Duanwu Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival or the Double Fifth Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday. It's celebrated on May 5 every year according to the lunar calendar. It commemorates the life and death of the statesman and poet Qu Yuan.
端午節，也被稱做龍舟節或重五節，是一個傳統中國節日。端午節每年依據農曆在五月五日慶祝。端午節紀念了一位政治家及詩人「屈原」的一生。
Qu Yuan lived during the Warring States period over 2,300 years ago. According to legend, he was a descendant of the Chu royal house and served the king in high office. During his time in exile, he traveled to the countryside rewriting local legends and writing poetry. Years later, the Qin state conquered the Chu state, and in protest, Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Miluo River.
屈原活在超過 2,300 年前的戰國期間。根據傳說，他是楚國貴族的後裔，在朝廷為君王效命。在他流放的期間，他遊歷鄉間改寫當地傳說還有作詩。幾年後，秦國攻占楚國，以示抗議，屈原投身汨羅江自盡。
Local people attempted to save him by paddling their boats out to the river. But realizing it was too late, they dropped sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves into the river in order to both feed Qu Yuan in the afterlife and distract the fish away from eating his body.
當地人試著划船到江上救屈原。但發現一切為時已晚，他們將包在竹葉裡的糯米投入江中，為的是讓屈原在來世有東西吃，也引開魚群不要去吃屈原的身體。
Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is still celebrated by eating traditional Zongzi, which is sticky rice wrapped in leaves. They also hold dragon boat races.
如今，龍舟節仍以吃傳統粽子來慶祝，粽子就是包在葉裡的糯米。人們也舉行龍舟競賽。
