This festival is to commemorate the death of QU Yuan，an upright and honest poet and statesman who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

　　The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

　　Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi （glutinous rice）。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves.

　　With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

　　端午節(jié)，也叫端午節(jié)，是在中國的農歷五月初五慶祝。這個節(jié)日是為了紀念屈原的逝世，屈原是一位正直正直的詩人和政治家，據(jù)說他是在河里溺水自殺的。

　　這個節(jié)日最重要的活動是龍舟比賽。它象征著人們試圖營救屈原。在現(xiàn)階段，這些比賽也顯示出合作和團隊合作的美德。

　　此外，節(jié)日還以吃粽子（糯米）為標志。粽子是用糯米填充不同的餡料，用竹葉或蘆葦葉包裹而成。

　　隨著時代的變遷，紀念館在接下來的一年里變成了一個遠離邪惡和疾病的時刻。人們會在前門掛上健康的草藥來清除房子的壞運氣。盡管這個節(jié)日的意義可能與過去有所不同，但它仍然讓觀者有機會一睹中國豐富文化遺產的一部分。
