端午節的由來中英介紹

端午節是古老的傳統節日，始於中國的春秋戰國時期，至今已有2019多年曆史，下面是小編收集整理的端午節的由來中英介紹，希望對你有所幫助！

紀念屈原

據《史記》“屈原賈生列傳”記載，屈原，是春秋時期楚懷王的大臣。他倡導舉賢授能，富國強兵，力主聯齊抗秦，遭到貴族子蘭等人的強烈反對，他遭讒去職，被趕出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中，寫下了憂國憂民的《離騷》、《天問》、《九歌》等不朽詩篇，獨具風貌，影響深遠（因而，端午節也稱詩人

節）。公元前278年，秦軍攻破楚國京都。屈原眼看自己的祖國被侵略，心如刀割，但是始終不忍捨棄自己的祖國，於五月初五，在寫下了絕筆作《懷沙》之後，抱石投汨羅江身死，以自己的生命譜寫了一曲壯麗的愛國主義樂章。 傳說屈原死後，楚國百姓哀傷不已，紛紛湧到汨羅江邊去憑弔屈原。漁夫們划起船隻，在江上來回打撈他的真身。有位漁夫拿出為屈原準備的飯糰、雞蛋等食物，“撲通、撲通”地丟進江裡，說是讓魚龍蝦蟹吃飽了，就不會去咬屈大夫的身體了。人們見後紛紛仿效。一位老醫師則拿來一罈雄黃酒倒進江裡，說是要藥暈蛟龍水獸，以免傷害屈大夫。後來為怕飯被蛟龍所食，人們想出用楝樹葉包飯，外纏彩絲，發展成粽子。 以後，在每年的五月初五，就有了龍舟競渡、吃粽子、喝雄黃酒的風俗，以此來紀念愛國詩人屈原。

紀念伍子胥

端午節的第二個傳說，在浙江一帶流傳很廣，是紀念春秋時期的伍子胥。伍子胥名員，楚國人，父兄均為楚王所殺，後來子胥棄暗投明，奔向吳國，助吳伐楚，五

戰而入楚都郢城。當時楚平王已死，子胥掘墓鞭屍三百，以報殺父兄之仇。吳王闔廬死後，其子夫差繼位，吳軍士氣高昂，百戰百勝，越國大敗，越王勾踐請和，夫差許之。子胥建議，應徹底消滅越國，夫差不聽，吳國大宰輔伯嚭受越國賄賂，讒言陷害子胥，夫差信之，賜子胥寶劍，子胥以此死。子胥本為忠良，視死如歸，在死前對鄰舍人說：“我死後，將我眼睛挖出懸掛在吳京之東門上，以看越國軍*入城滅吳”，便自刎而死，夫差聞言大怒，令取子胥之屍體裝在皮革裡於五月五日投入大江，因此相傳端午節亦為紀念伍子胥之日。

紀念孝女曹娥

端午節的第三個傳說，是為紀念東漢孝女曹娥救父投江。曹娥是東漢上虞人，父親溺於江中，數日不見屍體，當時孝女曹娥年僅十四歲，晝夜沿江號哭。過了十七天，在五月五日也投江，五日後抱出父屍。就此傳為神話，繼而相傳至縣府知事，令度尚為之立碑，讓他的弟子邯鄲淳作誄辭頌揚。 孝女曹娥之墓，在今浙江紹興，後傳曹娥碑為晉王義所書。後人為紀念曹娥的孝節，在曹娥投江之處興建嫦娥廟，她所居住的村鎮改名為曹娥鎮，曹娥殉父之處定名為曹娥江。

Commemorating Qu Yuan

Qu Yuan was the Minister of Chu Huai king in the spring and Autumn period. He advocated the ability to teach the virtuous, the rich country and the army, the strong advocate of Lian Qi anti Qin, and the strong opposition of the aristocrats and others.
