端午节的英语简介

Duanwu or the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional and statutory holiday originating in China.
The festival now occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese calendar,the source of its alternate name,the Double Fifth Festival.[5] The Chinese calendar is lunisolar,so the date varies from year to year on the Gregorian calendar.In 2012,it fell on June 23; in 2013,on June 12; and in 2014,it will occur on June 2.The focus of most celebrations involves eating zongzi (sticky rice dumplings),drinking realgar wine (雄黄酒,xiónghuángjiǔ),and racing dragon boats.
The sun is considered to be at its strongest around the time of summer solstice,as the daylight in the northern hemisphere is the longest.The sun,like the Chinese dragon,traditionally represents masculine energy,whereas the moon,like the phoenix,traditionally represents feminine energy.The summer solstice is considered the annual peak of male energy while the winter solstice,the longest night of the year,represents the annual peak of feminine energy.The masculine image of the dragon was thus naturally associated with Duanwu.[
