端午节的起源
端午节在中国农历五月初五这一天庆祝，它是中国传统节日中最古老、最受欢迎的节日之一。
这个节日是为了纪念中国最优秀的诗人之一——屈原。《天问》是中国古诗集《楚辞》中的一篇，《楚辞》是战囯时期的中国诗歌选集。《天问》由屈原所写，广受世人推崇。这首诗里屈原向上苍提出了170多个关于中国神话和宗教信仰的问题，但他没有给出答案。
公元前278年，屈原被流放时，楚国被秦国攻占。看到深爱的国家被毁，他伤心欲绝，没多久就去世了。由于楚国人民非常景仰屈原，屈原之死的消息传开后，他们就划着小船从汨罗江一路到洞庭湖去紧急搜救他的遗体。
为了防止屈原的遗体被鱼吃掉，人们通过划船来扰乱水域。据说这就是一年一度的龙舟竞赛的起源。
据说，楚国人开始把粽子（包在竹筒里的带有不同馅料的糯米）扔进水里以吸引鱼儿，这样它们就不会吃屈原的遗体了。他们还往水里倒了一大罐烈性酒，使水里的龙平静下来，这样水龙也不会吃他的遗体了。
制作粽子的传统一直延续到今天，并发展出多种样式。除了米和鸡蛋，原料可能还包括红豆沙、肉和红枣。现在，韩国、日本和东南亚的人们也很喜欢制作粽子。
中国传统文化非常重视在人死后保持遗体的完整。在这个围绕端午节的传说中，这一点被生动地描绘了出来
