UNIT 1 FESTIVALS AND CELEBRATIONS;Chinese Dragon Boat Festival In 2020,the date of Chinese Dragon Boat Festival will be June 25,which is Thursday.Known as the Duanwu Festival in China,it falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year,which was established① in memory of a famous official and patriotic② poet Qu Yuan.As the first traditional Chinese festival listed on the World’s Intangible Cultural Heritages,it is one of the most important lunar festivals in China.;Dragon Boat Festival can be traced back to 2,000 years ago and there’re many legends about this festival,among which the most famous one is about commemorating(纪念) Qu Yuan,who was a famous minister and patriot poet during the Period of Warring States.During his life he strongly advocated③ recommending④ talents from all social levels,enriching⑤ the country and building up the military forces.However,his advocates were strongly rejected⑥ and he was forced to resign and sent to the remote area of the country,where he wrote a lot of famous poems to express his love for the Chu State.?;In BC 278,the capital of Chu State was captured by the Qin Army.Qu Yuan was so sad that he killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River after hearing the news on the fifth of the fifth lunar month.It is said that when Qu Yuan drowned himself into the river,many fishermen rode their boats on the river,trying to find his body,but Qu Yuan’s body could no longer be found.Every year later locals would ride dragon boats in memory of Qu Yuan. In the late Qing Dynasty,Taiwan started to hold dragon boat racing match and later the activity becomes popular in Hong Kong and Chinese neighboring countries like Japan and Vietnam. In 1991,the first International Dragon Boat Festival was held in Yueyang City,Hunan Province.After that,the Hunan Province holds the International Dragon Boat Festival regularly.To this day,the racing of dragon-designed boats is very popular in areas near to rivers,lakes,or seas.;词海拾贝 ①establish vt.建立 ②pa
