10、又将端午节称之为五月节、艾节、夏节。从史籍上看，“端午”二字最早见于晋人周处风土记：“仲夏端午，烹鹜角黍”。端午节是我国汉族人民的传统节日。这一天必不可少的活动逐渐演变为：吃粽子，赛龙舟，挂菖蒲、艾叶，薰苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒。据说，吃粽子和赛龙舟，是为了纪念屈原，所以解放后曾把端午节定名为“诗人节”，以纪念屈原。至于挂菖蒲、艾叶，薰苍术、白芷，喝雄黄酒，则据说是为了压邪。民俗专家称，端午节始于中国的春秋战国时期，至今已有2000多年历史.时至今日，端午节仍是中国人民中一个十分盛行的隆重节日。端午节现为国家法定节假日。国家非常重视非物质文化遗产的保护，20XX年5月20日，该民俗经国务院批准列入

18、多彩的龙舟前进。这项活动的灵感是来自於当时汨罗江畔的居民，在江中划船救屈原，而这个传统也一直保持了数个世纪。在端午节时受欢迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋黄及其他材料，再以竹叶包裹。而粽子的传统则来由於汨罗江边的渔夫，将米丢入江中平息江中的蛟龙，希望他们不要将屈原吃掉。农历的五月，也就是端午节的这个时节，对中国人而言，除了屈原的故事还有许多其他重要的意义。许多中国人相信五月是一年中容易引发疾病的危险时节，因此必须有许多防备家人生病的措施。许多家庭会将一种特别的植物-艾草挂在门口，作为保护之用，而人们也会挂带香包，它是以含有多种香味的药用植物所做成，也可以保护人们远离疾病。农历五月初

19、五端午节，是我国最大的传统节日之一。端午亦称端五，“端”的意思和“初”相同，称“端五”也就如称“初五”；端五的“五”字又与“午”相通，按地支顺序推算，五月正是“午”月。又因午时为“阳辰”，所以端五也叫“端阳”。五月五日，月、日都是五，故称重五，也称重午。此外，端午还有许多别称，如：夏节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节等等。端午节的别称之多，间接说明了端午节俗起源的歧出。事实也正是这样的。关于端午节的来源，时至今日至少有四、五种说法，诸如：纪念屈原说；吴越民族图腾祭说；起于三代夏至节说；恶月恶日驱避说，等等。迄今为止，影响最广的端午起源的观点是纪念屈原说。在民俗文化领域，我国民众把端午节的

20、龙舟竞渡和吃粽子都与屈原联系起来。传说屈原投江以后，当地人民伤其死，便驾舟奋力营救，因有竞渡风俗；又说人们常放食品到水中致祭屈原，但多为蛟龙所食，后因屈原的提示才用楝树叶包饭，外缠彩丝，做成后来的粽子样。端午节的习俗主要有：吃粽子于门上插艾或菖蒲驱邪，系长命缕，饮雄黄酒或以之消毒，赛龙舟等等。粽子又叫“角黍”、“筒粽”，前者是由于形状有棱角、内裹粘米而得名，后者顾名思义大概是用竹筒盛米煮成。端午节吃粽子，在魏晋时代已经很盛行。这种食品是在每年端午和夏至两个节日里食用。粽子还是一种节日往来的礼品。到了唐宋时期，粽子已极为有名，市场上常有粽子卖。现在，我们过端午节仍然免不了要吃几只粽子。粽子有不少

21、花样，有南北之别，东西之分。南方常用红枣、花生、咸肉等混在糯米中制成，也多见不杂别的食品，而去品味粽叶的清香的；北方多以枣、果脯等作为粽子的馅心。小小的粽子，似乎已经成了中国传统的象征，在人们心中占据着一定的位置.过去端午节还有躲午的习俗，此种习俗源于一种信仰，即：五月为“恶月”，瘟疮蔓延，重五是个不吉利的日子，所以父母都于是日将未满周岁的儿女带往外婆家躲避，以逃脱灾祸，故称躲午。这无疑是古代科学不发达而产生的观念，因为五月酷暑将至，蚊虫滋生，在没有医疗卫生设备的民间，容易发生传染病，遂给人们带来一种恐惧心理，于是产生躲午习俗，如今这一节日的一些古老习俗已经随着社会变迁而消失了，但吃粽子、赛龙

22、舟等习俗仍然流行。篇三：端午节英语介绍DragonboatFestivalAccordingtothechineselunarcalendar,ischinasfolktraditionalfestival,DragonboatFestival,itisthechinesetraditionalfestivals.Duanwualsosay,DuanYangprayer.Inaddition,theDragonboatFestivalhasmanynicknames,suchas:goodafternoon,section,fifty,mayDay,bathorchid,sections,da
