The day is called Duan Wu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China. This festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. The best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. When he realized the decline of Chu was beyond recovery, his remorse knowing he could no longer save it grew stronger and stronger. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he threw himself into the river and died for his beloved homeland. 农历五月初五是中国人的重要节日。这一天被称为端午节，或龙舟节，在中国各地庆祝。这个节日可以追溯到大约2000年前，有许多传说解释了它的起源。最有名的故事是关于一个伟大的爱国诗人屈原的。当他意识到楚国的衰落已经无法挽回时，他知道自己再也无法挽救楚国的悔恨越来越强烈。在农历五月初五，他投河自尽，为他深爱的祖国而死。 In the Warring States Period (475-221BC), the State of Qin in the west was bent on annexing the other states, including the state of Chu, home of Qu Yuan. Holding the second highest office in the state, Qu Yuan urged that the Chu State should resist Qin and ally with the State of Qi to the east. This was opposed by Zhangyi, a minister of the State of Qin who was trying to disrupt any anti-Qin alliances. He seized upon an incident with a jealous court official in Chu to get rid of Qu Yuan. 战国时期（公元前 475-221 年），西方的秦国一心想吞并其他国家，其中包括屈原的故乡楚国。屈原身居秦国第二把手，他敦促楚国抵抗秦国，并与东方的齐国结盟。这遭到了秦国大臣张仪的反对，他试图破坏任何反秦联盟。他利用楚国一位嫉妒的朝臣的事件除掉了屈原。 Qu Yuan had refused to let Jin Shang, the chief minister in the State of Chu, have a look at a draft of a decree he had been asked to draw up. In anger Jin spread the rumor that Qu Yuan was leaking state secrets. He said that Qu Yuan had boasted that without his aid no decree could be drafted. This made the King of Chu feel that Qu Yuan was belittling him.When the story reached the ears of Zhang Yi in Qin, he secretly sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewels to Chu to bribe Jin Shang and the king's favorite concubine to form an anti-Qu Yuan clique. The result was that the King of Chu finally banished Qu Yuan from the capital in 313 BC. 屈原拒绝让楚国宰相看他起草的诏书草稿。晋尚一怒之下散布谣言说屈原泄露了国家机密。他说屈原曾夸口说，没有他的帮助，任何诏书都起草不出来。这让楚王觉得屈原在贬低他。此事传到秦国张仪的耳中，张仪秘密送大量金银珠宝到楚国，贿赂晋商和楚王宠妃，组成反屈原派，最终导致楚王于公元前313年将屈原逐出楚国。 The next year, as relations between Qin and Chu worsened, Qu Yuan was called back and named to a high office, but the clique continued its machinations against him.In 299 BC after several unsuccessful forays against Chu, Qin invited the King of Chu over, ostensibly for talks. Qu Yuan feared this was a trap and urged his king not to go. The latter would not listen and even accused Qu Yuan for interfering.On the way, the King of Chu was seized by Qin troops. He died in captivity three years later.  第二年，秦楚关系恶化，屈原被召回，并被任命为高官，但楚国政府仍继续密谋反对他。公元前 299 年，秦国数次征讨楚国未果，于是以谈判为名，邀请楚王前来。屈原担心这是陷阱，劝楚王不要前往。楚王不听，甚至指责屈原干涉。途中，楚王被秦军俘虏。三年后，楚王在囚禁中去世。 In 296 BC, Qu Yuan, then in his mid 50s, was banished for the second time. Grieving for the condition of his homeland, for years he wandered about south of the Yangtze River.During this period he poured out his feelings of grief and concern for his homeland in the allegorical Li Sao, a long autobiographical poem in which he tells of his political ideal and the corruption and mismanagement of the court.Qu Yuan's sufferings had gained the sympathy of the people of Chu. In memory of him, every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the day he drowned himself, dragon boat races, which are said to represent the search for his body, are held, and the Chinese people eat Zong Zi, little packets of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, which was originally thrown into the river to keep the fishes from eating the body of Qu Yuan. In addition, it is said that when hearing the news of Qu Yuan's suicide, some doctors poured realgar wine into the Miluo River to anaesthetize the fishes, hence preventing them from eating Qu Yuan's body. 公元前296年，50多岁的屈原第二次被流放。他为祖国的境况感到悲痛，在长江以南流浪了多年。在此期间，他在寓言诗《离骚》中倾诉了对祖国的悲痛和忧国之情。《离骚》是一首长篇自传体诗，他在其中讲述了自己的政治理想以及朝廷的腐败和管理不善。屈原的遭遇赢得了楚人的同情。为了纪念他，每年农历五月初五，也就是他投河自尽的那一天，楚人都会举行龙舟赛，据说这代表着寻找屈原的尸体，中国人还会吃粽子，粽子是用竹叶包裹的小糯米包，最初是为了防止鱼儿吞食屈原的尸体而扔进江里的。此外，据说当一些医生听到屈原自杀的消息时，就把雄黄酒倒入汨罗江中麻醉鱼儿，从而阻止它们吞食屈原的尸体。 文章导读 在中国的悠久历史中，节日不仅仅是时间的标记，更是文化传承的载体。端午节，作为中国四大传统节日之一，承载了丰富的文化内涵和深厚的民俗风情。这个古老而充满魅力的节日，正等待着我们去揭开它的神秘面纱。端午节，又称龙舟节、重午节、端阳节等，每年农历五月初五庆祝。这一天，家家户户都会沉浸在浓厚的节日氛围中，挂艾叶、佩香囊、赛龙舟、吃粽子，各种习俗让人目不暇接。而端午节最具特色的美食——粽子，更是让人垂涎欲滴。用糯米包裹着豆沙、咸蛋黄、猪肉等各种馅料，再用粽叶包裹成三角形或菱角形，蒸煮后散发出诱人的香气。品尝一口粽子，仿佛就能感受到端午节浓厚的节日氛围和家人的温暖。 生词释义及习语表达： · lunar     adj.阴历的 · patriotic   adj. 爱国的 · remorse   n. 懊悔，自责 · Warring States Period   战国时代 · bent on sth  决心要做，一心想做 · get rid of   摆脱；除掉 · decree   n.法令；裁定 · draw up   起草 · belittle   v.贬低，小看 · bribe    v.贿赂 · banish    v.放逐；赶走 · clique   n.派系；小集团 · foray    n.突袭 · the Yangtze River  长江 · allegorical    adj.讽喻的；寓言的 · glutinous rice   糯米 时文阅读 01—露营节 Family-friendly Camping FestivalAnnounced(宣布） Pop stars Sophie,Gabrielle and Squeeze will have performances at a special festival for members of the Camping and Caravanning Club this Autumn.

The day is called Duan Wu Festival, or Dragon Boat Festival, celebrated everywhere in China. This festival dates back to about 2,000 years ago with a number of legends explaining its origin. The best-known story centers on a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan. When he realized the decline of Chu was beyond recovery, his remorse knowing he could no longer save it grew stronger and stronger. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he threw himself into the river and died for his beloved homeland. 农历五月初五是中国人的重要节日。这一天被称为端午节，或龙舟节，在中国各地庆祝。这个节日可以追溯到大约2000年前，有许多传说解释了它的起源。最有名的故事是关于一个伟大的爱国诗人屈原的。当他意识到楚国的衰落已经无法挽回时，他知道自己再也无法挽救楚国的悔恨越来越强烈。在农历五月初五，他投河自尽，为他深爱的祖国而死。 In the Warring States Period (475-221BC), the State of Qin in the west was bent on annexing the other states, including the state of Chu, home of Qu Yuan. Holding the second highest office in the state, Qu Yuan urged that the Chu State should resist Qin and ally with the State of Qi to the east. This was opposed by Zhangyi, a minister of the State of Qin who was trying to disrupt any anti-Qin alliances. He seized upon an incident with a jealous court official in Chu to get rid of Qu Yuan. 战国时期（公元前 475-221 年），西方的秦国一心想吞并其他国家，其中包括屈原的故乡楚国。屈原身居秦国第二把手，他敦促楚国抵抗秦国，并与东方的齐国结盟。这遭到了秦国大臣张仪的反对，他试图破坏任何反秦联盟。他利用楚国一位嫉妒的朝臣的事件除掉了屈原。 Qu Yuan had refused to let Jin Shang, the chief minister in the State of Chu, have a look at a draft of a decree he had been asked to draw up. In anger Jin spread the rumor that Qu Yuan was leaking state secrets. He said that Qu Yuan had boasted that without his aid no decree could be drafted. This made the King of Chu feel that Qu Yuan was belittling him.When the story reached the ears of Zhang Yi in Qin, he secretly sent a large amount of gold, silver and jewels to Chu to bribe Jin Shang and the king's favorite concubine to form an anti-Qu Yuan clique. The result was that the King of Chu finally banished Qu Yuan from the capital in 313 BC. 屈原拒绝让楚国宰相看他起草的诏书草稿。晋尚一怒之下散布谣言说屈原泄露了国家机密。他说屈原曾夸口说，没有他的帮助，任何诏书都起草不出来。这让楚王觉得屈原在贬低他。此事传到秦国张仪的耳中，张仪秘密送大量金银珠宝到楚国，贿赂晋商和楚王宠妃，组成反屈原派，最终导致楚王于公元前313年将屈原逐出楚国。 The next year, as relations between Qin and Chu worsened, Qu Yuan was called back and named to a high office, but the clique continued its machinations against him.In 299 BC after several unsuccessful forays against Chu, Qin invited the King of Chu over, ostensibly for talks. Qu Yuan feared this was a trap and urged his king not to go. The latter would not listen and even accused Qu Yuan for interfering.On the way, the King of Chu was seized by Qin troops. He died in captivity three years later.  第二年，秦楚关系恶化，屈原被召回，并被任命为高官，但楚国政府仍继续密谋反对他。公元前 299 年，秦国数次征讨楚国未果，于是以谈判为名，邀请楚王前来。屈原担心这是陷阱，劝楚王不要前往。楚王不听，甚至指责屈原干涉。途中，楚王被秦军俘虏。三年后，楚王在囚禁中去世。 In 296 BC, Qu Yuan, then in his mid 50s, was banished for the second time. Grieving for the condition of his homeland, for years he wandered about south of the Yangtze River.During this period he poured out his feelings of grief and concern for his homeland in the allegorical Li Sao, a long autobiographical poem in which he tells of his political ideal and the corruption and mismanagement of the court.Qu Yuan's sufferings had gained the sympathy of the people of Chu. In memory of him, every year on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, the day he drowned himself, dragon boat races, which are said to represent the search for his body, are held, and the Chinese people eat Zong Zi, little packets of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, which was originally thrown into the river to keep the fishes from eating the body of Qu Yuan. In addition, it is said that when hearing the news of Qu Yuan's suicide, some doctors poured realgar wine into the Miluo River to anaesthetize the fishes, hence preventing them from eating Qu Yuan's body. 公元前296年，50多岁的屈原第二次被流放。他为祖国的境况感到悲痛，在长江以南流浪了多年。在此期间，他在寓言诗《离骚》中倾诉了对祖国的悲痛和忧国之情。《离骚》是一首长篇自传体诗，他在其中讲述了自己的政治理想以及朝廷的腐败和管理不善。屈原的遭遇赢得了楚人的同情。为了纪念他，每年农历五月初五，也就是他投河自尽的那一天，楚人都会举行龙舟赛，据说这代表着寻找屈原的尸体，中国人还会吃粽子，粽子是用竹叶包裹的小糯米包，最初是为了防止鱼儿吞食屈原的尸体而扔进江里的。此外，据说当一些医生听到屈原自杀的消息时，就把雄黄酒倒入汨罗江中麻醉鱼儿，从而阻止它们吞食屈原的尸体。 文章导读 在中国的悠久历史中，节日不仅仅是时间的标记，更是文化传承的载体。端午节，作为中国四大传统节日之一，承载了丰富的文化内涵和深厚的民俗风情。这个古老而充满魅力的节日，正等待着我们去揭开它的神秘面纱。端午节，又称龙舟节、重午节、端阳节等，每年农历五月初五庆祝。这一天，家家户户都会沉浸在浓厚的节日氛围中，挂艾叶、佩香囊、赛龙舟、吃粽子，各种习俗让人目不暇接。而端午节最具特色的美食——粽子，更是让人垂涎欲滴。用糯米包裹着豆沙、咸蛋黄、猪肉等各种馅料，再用粽叶包裹成三角形或菱角形，蒸煮后散发出诱人的香气。品尝一口粽子，仿佛就能感受到端午节浓厚的节日氛围和家人的温暖。 生词释义及习语表达： · lunar     adj.阴历的 · patriotic   adj. 爱国的 · remorse   n. 懊悔，自责 · Warring States Period   战国时代 · bent on sth  决心要做，一心想做 · get rid of   摆脱；除掉 · decree   n.法令；裁定 · draw up   起草 · belittle   v.贬低，小看 · bribe    v.贿赂 · banish    v.放逐；赶走 · clique   n.派系；小集团 · foray    n.突袭 · the Yangtze River  长江 · allegorical    adj.讽喻的；寓言的 · glutinous rice   糯米 时文阅读 01—露营节 Family-friendly Camping FestivalAnnounced(宣布） Pop stars Sophie,Gabrielle and Squeeze will have performances at a special festival for members of the Camping and Caravanning Club this Autumn.
