1.端午节的习俗英语作文篇一The fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China is known as the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival or the Double Ninth Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is an old custom in China that has been around for over two thousand years. Why do Chinese people celebrate the festival? There are many legends here, the most important of which is to commemorate the great national poet Qu Yuan in the Chinese calendar. Qu Yuan is a great ancient Chinese poet and one of the world’s four cultural celebrities. For over two thousand years, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month has become a traditional festival commemorating Qu Yuan. According to historical records, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 278 BC, Qu Yuan, a high-ranking official and patriotic poet of the State of Chu, heard the news that the Qin army had captured the capital of the State of Chu. He was filled with grief and anger, and his heart was cut like a knife. He resolutely wrote his masterpiece “Huaisha”and threw a stone into the Miluo River, sacrificing himself for his country. People along the river have led boats to race to salvage,
summon souls along the water, and throw Zongzi into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating his body. This custom has lasted for over two thousand years to this day.
For thousands of years, Qu Yuan’s patriotic spirit and touching poetry have deeply penetrated people’s hearts. People “cherish and mourn it, and the world will discuss its words and pass them on from generation to generation.”. In the field of folk culture, Chinese people have since closely linked the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race and eating Zongzi with the commemoration of Qu Yuan. With the increasing influence of Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival, which began in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, gradually spread and became a festival of the Chinese nation. There are many customs in various parts of China during the Dragon Boat Festival. Every day, every household hangs a Zhong Kui statue, hangs a wormwood leaf and calamus, races dragon boats, eats Zongzi, drinks realgar wine, swims through diseases, and wears sachets.
Hanging Zhong Kui statue: Zhong Kui captures ghosts, which is a custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. In
the Jianghuai region of central China, statues of Zhong Kui are hung in every household to ward off evil spirits and prevent evil. Zhong Kui is related to a bizarre rumor. It is said that during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) in China, an emperor dreamed of a large ghost catching a small ghost and devouring it during his illness. He claimed to be Zhong Kui and after waking up, he had the painter Wu Daozi paint a portrait with a fierce ugly appearance, which he believed was used for fighting ghosts, warding off evil spirits, and eliminating evil spirits.
Hanging mugwort leaves and calamus: During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household uses calamus, mugwort leaves, pomegranates, garlic, and dragon boat flowers to create human figures and call them “Ai people”. Hang mugwort leaves in the hall, cut them into the shape of tigers or cut ribbons into small tigers, and stick them with mugwort leaves. Women compete to wear them to ward off evil and drive away malaria. Using calamus as a sword and inserting it into the lintel, it has the magical effect of dispelling demons and ghosts.
Dragon Boat Race: It is said that in ancient China, many people rowed boats to chase and save Qu Yuan, a wise minister, because they were reluctant to part with him. They were eager to catch up and disappeared when they reached Dongting Lake, which is the origin of dragon boat racing. Later, on May 5th every year, they would row dragon boats to commemorate it. By rowing a dragon boat, disperse the fish in the river to prevent them from eating Qu Yuan’s body.
2.端午节的习俗英语作文篇二The Dragon Boat Festival is called May Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown, and it falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. However, people in my hometown seem to have no idea why this festival originated. Before entering junior high school, I did not associate the Dragon Boat Festival with Qu Yuan.
Maybe because my hometown is located in the plain and has no habit of eating rice, Zongzi is not a necessary food for the Dragon Boat Festival. Even the beloved dumplings are not the main characters. When I was a child, when the rural conditions were not very good, the Dragon Boat Festival was special only for breakfast, that is, sugar dumplings and Salted duck egg. Sugar buns, make a triangle with white bread and add
white or red sugar inside. Steam until cooked. Even so, sugar buns are rarely eaten in daily life.
Sugar dumplings are both sweet and triangular, which is obviously a substitute for Zongzi. As for why to eat Salted duck egg, it is unknown. I speculate that it may be because the people in my hometown mainly eat noodles and do not like sweets, and the salted duck eggs can just neutralize the sweetness of sugar buns.
Sweets are a great temptation for children, especially when there are not many sweets in childhood. Therefore, children love to eat sugar buns the most. Sugar is wrapped in noodles, and by the time it is cooked, the sugar has already melted into sugar water. However, greedy children often pick up sugar buns that have just been cooked and eat them, and as you can imagine, they will scream when the sugar water burns.
Salted duck egg are seldom eaten at ordinary times. Because they are expensive, people who have ducks at home usually eat Salted duck egg. If a woman can make a living, she will sell the Salted duck egg she has saved. There are also people who don’t have Salted duck egg,
so they can only boil eggs instead.
When I was a child, having good breakfast was already after the Dragon Boat Festival, because lunch was the same as usual, and there were very few families who could afford dumplings. It’s different now. There are fewer and fewer people eating sugar dumplings and Salted duck egg in the morning. Eating dumplings at noon has gradually become the main holiday food. When it comes to lunch making, the sound of “DuDuDuDuDuDu”chopping dumplings stuffing comes from every kitchen.
3.端午节的习俗英语作文篇三There are so many customs in my hometown that I can’t count them all. Various festivals have different customs. I like the Dragon Boat Festival because I can not only eat Zongzi but also make Zongzi myself.
We started preparing more than ten days before the Dragon Boat Festival, so we just had to wait.
This day has finally arrived. I put on my apron early and waited for them. My mother picked up the fragrant corn leaves and started wrapping them (this type of corn has also been washed with wine, so it is very fragrant. Everyone chooses the leaves according
to their own preferences. We like corn, so we use corn leaves to wrap it.) I also followed my mother’s footsteps and skillfully wrapped one with her usual techniques, but I couldn’t keep up with her, so I had to slow down. Put in the dates and then wrap them. I wanted to make Zongzi sweet, so I put more dates. When I wrap one up. Mom has already wrapped several. I only wrapped three when my mother finished wrapping them. After wrapping, I put it into the steamer and waited slowly. I went to my aunt’s house while Zongzi was wrapping. When I saw that they were using bobbins to wrap Zongzi, I also helped them wrap some.
When I got home, Zongzi was out of the cage. I immediately jumped up and took a Zongzi made by myself. Because the Zongzi I made was ugly and small, I recognized it at a glance. I took a bite of Zongzi after I untied it. Wow, it’s so sweet! In a short while, I finished one. Mom said, “Stop eating, there will be more activities later!”
When everything was ready, we exchanged Zongzi with each family on the basket. When I came back, I went to the Zongzi eating contest. My family sent me as a
representative to participate in the competition. I can’t wait to eat Zongzi. Finally, my sister untied the Zongzi, and I ate it quickly. I couldn’t eat it half way through. My sister said, “You don’t want your big Zongzi anymore.”I insisted on eating and finally won the competition. The prize is a super big Zongzi flavored with red beans. I went home happily with Zongzi in my arms.
”I’m exhausted, exhausted!”I want to relax and eat my big Zongzi.
This is the custom of Zongzi: “It’s delicious!”
4.端午节的习俗英语作文篇四There are many traditional festivals in China, such as the Spring Festival, which is “one year old with the sound of firecrackers, and the spring breeze brings warmth into Tusu”, the Qingming Festival, which is “rainy in the Qingming Festival, and pedestrians on the road want to die”, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is “people look at the moon tonight, and I don’t know who is missing in autumn”... What I want to say is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is “zongzi buns in two buns, Ai wears a dangerous crown”.
In my hometown, there are many legends circulating about the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that in ancient times, there was a patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. He was full of poetry and books, but the then ruler, King Huai of Chu, believed in slander and did not value him. Instead, he valued petty people. Qu Yuan’s full of ambitions could not be realized, so he chose to throw himself into the Miluo River when the state of Chu was conquered. People once took boats to search for Qu Yuan’s body and drove away the fish in the river, but they couldn’t find it. People were afraid that the fish would eat his body, so they put rice into the bamboo tube and threw it into the river, which later evolved into eating Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Since then, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, people will make many Zongzi. The green zongzi leaves are wrapped with snow-white glutinous rice, and many condiments can be added, such as meat, jujube, etc. The fragrance of Zongye and the sweet smell of glutinous rice are mixed together, which makes people have a big appetite and can’t help eating more Zongzi. Eating Zongzi has become a big custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon boat racing is also one of the important customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. A few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, big villages and small towns will prepare dragon boats, arrange personnel for rowing and drumming, and then practice by the lake. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun was shining brightly, and the lake was crowded with people. The fence was also crowded with people, which made people worried about the capacity of the fence. Finally, amidst the expectant gaze of everyone, the competition began. The drummer rhythmically tapped the drum face, and the rowers moved in a neat uniform manner. The dragon boats rushed towards the finish line, and this grand scene was extremely spectacular! During the Dragon Boat Festival, people will also hang mugwort on their doors, praying for the health, auspiciousness, and happiness of their family. Artemisia argyi is a medicinal herb that can treat diseases, emitting a special aroma. It not only repels mosquitoes and insects, but also has functions such as warming menstruation, dispelling dampness, dispelling cold, hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, asthma relieving, and cough relieving. In addition, people also spray realgar wine on the walls to expel toxins, bundle clean herbs
into large bundles, boil them in a pot with eggs, and take a bath with the boiled water to prevent illness.
These rich and colorful customs are the characteristics of hometown people celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival, and they are the symbols of the Dragon Boat Festival. Of course, people will not forget to mourn this great patriotic poet - Qu Yuan in their hearts.
5.端午节的习俗英语作文篇五Dragon Boat Festival, Spring Festival, Yuanxiao (Filled round balls made of glutinous rice-flour for Lantern Festival) Festival, Tomb sweeping Day and so on are traditional festivals in China. During holidays, I miss my loved ones twice; Whether it’s wanderers from afar or family members close by, they all need to gather together and celebrate a reunion festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival has a long history. Divided into Big Dragon Boat Festival and Small Dragon Boat Festival. The Little Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and the Big Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month. The character “Duan”has an initial meaning, and “Dragon Boat Festival” is the
first fifth day of May. The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the “Dragon Boat Festival”, “Poet Festival”, and “Lantern Festival”. Speaking of these festivals, there is also a sad and beautiful story! During the Warring States period, patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and people around him went to the riverbank to row boats and salvage. People are vying to save Qu Yuan from drowning. After salvaging for a long time, people still can’t see Qu Yuan’s body, so they go home and throw rice balls into the river to prevent the fish, shrimp, crabs, lots, etc. in the river from eating Qu Yuan’s body, so there are now eating Zongzi and dragon boat racing.
The most important custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat Zongzi. Zongzi is usually made of yellow rice and glutinous rice. Soak yellow rice, glutinous rice, and bamboo leaves wrapped in Zongzi in a basin for one day and one night. Then wrap the Zongzi into a triangle with leaves, and put dates or peanuts on each corner to prevent the rice from overflowing. After the Zongzi is wrapped, it is put into the big pot with the eggs and boiled slowly for an afternoon. After
Zongzi is cooked, open the pot, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves and Zongzi seeps into the eggs, making people cannot help eating more.
The Dragon Boat Festival also has a tradition; Use mugwort leaves to repel mosquitoes. In the past, medical care was not well-developed, and some physically weak and disabled people would die after being bitten by mosquitoes. Placing mugwort leaves on the door has a protective effect against evil spirits. People still tie many colorful small brooms on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. The small broom is made of hemp thread. People use various dyes to dye hemp into colorful threads. Tie it into a 1cm long small broom, then dye some small fruit shells into various colors, with a small hole in the middle. Thread the colorful threads together and tie them to the children’s hands and feet to show good luck.
Chinese folk customs have a long history and are not superstitions, but traditional customs. We should respect and protect it. Make ancient traditional culture a harmonious nation and contribute to the economic takeoff.
6.端午节的习俗英语作文篇六On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, housewives of every household soak the bought bamboo leaves (such as bamboo leaves or reed leaves) and glutinous rice in a water basin. Suzhou people not only eat Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, but also use it to worship their ancestors. There are various types of Dragon Boat Festival zongzi, which can be classified according to their shapes. The ones that resemble a weighing hammer are called weighing hammer zongzi, the ones that resemble a pillow are called pillow zongzi, the ones that resemble a triangle are called triangular zongzi, and in old Suzhou, they are called “small foot zongzi”. In addition to glutinous rice, people often add other items such as meat, beans, etc. to the bamboo leaves. So there were fresh meat zongzi, ham zongzi, red bean zongzi, mung bean zongzi, Douban zongzi, jujube zongzi, bean paste zongzi, and so on. The Zongzi, which is wrapped only with zongzi rice without stuffing, is called “white water zongzi”. In the past, wormwood ash juice was often used to cook Zongzi, called “grey soup zongzi”.
The customs of the Suzhou family during the Dragon Boat Festival. Early in the morning, the people of
Suzhou tied mugwort in a human shape and hung it on the border of the main gate or in front of the hall. The housewife washed her face and hair with calamus soaked in water, and put a tiger head hat on the head of the child who woke up. She wore a tiger head belly pocket close to her body, a five poison clothing on the outside, and tiger head shoes on her feet. In addition to making Zongzi, housewives also need to buy fish, fresh meat, water bamboo and other seasonal vegetables on the street, and cook a table of Dragon Boat meal at noon.
The first thing to do during the Dragon Boat Festival in Old Suzhou is to hang a statue of Zhong Kui in the hall, and buy realgar from a pharmacy and mix it with yellow wine to make realgar wine. Before lunch, Old Suzhou called the child over and first used his hand to dip realgar wine and write the word “Wang” on the child’s forehead. Then, he sprinkled some realgar wine around the courtyard. Some people boil and burn Chinese herbs such as Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica, smoke indoors, and bathe in mugwort and calamus soup. Some people use the five colored peach seal as a door decoration to stop evil spirits. Finally, the family sat together, sharing a refreshing and
detoxifying Dragon Boat Festival meal, drinking realgar wine together, and wishing Dragon Boat Festival health and happiness. After lunch, housewives bring sachets to their children, and some wrap five colored silk threads around their arms, called “longevity threads” or “longevity threads.”. The whole family went to the bookstore together to listen to a book, which tells the story of Bai Suzhen’s mistake of eating realgar wine during the Dragon Boat Festival and revealing a snake like appearance.

7.端午节的习俗英语作文篇七What are the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival? The customs of Dragon Boat Festival include hanging Zhong Kui, divinatory wormwood leaf calamus, dragon boat racing, eating Zongzi, drinking realgar wine, and traveling to various diseases. Let’s take Xiaoba to have a look!
Hanging Zhong Kui statue: Zhong Kui captures ghosts, which is a custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. In the Jianghuai region, every household hangs a statue of Zhong Kui, which is used to suppress houses and ward off evil spirits. Emperor Ming of Tang opened the Yuan Dynasty and returned to the palace from Mount Li to
preach martial arts. He suffered from malaria and dreamed of two ghosts, one big and one small. The little ghost was wearing big red crotch less pants, stealing Yang Guifei’s sachet and Emperor Ming’s jade flute, running around the palace. The big ghost wears a blue robe and hat, catches the little ghost, gouges out its eyes, and swallows it in one gulp. Emperor Ming asked, and the Great Ghost reported: My surname is Zhong Kui, who did not perform well in the martial arts examination.
I am willing to eliminate demons and demons for Your Majesty. After Emperor Ming woke up, he recovered from malaria. Therefore, he ordered the painter Wu Daozi to draw a picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts according to what he saw in his dream, and ordered all people to post it during the Dragon Boat Festival to ward off evil spirits.
Gua Ai Ye Chang Pu: During the Dragon Boat Festival, every family uses calamus, mugwort leaves, pomegranates, garlic, and dragon boat flowers to create human figures and call them Ai people. Hang mugwort leaves in the hall, cut them into tiger shapes or small tigers, and stick them with mugwort leaves. Women compete to wear them to ward off malaria and ward off
evil spirits. Using calamus as a sword and inserting it on the lintel, it has the divine effect of dispelling ghosts and nobles.
Dragon Boat Race: At that time, the people of Chu were reluctant to part with their wise minister Qu Yuan, so many people rowed boats to chase and save him. They were eager to catch up and disappeared when they reached Dongting Lake, which is the origin of dragon boat racing. Later, on May 5th every year, they would row dragon boats to commemorate it. By rowing a dragon boat, disperse the fish in the river to prevent them from eating Qu Yuan’s body. The practice of racing was prevalent in Wu and Yue Chu. In the 29th year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, dragon boat races began in Taiwan. At that time, the Governor of Taiwan, Jiang Yuanjun, hosted a friendly race at Banyue Pool in Fahua Temple, Tainan City. Nowadays, Taiwan holds dragon boat races every May 5th. There are races in Hong Kong, and recently, the British have also followed the example of the Chinese by organizing ghost teams for competitive activities. Eating Zongzi: People in Jingchu boiled glutinous rice or steamed zongzi cakes on May 5 and threw them into the river to worship Qu
Yuan, so they used bamboo tubes to hold glutinous rice and throw it down for fear of fish. Later, they gradually used zongzi leaves to wrap rice instead of bamboo tubes.
Drinking realgar wine: This custom is very popular in households in the Yangtze River Basin.
You Baibing: This custom is prevalent during the Dragon Boat Festival in Guizhou region.
Wearing sachets: Children wearing sachets during the Dragon Boat Festival not only have the intention of warding off evil and expelling plague, but also have the style of embellishing the collar. The sachet contains cinnabar, realgar, and fragrant herbs, wrapped in silk cloth, exuding a refreshing fragrance. Then, five colored silk threads are strung together to create various shapes, forming a string that is colorful and exquisite.
8.端午节的习俗英语作文篇八”May 5 is the Dragon Boat Festival, where you can insert wormwood leaves, bring sachets, eat Zongzi, sprinkle sugar, and launch the dragon boat happily.”The annual Dragon Boat
Festival is coming again in a twinkling of an eye. Every May 5, every family starts to be busy, just to meet the messenger who came as promised - the Dragon Boat Festival.
It is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It is said that Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of May. In order to prevent the small fish and shrimp in the Dongting Lake from damaging Qu Yuan’s body, the people packed a lot of Zongzi and threw it into the lake.
Later, on the fifth day of May every year, people will make Zongzi and race dragon boats, which has become a custom in the eyes of the world. What I look forward to most is making Zongzi and eating Zongzi.
Every Dragon Boat Festival, my mother-in-law will prepare zongzi leaves, glutinous rice, honey dates, spiced meat and all kinds of delicious ingredients. When we come back, we will wrap Zongzi in the sun. You think, how wonderful and harmonious it is to wrap Zongzi, talk and laugh, and warm the heart with the warm sun!
I was originally a bystander, and as I watched, I couldn’t help but wrap it up. I picked up the zongzi
leaves and folded them inside to form a concave shape, laying a thin layer of glutinous rice. My favorite thing is to put a lot of pork belly on top, and the aunt next to me would smile and say, “This is really a real meat zongzi!”“That’s not it. Don’t make a fuss when it’s not cooked.”My mother also suggested on the side.
I don’t care, I keep pushing inside, but when I try to close it, I find that the bottom is stretched out.
I quickly sought help from my mother, but to my surprise, she started scolding me while helping me. I can’t handle that much anymore. For the convenience of confirmation, I specially tied a bow. Grandma picked up the wrapped Zongzi to cook.
After a long time, Grandma took out a large basket of glutinous rice dumplings. I kept rummaging in it for fear that my meat Zongzi would be robbed. Finally found it, I quickly peeled off the hot meat zongzi and started eating it. The not much glutinous rice was particularly weak to eat, and the fragrant pork belly steamed became even more colorful. After biting it down, it was full of oil, which was particularly satisfying. Eating my own glutinous rice Zongzi, I felt happy and had a sense of achievement from the bottom of my heart.
This is the Dragon Boat Festival that I like. It is not just a festival, but also a beautiful and moving storyline. It is not only a festival, but also a cultural symbol with colorful content, which is what
I love about the Dragon Boat Festival.
9.端午节的习俗英语作文篇九Today is China’s traditional festival - Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. During this day, many interesting things happen in our family.
Because it is a traditional festival in our country - the Dragon Boat Festival, I wake up a bit later than usual. When I opened my eyes, I found that my feet and hands were all wrapped in colorful threads. The colorful threads come in five colors: red, pink, yellow, green, and blue, which are so bright! My mother told me that wearing colorful lines during the Dragon Boat Festival will bring me good luck!
When I rinsed my teeth, washed my face and got to the seat, I found that there were more triangular Zongzi and pointed goose eggs on the table. “When were these
things put on the table?” I thought to myself, but my mouth said, “Anyway, my stomach is growling hungry.”So I started eating big. Suddenly, his father asked, “Water knows why he wants to eat Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival? If you know, please raise your hand!”
This was not too difficult for me, so I raised my hand and said, “It was because Qu Yuan in the Spring and Autumn Period, who was a minister of Huaiyu, wrote poems such as” Tianwen “and” Jiuge “. Because he was exiled, he wrote his last poem,” Huaisha “, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and jumped off the Polo River to die. People threw Zongzi and eggs into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from eating Qu Yuan’s body. To commemorate Qu Yuan, they set the fifth day of the fifth lunar month as the Dragon Boat Festival and made eating Zongzi the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.”I had just finished saying, Dad then said, “Let’s go to watch the dragon boat race! Don’t forget, there is also the custom of dragon boat race!” So we went to watch the dragon boat race.
We walked all the way, and on the way there, my mother bought a sachet for me to wear, and she also
bought mugwort and calamus. When we arrived there, the dragon boat race had already ended, so we turned back. As soon as I got home, I complained in my heart, but my mouth said, “Mom! I still know the verses of the Dragon Boat Festival.”So I started saying, “I drank realgar wine and avoided all kinds of illnesses.”“Dragon Boat Festival, the weather is hot; the five poisons wake up, it’s not peaceful.”Before I finished speaking, my mother kept praising me for being great and smart!
I’m so happy this day, time is very short, I really wish every day was Dragon Boat Festival!

Every day, every family hangs wormwood leaves and calamus, races dragon boats, eats Zongzi, drinks realgar wine, travels

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Do you know the origin of the festival? I don’t know! Then let me tell you all! Do you still remember Qu Yuan, the patriotic general of Chu? Let me talk about him!
Qu Yuan was a person who went abroad during the Warring States period and was very knowledgeable. He served as an official by the side of the King of Chu, using his image to make his country prosperous and strong. The foolish king of Chu, however, listened to the words of his ministers and demoted Qu Yuan to exile. During his exile, Qu Yuan heard that the capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy and the people suffered, and he was extremely sad and angry. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he came to the Miluo River, embraced a stone, and jumped into the Miluo River. The people who went abroad were deeply saddened when they heard the news of Qu Yuan’s investment in the river. With tears in their eyes, they rowed boats to salvage Qu Yuan, and threw Zongzi into the river to feed fish, hoping that the fish would not hurt Qu Yuan’s body. This is the origin of Zongzi made in May.。
