端午节的习俗英语作文一：

A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity

Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture. The most obvious example is probably Christmas, which is celebrated around the world by people who arent even Christian. Similarly, in recent years, the Dragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to bee an international holiday celebrated by people who may know little about the holidays origins.

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays, along with the Spring and Moon Festivals. Of the three, it is possibly the oldest, dating back to the Warring States Period in 227 B.C. The festival memorates Qu Yuan, a minister in the service of the Chu Emperor. Despairing over corruption at court, Qu threw himself into a river. Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried in vain to se him. Then, hoping to distract hungry fish from his body, the people scattered rice on the water.

Over the years, the story of Qus demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo lees. The races he certainly captured the imagination of people from all over the world. Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of China in cities from Vancouver to Sydney, from Gdańsk, Poland to Cape Town, South Africa. Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly 30.

So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners? Its an unusual sport, says one racer from Germany. Its not like everybodys doing it. Thats one of the reasons that theres such great team spirit in a dragon boat team everybody feels like were doing something special. And what about the zongzi? Ehhh, theyre not bad, I guess, he says. Something of an acquired taste. I just hent really acquired it yet.
