端午節的故事
In the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, it is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China, also known as duyang, five and five. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a custom of "storing lanes and bathing in May 5th". But today, many activities of Dragon Boat Festival are related to commemorating Qu Yuan, a great Chinese writer.
In the Warring States period, Chu and Qin scramble for hegemony, and the poet Qu Yuan was highly valued by the king of Chu. However, Qu Yuan's claim was opposed by the old official of Shangguan doctor Jin Shang. He continued to slander Qu Yuan in front of the king of Chu Huai, and the king of Chu Huai gradually alienated Qu Yuan, and the ambitious Qu Yuan felt much pain, and he was with a melancholy and indignation that was difficult to suppress. He wrote the immortal poems such as Li Sao and Tian Xiang. In 229 BC, Qin conquered eight cities in Chu state, and then sent envoys to King Chu Huai to go to the Qin state. Qu Yuan saw through the conspiracy of King Qin and risked death into the palace to state his interests. Instead of listening, Chu Huai Wang drove Qu Yuan out of Ying Du. When King Chu Huai arrived at the meeting as scheduled, he was imprisoned in Qin state. He was filled with regret and depression. He died in Qin after three years. Soon after the king of Chu defeated the king, he sent troops to attack the state of Chu. On the way of exile, Qu Yuan heard the death of King Huai king and the bad news of Ying City to break through.
The fishermen on the river and the people on the shore heard that Dr. Qu Yuan threw himself into the river and came to the river to salvage the corpse of Qu Yuan. (the custom later evolved into a dragon boat race). In addition, the Dragon poured the realgar wine into the river so that the animals could not be hurt. After a long time, a faint dragon was floating on the surface of the water, and the dragon was still covered with a piece of doctor's dress. People pulled the dragon on the shore, pulled out the tendons, then wrapped the dragon in the hands and neck of the children, then used the realgar wine, and some were still writing a "King" on the forehead of the children to make the poison. Snake pests don't dare to hurt them. From then on, at the beginning of May every year in the early May, the people of the state of Chu state the dragon boat on the river, throw the zongzi and drink the male yellow rice wine to commemorate the poet, the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival has been spread like this.
農曆五月初五，是我國傳統的端午節，又稱端陽、重五、端五節。早在周朝，就有“五月五日，蓄蘭而沐”的習俗。但今天端午節的衆多活動都與紀念我國偉大的.文學家屈原有關。
戰國時代，楚秦爭奪霸權，詩人屈原很受楚王器重，然而屈原的主張遭到上官大夫靳尚爲首的守舊派的反對，不斷在楚懷王的面前詆譭屈原，楚懷王漸漸疏遠了屈原，有着遠大抱負的屈原倍感痛心，他懷着難以抑制的憂鬱悲憤，寫出了《離騷》、《天向》等不朽詩篇。公元前229年，秦國攻佔了楚國八座城池，接着又派使臣請楚懷王去秦國議和。屈原看破了秦王的陰謀，冒死進宮陳述利害，楚懷王不但不聽，反而將屈原逐出郢都。楚懷王如期赴會，一到秦國就被囚禁起來，楚懷王悔恨交加，憂鬱成疾，三年後客死於秦國。楚頃衰王即位不久，秦王又派兵攻打楚國，頃衰王倉惶撤離京城，秦兵攻佔郢城。屈原在流放途中，接連聽到楚懷王客死和郢城攻破的噩耗後，萬念俱灰，仰天長嘆一聲，投入了滾滾激流的汩羅江。
江上的漁夫和岸上的百姓，聽說屈原大夫投江自盡，都紛紛來到江上，奮力打撈屈原的屍體，(此風俗日後演變成賽龍舟)人們紛紛拿出家中的糉子、雞蛋投入江中，讓魚吃了就不會去咬屈大夫屍身。還有郎中把雄黃酒倒入江中，以便藥昏蛟龍水獸，使屈原大夫屍體免遭傷害。過不了多久，水面上浮起了一條昏暈的蛟龍，龍鬚上還沾著一片屈大夫的衣襟，人們就把這惡龍拉上岸，抽了筋，然後把龍筋纏在孩子們的手、脖子上，又用雄黃酒抹七竅，有的還在小孩子額頭上寫上一個“王”字，使那些毒蛇害蟲都不敢來傷害他們。從此，每年五月初——屈原投江殉難日，楚國人民都到江上划龍舟，投糉子，喝雄黃酒，以此來紀念詩人，端午節的風俗就這樣流傳下來。
