“粽子香，香厨房。艾草香，香满堂。桃枝插在大门上，出门一望麦儿黄。这儿端阳，那儿端阳，处处都端阳。”

这是奶奶在端午节时教我的歌谣。记得爸爸常跟我说起他童年的往事，在他的故事里，端午节对他是一个充满好奇而又充满期待的节日：在初夏那个节日的晚上，剥开一个粽子，满屋飘香，大家围在一起，小孩缠着大人讲那个熟悉但却百听不厌的故事：两千多年以前，古老的中国战火纷飞，在农历五月初五的那一天，有一位忧国忧民的爱国诗人看到自己的国家面临着亡国危运，而他心中的抱负却无法实现，他悲痛欲绝怀抱着石头投向波涛滚滚的汨罗江，他就是屈原；渔民划着船，四处寻找他们爱戴的屈原，他们为了让水中的鱼儿不吃掉屈原的身体，就把糯米裹在散发着清香的竹叶里，投到了江里……每当故事讲到这时，大人们总会指着天空说：“你看，天空中那颗最明亮的星星，就是屈原化成的。”而小孩子们便会抬起头遥望着那深邃的天空，寻找那颗最明亮的星星。

又到一年粽飘香，你是否对端午节有所期待呢？吃着粽子，是否能吃出粽子中的那段故事？遥望天空，隔着笼罩着的蒙蒙工业雾气，是否还能望得见天上那颗闪耀的星星？

高楼大厦平地而起，大片的麦田消失了，在城市的边缘，我们已经很难看见“出门一望麦儿黄”的景象了。是啊，时空的变换，端午节是否也在这钢筋水泥的挤压中越走越远呢？喧闹的城市，承载着人们太多的欲望，父辈们的欢乐，是否已淹没在城市的闪烁的霓虹灯中了呢？

我们已经不能理解父辈们少时的期待了，只要我想，随时都可以吃到各式各样的粽子，而粽子的味道似乎也越来也乏味，而我们感兴趣的是笑容可掬的麦当劳叔叔，那慈眉善目的肯德鸡爷爷；我们也对那古老的故事也缺乏兴趣了，只要我想，我随时可以在网上看米老鼠和唐老鸭！对奶奶教我的歌谣，我也觉得有些老土，只要我想，我随时可以在我的MP3播放器中录制各类摇滚歌曲！

然而，我们没有感到缺少了一些什么吗？我们似乎缺少了一些快乐，缺少了一些向往，缺少了一些责任。在喧闹中，我们正在迷失方向！

"Dumplings incense, incense kitchen. Ai grass incense, incense fertility. Peach sticks inserted in the door, looking out of wheat yellow. Duanyang here, there duanyang, everywhere duanyang."

This is the song grandma taught me during the Dragon Boat Festival. Remember father always told me about his childhood, in his story, the Dragon Boat Festival for he is a curious and expectant festival: in early summer the night of the festival, which opened a rice dumplings, house full of fragrance, you gather in together, kids pestering adults tell the story of the familiar can't get enough but: more than two thousand years ago, the ancient Chinese wars, in the day of the fifth lunar month, is a patriotic poet still see their country is faced with crisis of subjugation, and his heart ambition is not possible, grief at his arms for the stones into the miluo river waves roll, he was qu yuan; Fishermen rowing the boat, and search for their love of qu yuan, in order to let the fish in the water they don't eat qu yuan's body, the glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, faint scent, throw into the river... Every time the story is told, the grown-ups will point to the sky and say, "look, the brightest star in the sky is the one that qu yuan has turned into." And the children would look up at the deep sky and look for the brightest star.

After another year, do you have any expectations for the Dragon Boat Festival? Eating zongzi, can you eat the story in zongzi? Can you see the shining star in the sky?

From the ground up, large fields of wheat have disappeared, and on the edge of the city, it is hard to see the sight of "go out and see the yellow." Is it, the transformation of space and time, whether the Dragon Boat Festival is also in the squeeze of the concrete and steel the farther and farther away? The noisy cities, which carry too much of the appetite of the people, the joys of our fathers, have drowned in the flashing neon lights of the city?

We have already can't understand when fathers are looking forward to, as long as I want to, can eat to all kinds of dumplings, and the taste of zongzi also seems to be the more to also boring, and we are interested in is smiling McDonald's uncle, the personality of the KFC grandpa; We also have a lack of interest in that old story, as long as I think I can always watch Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck on the Internet! I also think that some of the songs that my grandmother taught me were a bit old-fashioned, as long as I thought, I can always record rock songs in my MP3 player!

But don't we feel the lack of something? We seem to lack some happiness, lack of yearning, and a lack of responsibility. In the noise, we are getting lost!

端午节到咯！我们家特地买来一盒粽子来欢度端午。我津津有味地品尝着美味的粽子，不禁赞道：“真是好吃，希望每天都是端午节。”话音刚落，我就听见妈妈足以传遍整栋楼的尖叫，我和爸爸急忙赶过去。

只见妈妈指着一个房间的门，惊恐地说：“这怎么回事！”我和爸爸不约而同地往门内一望，同时被吓到了。我的天啊！这房间里面摆得全都是大大小小的盒装粽子！我连忙掐了自己一下，“哎哟，痛死我了……看来不是梦……”

“你去！”爸爸妈妈互相对望一眼，极有默契地双手一推，把我推入“粽海”。

“胆小鬼！”我一边抱怨一边望向粽子包装盒。只见盒子上赫然写着几个大字“雷神牌粽子”，然后下面是一个造型惊人的“神”，后面跟着歌词“偶雷偶雷偶雷偶雷……”我愕然，难道这就是传说中的“雷神”！

为了解决这不速之客——“雷神牌粽子”，我和爸妈访亲拜友，白送粽子。送的人家都不好意思要了。哪知送完了一批粽子还剩一大堆，堆的跟山一样高。

为了正常的作息，夺回被粽子霸占的房间。我被迫当起了小贩。每天放完学就一边写作业，一边卖粽子。可是端午节都过去了，生意惨淡啊！我埋没在一堆粽子里，过往的人们在粽子前面纷纷议论，“这孩子真可怜，哪位好心人，把她的粽子买几盒送到废品收购站吧……”我汗如雨下。

因为学习退步的缘故，老妈结束了我的“小贩生涯”，她一脸沉重的告诉我后果——那就是，每天一日三餐都得多加2个大粽子！

这项决定导致我一听跟粽子谐音或沾边的词胃里就开始翻滚。可那一大堆粽子还是不见少……

下一个端午要来了，我们还在与粽子作艰苦斗争，这就是我们家传说中的“粽子战争”。这粽子好像怎么吃也吃不完。

就在我们一家陷入绝望时，一个唱着“偶雷偶雷偶雷偶雷……”的东西(？)经过，一听歌词，怎么那么耳熟？我一看，天哪！竟然是雷神！(这形象已深入我心。)我看见他马上大吼：“我不要房间里的这些粽子啦！！”，一瞬间，那些“雷神牌粽子”消失的无影无踪。我长舒一口气，终于不用再受折磨了。

下一个端午前夕。爸爸又抱着一大盒粽子回到家，我看着这一情景，默默地站了很久，然后像纸片一样轻飘飘地跌在地面。在昏倒之前，我用最后一丝气息缓缓说道：“我不要再吃……“雷神牌”粽子了……”

然后昏倒在地。

爸爸看着我，缓缓说道：“这是今年的粽子。”

The Dragon Boat Festival is here! Our family specially bought a box of zongzi to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. I tasted the delicious dumplings with relish, and said, "it's delicious. I hope it's Dragon Boat Festival every day." As soon as I heard it, I heard my mother screaming in the whole building, and my father and I hurried over.

She pointed to the door of a room and said in horror, "what's going on?" My father and I looked at each other in the door, and we were frightened. Oh my god! The room was full of small boxes of rice dumplings! I quickly pinched myself, "ouch, it hurts me... it doesn't look like a dream..."

"You go! Mom and dad looked at each other, and they pushed me into the sea of rice.

"Coward! As I complained, I looked at the dumplings box. See box impressively write letters "thor" brand rice dumplings ", then the following is a modelling "god", followed by the words "accidentally LeiOu LeiOu LeiOu ray..." I am stunned, this is the legend of "thor"!

In order to solve this unexpected guest, "thor zongzi", my parents and I visited our relatives and sent zongzi. The people in the house were embarrassed to ask for it. There is a lot of zongzi left, and the pile is as high as the mountain.

In order to get a normal routine, retake the room which is occupied by zongzi. I was forced to be a peddler. Finish your homework every day and sell zongzi. But the Dragon Boat Festival is over. I buried in a pile of rice dumplings, past people whispering in front of the rice dumplings, "the child is really poor, which good intention, send her dumplings a few boxes to the junkyard..." I sweat like a rain.

For the sake of learning step mom over my "vendor lives", she told me a face of heavy consequences - that is, three meals a day every day must add 2 big rice dumplings!

This decision caused me to start rolling in my stomach with the word "zongzi" or "the word". But that big pile of dumplings is still missing...

The next Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and we are still struggling with zongzi. This is the "zongzi war" in our legend. The dumplings seem to be eating and eating.

As one of our family was in despair, one of them sang "the occasional thunderer." (?) After listening to the lyrics, how do you know? Oh, my god! Thor! This image has penetrated my heart. I saw him roar at once: "I don't want the dumplings in the room!!" In a flash, those "thor dumplings" disappeared. I breathed a sigh of relief, and finally I didn't have to suffer any more.

The next Dragon Boat Festival eve. My father came home with a big box of zongzi, and I watched the scene, standing silently for a long time, then falling on the ground like a piece of paper. Before I fainted, I slowly said, "I don't want to eat..." Thor: "dumplings..."

Then he fainted in the ground.

Dad looked at me and said slowly, "this is the zongzi this year."

一年一度的端午即将来临，我抱着万分期待的心情等待着……

赛龙舟，是端午节的主要习俗。源于古时候，楚国人因舍不得贤臣屈原投江死去，许多人划船追赶去拯救。他们争先恐后，追至洞庭湖时不见踪迹。之后每年五月五日划龙舟以纪念之。借划龙舟驱散江中之鱼，以免鱼吃掉屈原的身体。

端午节我们是要吃粽子的，这是中国人民的传统习俗。粽子被正式定为端午节食品。这时，包粽子的原料除糯米外，还添加中药益智仁，煮熟的粽子称“益智粽米中掺杂、板栗、红枣、赤豆等，品种增多。粽子还用作交往的礼品。

名家艾、艾蒿。它的茎、叶都含有挥发性芳香油。它所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。菖蒲是多年生水生草本植物，它狭长的叶片也含有挥发性芳香油，是提神通窍、健骨消滞、杀虫灭菌的药物

可见，古人插艾和菖蒲是有一定防病作用的。端午节也是自古相传的“卫生节”，人们在这一天洒扫庭院，挂艾枝，悬菖蒲，洒雄黄水，饮雄黄酒，激浊除腐，杀菌防病。这些活动也反映了中华民族的优良传统。

到了唐代，粽子的用米，已“白莹如玉”，其形状出现锥形、菱形。粽子的包裹料已从菰叶变革为箬叶，后来又出现用芦苇叶包的粽子，附加料已出现豆沙、猪肉、松子仁、枣子、胡桃等等，品种更加丰富多彩。

一直到今天，每年五月初，中国百姓家家都要浸糯米、洗粽叶、包粽子，其花色品种更为繁多。从馅料看，北方多包小枣的北京枣粽；南方则有豆沙、鲜肉、火腿、蛋黄等多种馅料，其中以浙江嘉兴粽子为代表。

Duanwu Festival (端午节, Duānwū Jié) 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(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.

The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) 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 fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow(船头).

In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," due to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown(名声名望).

Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.

泱华夏，盛开着五十六朵民族之花。不同的地区、不同的民族，都有着自己独具特色的民风民俗。不一样的节日，不一样的穿着，不一样的食物，不一样的居民……在我们这个大中国里有许许多多的传统节日：有中秋节，端午节，重阳节，元宵节，清明节……在这么多的节日里我最喜欢的还是归“端午节”莫属。“端午”一个多么起眼的词语，它的大名家喻户晓，与它相关的传说更是无人不知，无人不晓。

关于端午节有许许多多的习俗：吃粽子，赛龙舟，插艾草……我最喜欢的当然还是吃粽子啦！

每年的五月初五是端午节。这一天早早的，大街小巷，家家户户都弥漫着清新的粽叶香。这一天人们要吃粽子，所以不论是商家店铺，还是寻常人家都早早泡好粽叶，备好黏米和馅料准备包粽子。这不，一大早粽子就似变魔术般被包好，煮熟了。这时心急的我望着冒着热气的粽子会吵着要吃，而爸爸会耐心地哄道：“先等一会儿，用凉水拔一下再吃吧。”终于可以吃了，我迫不及待地剥开粽叶，那好看的，黏黏的粽露了出来，咬一口真是香粽爽滑，三口两口吃掉后，我一般还要吃，谁让它这样香甜又可口呢！

在香甜可口的粽子后面有着一个家喻户晓的民间故事：相传在古时候，有一位爱国诗人，叫屈原。他有渊博的知识和杰出的才华。但当时朝廷因被贱人所挑拨，屈原被轻视，无人欣赏他的才华。不仅如此，当时朝廷腐败无能。屈原无法忍受朝廷的腐败，竟跳进汨罗江自尽了。他的故事被人一代代流传下去。于是人们为了纪念他，每逢五月五日端午佳节都包粽子投入江中，防止江里的鱼儿吃屈原的尸体。
