端午節的起源

 

端午節

The Dragon Boat Festival

 

　　這個節日的起源主要是一位名叫屈原的學術政府官員，他也是一位偉大的詩人。

The origin of this festival centers around a scholarly government official named Qu Yuan，and he is also a great poet.

 

　　他愛國愛民受人尊敬，卻由于被嫉妒而受到陷害，逐漸被皇帝冷落。

He was a patriotic and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.

 

　　屈原由于無法得到皇帝重用，眼看著自己的國家淪陷，于是投如汨羅江自盡。

Unable to regain the respect of the emperor, watching his country falling into enemies, Qu Yuan threw himself into the Mi Low river and killed himself.

 

　　汨羅江畔的百姓劃船在江中尋找他們尊敬愛戴的屈原，并且將米丟入汨羅江中，使屈原避免蛟龍的傷害。

The local people living adjacent to the Mi Lo River rushed into their boats to search for him while throwing rice into the waters to appease the river dragons.

 

　　盡管他們當時并沒有找到屈原，但是他們的行為直到今天仍然被人們傳頌著。

Although they were unable to find Qu Yuan, their efforts are still celebrated today.
