浅浅话端午
There is a special festival in China. On the special day, people always have loong boat races. During the race, about twenty men in the boat make it move quickly. There is always a man sitting in the front of the boat. He beats a drum (击鼓) to make the others in the same rhythm (节奏). From this race, we have the name of this festival: Loong Boat Festival. This special day has another name — Duanwu Festival. We have a story about it. Long long ago, there was a famous poet called Qu Yuan. He was famous not only for his poems, but also for thinking of a lot of people. After he died, people eat zongzi in memory of him on this special day.
