每年的农历五月初五,是中国的传统节日,端午节。

今年的端午节是下周一,也就是阳历的6月14号。

你可能知道,中国人庆祝这个节日时,会吃粽子,赛龙舟,

但是,你知道这个节日的由来吗?

据说,这些庆祝活动是为了纪念一位诗人,他叫屈原。

他生活在中国古代的战国时期,大约公元前3世纪左右。

当时7个国家占据了中国这片土地。其中秦国的势力最强,总想吞并其他六个国家。

屈原是其中一个国家— 楚国的大臣。

当时,屈原提出了很多改革的方法。希望与其它国家联合起来,共同抵抗秦国。

但是楚王听信奸臣,不仅没有采纳屈原的建议,还把他赶出了楚国。

后来,流浪在外的屈原听说楚国被秦国打败了,非常悲痛和自责,

责怪自己没有能力拯救祖国,就跳进汨罗江自杀了。

人们听到屈原自杀的消息,都纷纷划船赶来打捞他的尸体,但是没有找到。

于是,为了不让鱼虾吃掉他的身体,人们就把食物扔进河里喂鱼虾。

并且每年的五月五日人们都这么做。

渐渐地,为了纪念这位伟大的爱国诗人,赛龙舟和吃粽子成为了这一天的习俗。

这一天,有的家庭会自己包粽子,有的则直接去超市买来吃。

粽子的花样也越来越多,一般都是用植物的叶子,把糯米包在里面,

再根据自己的喜好,加上红枣、蛋黄、腊肉、鸡肉、豆沙等等。

你吃过粽子吗?你喜欢吃什么样的粽子呢? 甜的还是咸的?
