进入了老年。”不知怎的，这几年我老爱回想往事，尤其是童年发生的事情记忆尤深。这两天随手翻着日历，一看到端午节马上就要到来，心里不由浸洇出一些温馨的情愫来，昨天晚上几乎一整夜都沉在回忆里，想的都是家乡和儿时的那些事情。（这可能也是逐渐进入老年的缘故吧。）

由于我从小被父母亲从城市送往乡里交祖母抚养，我跟祖母的感情自然非同一般，这几年每逢端午节想得最多的，自然是我那慈祥可亲的老祖母。遥想当年端午节即将到来的前几天，祖母赶夜给我做各种各样的香布袋，有锁子型的，鸡心型的，莲花型的，还有娃娃扳脚，小老鼠偷油等等，然后是用五颜六色的蚕丝线，我们那里叫扎线，缠五色金钱。扎线一般是用来扎花用的，可经过奶奶的巧手把扎线缠在一枚大铜钱上，一会就变成了一枚煞是好看的五色金钱。这金钱用五色线穿做项链被奶奶挂上我的脖颈，成了第二天我向小伙伴们炫耀的珍贵物件。看着小伙伴们艳羡的目光，我自然很是骄傲。把他们领家来，自然会得到祖母馈赠给她们每人一个造型不同的香布袋。

接着便是包粽子。早几天，祖母就吩咐家人到北大河的苇塘里采下一大把宽宽的苇叶，然后从地里剪回一些细而韧的长草叶子，红枣江米，泡在和面用的大瓷盆里，包粽时，便将一张张苇叶抹平，包上糯米和蜜枣或花生仁，菱形的粽子包好之后，再抽出水里泡的草叶，一头用牙咬住，用另一头去缠那米粽。祖母的手巧的很，利利索索一会儿包一大堆粽子，我想跟着学包，可无论如何总是学不会。怕误了祖母的事，只有老实的坐在一旁，不眨眼的看着，遗憾的是我始终没有学会像祖母那样包粽子。那时祖母年轻，手脚灵活，总是一个人麻利把事情做完，而且老是惯着我，从不勉强我干什么，学什么。

端午的头天晚上，开始煮粽子，只一会儿时间，满屋里都是米的清香，以及苇叶草叶的特有的甜丝丝香气。从粽子一下锅，我就像一只小馋猫，总是围着锅台转，怎么也撵不走。祖母说，睡觉去吧，粽子得煮上一夜 ，明早才能吃哩！我犟着头说，我不瞌睡。

咕咕嘟嘟，粽子在锅里煮着，香味散发的越发的浓。在这浓郁的香气熏蒸下，我终于耐不住瞌睡，两眼皮开始打架。不知什么时候被祖母抱到床上。一睁眼，天却亮了。枕头边是祖母放在白瓷碗里的几只小巧的粽子，香喷喷的味道直往鼻孔里钻，也不管没有洗手洗脸，抓起来就撕开吃，那整个叫香啊！我想我这一生再也没有吃过那么香的粽子、祖母亲手包的粽子。尽管这以后我曾吃过胖等来生活广场卖的各种各样的粽子，但总吃不出来当年那粽子的味道。

吃过粽子，奶奶手里拿着一把镰刀，踮着一双缠过的小脚，要到后门外野地里去割艾草。我便急猴儿般三下五除二，穿衣穿鞋，小尾巴似地跟在祖母身后到猫狸沟去摘青杏。

端午时节，已经是仲夏季节，猫狸沟草木茂盛，沟两岸长满了毛桃和野杏树。鸟儿藏在树叶深处，高一声低一声欢快的鸣叫，甚至互相嬉戏，有时甚至猛不防随着祖母的镰头翻动还惊出一支肥肥的野兔来，嗖的一下子就窜没影踪了。不过小鸟们并不在乎惧怕我这个小小人伸手摘青杏或够毛桃，它们兀自在枝头闹腾嬉戏。猫狸沟北岸是大片的麦地，我们叫四十八亩，四十八亩的麦子或远处的麦子已经连成一片金黄。祖母说麦子料生割，谷子要长过。马上就要开镰收割麦子了，收了麦子就有好面馍吃。祖母在前边割艾草，我在贪馋的偷吃着青杏，酸的我直流哈喇子。

A fun-filled， pain-free lifestyle equaling happiness actually reduces their

chances of ever obtaining real happiness. As a result，many people avoid the very

attempts that are the source of true happiness.And the real happiness always

contains some pain .In the other hand， true happiness has nothing to do with

fun. All those who always have so much fun actually may not be happy at all.

I have a bitter experience. When I was a child， I lived a poor life，and I

had a happy and meaningful life in my childhood. And my parents were always

respecting each other. And now we have some money，and our life has improved a

lot. To tell the truth， it is a good thing. Unfortunately，My father always goes

out and takes part in the gambling activities. And my mother sometimes quarrels

with my father. I am extremely unhappy about it. I think money doesnt equal

happiness. And pain-free lifestyle also doesnt equal happiness. The real

happiness is that everyone loves each other， and does everything useful for our

society. Most of my classmates support me. But some of them think money is

everything. In my opinion，we cant do things without money. But money cant take

the place of everything，such as your life，your time and your happiness.

The Spring Festival is our Chinese nation from ancient to modern times, the

I grandfather calligraphy is quite a New Year couplets, all relatives, the house

is filled with grandpa wrote. The subsequent to the lady home, home to the lady

on the wall, see my work has been useless, I really felt flattered.

This year the Spring Festival, two aunt aunt, our three family members

In 2011, the greatest CEO of Apple company, Steve Jobs passed away. People

successful. The Pixar movie studio is popular around the world. Steves story

inspires the young people to fight for their dreams.

因为"五"与"午"通,所以端午节又名端五.另外端节,午日,重五,重五,地腊,中天等也是端午的别称,端午也是我国民间的三大传统节日之一.

"五月五,是端阳.插艾叶,戴香囊.吃粽子,撒白糖.龙舟下水喜洋洋."这是关于端午节的儿歌.

端午这天有很多的习俗,也与"五"这个数字联系在一起.比如用红黄蓝白黑五色丝线系在儿童的脖颈,手腕或足裸上,称为长命缕,我想是让儿童能长命百岁吧!端午节还要在小孩的额头上用雄黄画个"王"来避邪.

每到端午节,奶奶都要买许多艾草,蒜头,在中午12点时放在太阳底下晒,奶奶说:"这样的艾草和蒜头能消毒,避邪."还在家中用艾草熏.我想端午节的诸多习俗,也体现了人们对美好生活的向往,对下一代的希望吧!

[关于端午节的由来的作文

赛龙舟，是端午节的主要习俗。相传起源于古时楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去，许多人划船追赶拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹。之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体。竞渡之习，盛行于吴、越、楚。

其实 ，“龙舟竞渡”早在战国时代就有了。在急鼓声中划刻成龙形的独木舟，做竞渡游戏，以娱神与乐人，是祭仪中半宗教性、半娱乐性的节目。

后来，赛龙舟除纪念屈原之外，在各地人们还付予了不同的寓意。

浙地区划龙舟，兼有纪念当地出生的近代女民主革命家秋瑾的意义。夜龙船上，张灯结彩，来往穿梭，水上水下，情景动人，别具情趣。贵州苗族人民在农历五月二十五至二十八举行“龙船节”，以庆祝插秧胜利和预祝五谷丰登。云南傣族同胞则在泼水节赛龙舟，纪念古代英雄岩红窝。不同民族、不同地区，划龙舟的传说有所不同。直到今天在南方的不少临江河湖海的地区，每年端节都要举行富有自己特色的龙舟竞赛活动。

清乾隆二十九年(1736年)，台湾开始举行龙舟竞渡。当时台湾知府蒋元君曾在台南市法华寺半月池主持友谊赛。现在台湾每年五月五日都举行龙舟竞赛。在香港，也举行竞渡。

此外，划龙舟也先后传入邻国日本、越南等及英国。1980年，赛龙舟被列入中国国家体育比赛项目，并每年举行“屈原杯”龙舟赛。1991年6月16日(农历五月初五)，在屈原的第二故乡中国湖南岳阳市，举行首届国际龙舟节。在竞渡前，举行了既保存传统仪式又注入新的现代因素的“龙头祭”。 “龙头”被抬入屈子祠内，由运动员给龙头“上红”(披红带)后，主祭人宣读祭文，并为龙头“开光”(即点晴)。然后，参加祭龙的全体人员三鞠躬，龙头即被抬去汩罗江，奔向龙舟赛场。此次参加比赛、交易会和联欢活动的多达60余万人，可谓盛况空前。尔后，湖南便定期举办国际龙舟节。赛龙舟将盛传于世。
