2016年端午節(jié)英語作文：Dragon Boat Festival
dragon boat festival is one of the most important lunar festivals in china.it is on the 5th of the fifth lunar month.
almost every chinese spends this festival.before,in china,when this day comes,we don‘t have holiday.but from year on,the government specified this day as the holiday.therefore,we can have enough time and energy to celebrate this day.
in my memery,dragon boat festival is in memory of the greatest poet quyuan who was a patriot and died for his country.he died from suicide .he threw himself into the river.in order to memorize him,people invented the zongzi which is a pyramid-shaped dumpling made by glutinous rice wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves.this custom is handed down till now.we now still eat zongzi.when it mentions zongzi,we have to mention jiaxing zongzi from zhenjiang province.the zongzi from this place is very famous and delicious .we suggest you should have a try.
besides eating zongzi in this festival,some places also have dragon boat races.it is also in memory of quyuan.dragon boat is a quite interesting game which is liked by people deeply.also there are many other activities that day.in my hometown,we need to eat eggs.i think everyone must have their own ways to celebrate their festival.
