Dragon boat festival, often known as tuen ng festival or duan wu festival, is a traditional chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the chinese calendar. it is also known as the double fifth.[citation needed] it has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of east asia as well, most notably korea.
The exact origins of duan wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the chinese poet qu yuan of the warring states period. he committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the chu government. the local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fishes to prevent them from eating qus body. they also sat on dragon boats, and tried to scare the fishes away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking dragon-head in the front of the boat.
In the early years of the chinese republic, duan wu was also celebrated as "poets day", due to qu yuans status as chinas first poet of personal renown.
Today, people eat zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fishes) and race dragon boats in memory of qus dramatic death.

Dear teachers and students:
Everybody is good!
The topic of my speech today under the national flag is Dragon Boat Festival culture.
Today is June X, the first day of the fifth lunar month.Until this week, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanyang Festival.There are many legends about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the one commemorating Qu Yuan is the most popular.On this historical day, people will commemorate the immortal soul Qu Yuan by racing dragon boats and making dumplings.
Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in ancient China. He was born more than two thousand years ago in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period.Honest, knowledgeable and talented, he occupied an important position in the State of Chu.Because he insisted on resisting the invasion of Qin, he was rejected by the attack and expelled from the court by the king of Chu.Qu Yuan was filled with righteous indignation during his exile and wrote many patriotic poems, such as Li SAO, Tian Wen, Nine Songs and so on.Later, the Qin army captured the capital of chu.Thousands of miles, dead bodies everywhere.Qu Yuans heart was twisted by a knife. He did not want to see his country destroyed.On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in a river after finishing his masterpiece Huai Sha, composing a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life.
People love Qu Yuan.After hearing the news of Qu Yuans suicide, they rowed a boat to retrieve qu Yuans body, but failed to find it.They were afraid that the fish and shrimp in the river would bite qu Yuans body, so they put glutinous rice into bamboo tubes and threw it into the water.They want to feed glutinous rice to fish and shrimp to protect Qu Yuans body.Since then, every year on the fifth day of may, people spontaneously came to the river to mourn Qu Yuan, but also boating in the rough waves, a symbol of people scrambling to salvage Qu Yuans body, in order to place the grief of Qu Yuan.Over time, the custom of dragon boat racing was formed.
Qu Yuan has been dead for more than two thousand years.Today, we are here to commemorate him, mainly to learn from his love for the motherland, love the people, uphold the truth, rather than surrender to the spirit of death, as well as the personality of "winning glory with the sun and the moon".Qu Yuans spirit is immortal.No matter how time changes, he will always live in the long river of years, will always be remembered by people!
Let us look at each Chinese traditional festival with respect and cherish for our great patriots.Each traditional festival has rich cultural connotation and retains the unique cultural memory of the Chinese nation.
Thank you for your patience.In this, please accept my holiday wishes for you: happy Dragon Boat Festival!Thank you
Dear leaders and colleagues:
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Five, Midday, summer festival, midday festival, May Festival, Ai Festival and so on.
Every year on this day, people hold indispensable activities, such as sticking mugwort on the door, eating zongzi, wearing sachets and racing dragon boats.This year, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, we are about to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, an annual traditional Chinese festival.
So how does Dragon Boat Festival come about?It is said that more than two thousand years ago, Qu Yuan, a doctor of the State of Chu, cared about the sufferings of the people and was loved and loved by the people.After he drowned himself in the river, the people of chu rushed to the miluo River to express their condolences to him.People rowed boats up and down the river to retrieve his body, which gave rise to the custom of dragon boat racing.The custom of eating zongzi is to throw rice balls wrapped in neem leaves and colored silk into a river to pay homage to Qu Yuan.So the Fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival.
Every Dragon Boat Festival, every family will eat zongzi, hang ai cao, wear sachets, dragon boat races, poetry festival, commemorate Qu Yuan, celebrate the festival.
However, with the change of times, more and more foreign cultures have penetrated into our lives, the once lively festivals have been gradually forgotten by people, we seem to no longer care about the traditional culture for thousands of years, but turn more attention to western festivals, such as "Christmas" and "April Fools Day".While we were still basking in the laughter of Western festivals, in 2006, South Korea applied to UNESCO for the Dragon Boat Festival to be listed as its intangible cultural Heritage and a national heritage site.
Listening to these, we are what kind of mood, this is not only a traditional festival gains and losses, not only a few celebration activities, more importantly, it is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, it retains the unique cultural memory of the Chinese nation.Each traditional festival can strengthen the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation.But now, this traditional festival that we have spent more than two thousand years has become the national heritage of other countries, how embarrassed and helpless we are.
Chinese traditional festivals are colorful and rich in cultural connotations, preserving the unique cultural memory of our ancestors.We should appreciate and Revere the historical and cultural heritage created by our ancestors.
Thank you, my speech is over, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
Dear teachers and students:
Today my speech topic under the national flag is: To commemorate Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival.
As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.So how does Dragon Boat Festival come about?Dragon Boat Festival is also known as Dragon Boat Festival, "end" and "beginning" of the meaning of the same, so "Dragon Boat Festival" is also known as "the fifth".The "five" of the Dragon Boat Festival is connected with the "Afternoon". According to the order of the branches, may is just the "afternoon" month.Because at noon and for "Yang Chen", so the End of the five is also called "Duanyang".Besides, the Dragon Boat Festival has many other names, such as Summer Festival, Bath Orchid Festival, Girls Festival, poets Festival and so on.
There are so many nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival, which indirectly explain the origin of the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.On the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, there are at least four or five kinds of views, such as to commemorate Qu Yuan said, evil moon evil sun drive said, Wu yue ethnic totem offering said, from the three generations of summer solstice festival said, and so on.
By far the most influential theory on the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan.In the field of folk culture, the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is dragon boat racing.According to legend, people of the ancient State of Chu died in the river because they did not want to give up the virtuous minister Qu Yuan, so they rowed to save him.They lost sight of Qu Yuan when they reached Dongting Lake.Later, on the fifth day of may every year, people commemorate Qu Yuan by rowing dragon boats.
Eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of the Chinese people.Zongzi, also known as "tube reed" and "jiao Shu", has a long history and many patterns.Every year in early May, every Chinese household will soak glutinous rice, wash zongzi leaves, and make zongzi in a variety of colors.The custom of eating zongzi has been popular in China for thousands of years and has spread to South Korea, Japan and other Southeast Asian countries.
