一提起端午节，人们就会想起吃粽子，划龙舟。可是，同学们你们知到“端午”是什么意思，端午节的风俗又是怎么来的吗?
The mention of the Dragon Boat Festival, people will think of eating dumplings, dragon boat racing. However, do you know what is the meaning of "Dragon Boat Festival", the Dragon Boat Festival customs is how come?
“端午”。“端”是“初”“始”的意思，所以阴历五月初五称为“端午”。到了唐代，因为唐朝皇帝唐玄宇的生日是八月五日，为了避用“五”字，就用回音“午”替换了“五”字，从此，“端五”便改称“端午”了。
"Dragon Boat Festival". "The end" is the "beginning" "beginning", so the lunar calendar in May called "dragon boat festival". To the Tang Dynasty, because of the Tang Dynasty emperor Tang Xuanyu was born on August 5th, in order to avoid the use of "Five", with the echo "afternoon" replace "Five", then, "end of the five" was called the "Dragon Boat Festival".
为什么五月初五这一天会成为“端午”呢?民间流传着很多种说法。其中最流行的说法，就是为了纪念屈原。
Why the fifth May this day will become the "Dragon Boat Festival"? The folklore of the several different versions. One of the most popular argument is to commemorate Qu Yuan.
屈原是战国时楚国的大官，楚国不采纳他的治国主张，反而将他免职流放，他在流放途中看到楚国衰亡，人民遭受苦难，自己又无力挽救老百姓，他心中悲愤难忍，便于公元前278年的五月初五，投入汩罗江自尽。楚国百姓知道后，竟相划船前去相救，但已来不及了，百姓们担心江中的鱼，鳖，咬食屈原的遗体，便用竹壳裹米投入江中喂鱼。从此，划龙舟，包粽子就是我们中国的风俗了。
Qu Yuan is a high official from the state of Chu during the Warring States period, Chu did not take his governing principles, but he will be removed from the exile, he saw the decline in exile, the people's suffering, and to save the people, he had to endure grief and indignation, to 278 BC in the fifth day of May, into the Miluo River. The people of Chu know, has the boat to rescue, but it was too late, the people to worry about the river fish, turtle, eating Qu Yuan's body, then wrapped with bamboo rice into the river to feed the fish shell. Since then, the dragon boat, zongzi is our Chinese customs.
