In the mountains, I have also heard that after the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Chu Yuan is the original doctor, was a loyal, but he was a traitor of the frame and can not defend their own country. In order to show their loyalty, in order to arouse the patriotism of the people of Chu, Qu Yuan jumped into the river on to kill themselves in protest. Afraid of the people of Chu-ri Quyuan big fish on the package a lot of big rice dumplings, a big fish want to eat the big fish's mouth stick, so that it can not eat Qu Yuan had. Later, it had scheduled for this day for the Dragon Boat Festival, to take the form of dumplings to commemorate Qu Yuan.
Today, we are a family of four people to sit together to eat dumplings, but also to commemorate Qu Yuan, Qu Yuan as a good man, is a loyal, is a great patriotic poet. I would like to have the Dragon Boat Festival every year, remembering the people Qu Yuan, as he did love our great motherland.
今天是端午节，我一大早就和爸爸爬到山上去趟露水。在山上，我看见老人们用花草上的露水珠洗眼睛，原来，传说端午节早上晶莹的的露水珠能把眼睛洗得又明又亮。了解了这一秘密，我马上学着老人的样子，也认认真真的捧起猫眼睛一样明亮的露珠洗了自己的眼睛。
在山上，我还听说，过端午节是为了纪念爱国诗人屈原。原来屈原是楚国的大夫，还是个忠臣，但他受到奸臣的陷害，不能保卫自己的国家。为了表明自己的忠心，为了唤起楚国百姓的爱国之心，屈原就跳进大江里以死来抗争。楚国的老百姓害怕江里的大鱼吃屈原，就包了好多大大的粽子，想让大鱼一吃把大鱼的嘴粘住，这样它就吃不成屈原了。以后，人们就把这一天定为端午节，以吃粽子的形式来纪念屈原。
今天，我们一家四口人坐在一起吃粽子，也是为了纪念屈原，因为屈原是个好人，是个忠臣，是个伟大的爱国诗人。我要年年过端午节，牢牢记住屈原这个人，像他那样热爱我们伟大的祖国。
