提前祝大家端午节快乐!





……

绿杨带雨垂垂重。五色新丝缠角粽。

……

正是浴兰时节动。菖蒲酒美清尊共。

在我国,春节(the Spring Festival)、中秋节(the Mid-Autumn Festival)、端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)并称为中国三大传统节日,而端午节又是其中最古老的节日。The tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival started more than 2,000 years ago. 端午节的传统始于两千多年前。

关于端午节的“前世今生”众说纷纭,其中,最为大家所熟悉的是纪念爱国诗人屈原 (In order to commemorate patriotic Poet Qu Yuan who jumped into Miluo River)。



和端午

竞渡深悲千载冤,

忠魂一去讵能还。

国亡身殒今何有,

只留离骚在世间。

—— 张耒《和端午》



接下来,我们一起看看端午节都有哪些活动吧!


     1. 端午节吃什么?

品粽子 Eat Zongzi



南方一般用竹叶包粽子,北方一般用芦苇叶包粽子。粽子常以红枣Chinese red date作馅。人们也会把糯米(sticky / glutinous rice)浸在碱水(alkaline water)里,这样粽子质地就会更柔软。但是一些南方地区包粽子基本上不用红枣,而用肉或豆沙。我国最著名的粽子还属嘉兴粽子,嘉兴的粽子填料用的是鸡肉和“八宝”,也有包红豆沙和咸蛋黄的。



粽包分两髻,

艾束著危冠。
旧俗方储药,
羸躯亦点丹。
——陆游《乙卯重五诗》



       2. 端午节喝什么?

饮雄黄酒 Drink Realgar Wine


雄黄酒,用以驱虫解五毒,小儿涂于头额、耳鼻、手足心, 并洒墙壁间, 以法诸毒。  

People drink realgar wine to protect themselves from illness.



樱桃桑椹与菖蒲,
更买雄黄酒一壶。
——李静山《节令门 端阳》
       3. 端午节玩什么?

龙舟赛 Dragon Boat Racing


共骇群龙水上游,不知原是木兰舟。
云旗猎猎翻青汉,雷鼓嘈嘈殷碧流。
屈子冤魂终古在,楚乡遗俗至今留。
江亭暇日堪高会,醉讽离骚不解愁。
—— 边贡 《午日观竞渡》


      4. 端午节戴什么?

1) 系五彩线 Tie Colored Lines


中国古代崇拜五色,以五色为吉祥色。因而,节日清晨,各家大人起床后第一件大事便是在孩子手腕、脚腕、脖子上拴五色线。  

People worship five colors in ancient China. On that day, the first issue after getting up for adults is to tie colored lines around the child’s wrists, ankles and neck.



2) 戴香囊 Wear Perfume Sachet


端午节最有特色的饰物就是香包(sachet)。小孩佩戴香包,传说有避邪驱瘟之意。用含有多种香味的药用植物做成的香包也可以预防疾病。


碧艾香蒲处处忙。谁家儿共女,庆端阳。细缠五色臂丝长。
—— 舒頔 《小重山·端午》

端午节相关段落节选:

The dragon boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar year. As it is in early summer, it marks the beginning of the hottest season of the year.

The tradition of the dragon boat Festival started more than 2,000 years ago. In the old days, dragon boat races were organised only by Chinese people. However, in part in the recent years, people from other cultures-have also taken races and enjoyed the fun.

There is a special food for the festival. It is called Zongzi, which is sticky rice in fresh bamboo leaves.

Dear Jim,

How are you doing? Recently, I plan to take part in a dragon boat training camp in order to cultivate my interests, broaden my horizons and enrich my after school life. Will you come with me?

Here are some details about this camp. To begin with, it will be held in my school next Sunday. Besides, 100 middle school students from 7 countries will take part in this camp; as a result, we will have the chance to have a good communication.

There are two main reasons why I want to try it. On the one hand, the dragon boat is an important Chinese tradition, which will be not only meaningful but also interesting. On the other hand, not only our ability but also our interpersonal relationship can be improved.

Hopefully, you could join me in this camp. I have the confidence that we will have a great time there. Please drop me a line to let me know your decision soon. I’m looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Hua
