1、...中国传统节日TraditionalChineseholiday中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如,我国的端午节(theDragonBoatFestival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天,人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满,象征着家庭团聚。因此,中秋节(TheMid-autumnFestival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(theChineselunarNewYear’sholiday),除了常见的家禽和肉类之外,人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物,如饺子和年糕。TraditionalCh

4、爱国诗人屈原。屈原是一位忠诚和受人敬仰的大臣,他给国家带来了和平和繁荣。但最后因为受到诽谤(vilify)而最终投河自尽。人们撑船到他自尽的地方,抛下粽子,希望鱼儿吃粽子,不要吃屈原的身躯。几千年来,端午节的特色在于吃粽子(glutinousdumplings)和赛龙舟,尤其是在一些河湖密布的南方省份。TheDuanwuFestival,alsocalledtheDragonBoatFestival,istocommemoratethepatrioticpoetQuYuan.QuYuanwasaloyalandhighlyesteemedminister,whobroughtpea
