Dear Maria,

 

I'm very happy that you are interested in Chinese culture,especially the festivals.Now let me tell you something about the Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival,also called the Duanwu Festival ,is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.People always eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races to celebrate it.

The festival is best known for its dragon-boat races,especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes. It’s very popular.

The rice dumpling is made of glutinous rice,meat and so on. You can eat different kinds of rice dumplings.They are very delicious.

And Dragon Boat Festival is for Qu Yuan. He is an honest minister who is said to have committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

Overall, the Dragon Boat Festival is very interesting!

端午节英语诗句

 

The Dragon Boat Festival there.

(唐)殷尧藩

 

Yin Yaofan (Tang)

少年佳节倍多情，老去谁知感慨生;

 

Young festival times affectionate, old to behold regrets born;

不效艾符趋习俗，但祈蒲酒话升平。

 

No effect of Fu more custom, but Qi Pu wine shengping.

鬓丝日日添白头，榴锦年年照眼明;

 

Temples silk day add white-headed, Liu Jin annual as eyes;

千载贤愚同瞬息，几人湮没几垂名。
