过端午节 英文作文
    The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, which usually falls in June on the Gregorian calendar. The festival has a history of over 2,000 years and is celebrated to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and statesman during the Warring States period.
    On this day, people will eat zongzi, a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves, and drink realgar wine, a yellow-colored wine made from fermented cereals and realgar, a type of arsenic sulfide. They will also participate in dragon boat races, which are held in many parts of the country. Dragon boats are long, narrow boats decorated with dragon heads and tails, and they are propelled by a team of rowers who paddle to the beat of a drum.
    In addition to these traditional activities, there are also modern ways to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. For example, people can watch dragon boat races online or participate
in virtual zongzi-making competitions. They can also send e-cards or messages to their friends and family to wish them a happy festival.
