The Dragon Boat Festival， also called the Duanwu Festival， is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese calendar.

The festival commemorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to save him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water。

端午节,又称為端午节,根拠中国日历定在第五个月的第五天。

這个节日是為了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因為対朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大家把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的魚群從他的躯体辺引開。

  The most important activity of this festival is the Dragon Boat races. It symbolizes people‘s attempts to rescue Qu Yuan. In the current period， these races also demonstrate the virtues of cooperation and teamwork.

Besides， the festival has also been marked by eating zong zi （glutinous rice）。 Zong zi is made of glutinous rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves. People who mourned the death of Qu threw Zong zi into the river to feed his ghost every year.

這个节日最重要的活動是龙舟竞赛。它寓意着人々在努力救屈原。在当前時期,這些比赛也表達了団隊合作的精神。此外,端午节被记住還因為這个特殊的食物－粽子(糯米)。粽子是用糯米做的有不同的馅料包在竹叶或芦苇叶。人々把粽子扔進河里喂他的鬼魂的方式来哀悼屈原。

 With the changes of the times， the memorial turns to be a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of year. People will hang healthy herbs on the front door to clear the bad luck of the house. Although the significance of the festival might be different with the past， it still gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

随着時代的変化,纪念转向保护他不受邪恶力量的影响并且驱逐疾病。人々会把健康的草薬挂在前門来驱逐房子的坏運气。雖然這个节日的意義可能不同与過去,它仍然使人々看到了丰富的中国文化遗産的一部分。

And in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to become an international holiday。The story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30。

并且，最近几年端午节已経不局限于中国，成為国際性节日。屈原逝世的故事逐渐演変成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一種包在竹叶中的米食)的传統。這些竞赛顕然激起了世界各地人々的想像，每年春天有将近60场龙舟赛在中国境外的城市举辦，從温哥華到悉尼，從波蘭的格但斯克到南非的開普敦。単単字加拿大就有将近50支龙舟隊伍，ドイツ則有近30个。
