Do you have festivals in China? Maybe you'll say Spring Festival. Mid-Autumn Festival, and so on. But
have you heard of Dragon-Boat Festival (龙舟节)?
In China, there is an interesting and exciting festival in the year of dragon. It is said that the Dragon King,
the God of Rain, will make fine weather to help the farmers to make crops (农作物) grow well and everything
will go on well, too. Of course, we hope it is a lucky year for all the people.
In order to remember a great poet (诗人) in ancient China, Qu Yuan, for ever, we have the Dragon-Boat
Festival. Over 2200 years ago, Qu Yuan was born in Zigui of Hubei, during the Warring States Period
(战国时代). He was wise (博学的) and he wrote many excellent (优秀的) poems (诗) in his life time. Among
his poems, the most famous is "Li Sao". It was about the life of his own. And his other poems were full of his
deep love for his motherland.
We have our big Dragon-Boat Festival on the 5th of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar (阴历).
The most important thing during the festival is the dragon-boat race. When the race begins, the players are
boating hard in the river, and other people are acclaiming (为……喝彩) warmly for them.
There is another kind of food to memorize (纪念) Qu Yuan. It is called "zong-zi".
