Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the fifth day of May in the lunar calendar. A day before this festival, my mother and grandmother began to make zongzi. Of course, I would act as assistant. But it turned out that I was more of a hindrance than a help. When they finished, they started to cook them. This process needed a long time, because I could have them in the next day. Zongzi was very delicious. On the day of dragon boat festival, our family prepared for dinner after having breakfast. Everyone of my family will come back home for the solid diet. Chicken is indispensable on the dinner desk in Chinese traditional festival. There were many delicious foods, which made me watering. I ate lots of them. It is a wonderful festival.

　　端午节是中国的传统节日。是农历五月初五。我妈妈和奶奶在节日的前一天就开始包粽子了。当然，我会去打打下手。但事实证明，我是在帮倒忙。她们包完粽子之后就开始煮了。这个过程需要很长的时间，因为我要到第二天才可以吃到粽子。粽子非常好吃。在端午节这一天，我们家里吃过早饭就开始准备晚餐了。家里所有人都会回家吃这丰盛的食物。在中国传统节日的餐桌上鸡是必不可少的。还有很多好吃的、让我流口水的食物。我吃了很多。这是一个美好的节日。

  名称由来：

  “端午”二字最早见于晋代周处的《风土记》：“仲夏端午，烹乌角黍。” “端”字有“初始”的意思，因此“端五”就是“初五”。而按照历法五月正是“午”月，因此“端五”也就渐渐演变成了“端午”。《燕京岁时记》记载：“初五为五月单五，盖端字之转音也。”

  “端午”的“端”字本义为“正”，“午”为“中”，这天午时则为正中之正。古人以天干地支来作为载体，天干承载天之道，地支承载地之道，设天干地支以契天地人事之运，纪元通用天干地支。仲夏午月午日飞龙在天，此时龙星处在正南中天，为全年周天运行最“中正”之位，既“得中”又“得正”，乃大吉大利之象。古人历来崇尚中、正之道，“中正“之道在此表现得淋漓尽致。另，端亦有“初”的意思，因此午（五）月的第一个午日，亦谓端午。
