The story of the Dragon Boat Festival is about a Chinese
poet. He failed to help his country and drowned himself in the
river. People looked for his body. They made rice dumplings for
the fish so the fish wouldn’t eat the poet.
Now people usually make and eat rice dumplings. They
also wear sachets for good luck. People watch the dragon
boat races. A person on the team plays the drum and the other
people row the beautiful boat. People cheer for their favorite
team.
端 午 节
端午节是关于一个中国诗人的传说,他因为无法帮助自己的国家而跳江
自尽了。人们搜寻他的尸体。他们包粽子喂鱼吃,这样鱼就不会吃诗人的尸
体了。
现在人们经常包粽子吃,他们挂香包来祈求好运。人们观看龙舟比赛,
队里的一个人打鼓,其余的人划装饰好的龙舟,人们为自己喜欢的队呐喊助
威。
