| There is an interesting festival in China. On that special day, people in Hunan province always have a dragon boat match. The dragon boat is quite long, like a dragon.There are pictures of dragons on each side. The front of the boat is like the head of a dragon. During the match, about twenty men in the boat make it move as fast as it can. Among them stands another man. He beats a drum (敲鼓) to make the others boat in the same rhythm (节奏). It's an exciting match, especially when they are reaching the end. The audience along the lake shout for their favorite team. From this match, we have the name of the festival-the Dragon Boat Festival. This special day has another name-Duanwu Festival. In it we have a story. Long, long ago, there was a famous poet (诗人) called Qu Yuan. He was famous not only for his poems, but also for thinking a lot for (为某人着想) the people. After he died, people eat rice dumplings in memory of him on this special day. |
