Dragon Boat Festival 屈原的故事

端午节的由来，一定会让大家联想到的传说之一，是诗人屈原的故事。

屈原是战国时代楚国的三闾大夫，他提倡要团结其他国家，来抵抗野心很大的秦国，但是偏偏楚怀王听信了小人的坏话，不肯听从屈原的劝告，结果被骗到秦国，关了起来，最后并死在秦国。

继位的楚襄王也受到小人的挑拨离间，误信屈原有很多坏处，不但没有听从屈原明智的劝告，还把它从楚国放逐了。

心怀大志，一直为国家大事担心的屈原，因为眼看着国家急难而无法拯救他的国家、无法实现他的理想，整天都非常忧愁，常常独自在江边徘徊叹息。有一天，一位在江边钓鱼的渔夫问他为什么这么失意落魄，屈原叹气的说：“举世皆醉唯我独醒，举世皆浊唯我独清。”心中的感叹和无奈，在这两句话中都说得很明白了。不久，这位怀才不遇的诗人就抱着砂石，投汨罗江自杀了。

楚国的人民知道这个消息之后，都不约而同的赶到江边来，想找寻他们所敬爱的屈原，可是一直都找不到屈原的身体。为了不让水中的鱼虾把屈原的身体吃掉，他们就在江上划着龙舟、敲锣打鼓，希望能将鱼虾赶跑；还用粽叶包米饭，作成粽子，投到江里喂给鱼虾吃，希望屈原的身体不要受到伤害。这就是划龙舟、包粽子的由来。

屈原投汨罗江这一天，正好是农历的五月五日。大家为了怀念这位诗人、纪念他的爱国精神，并且提醒在位的人，要能分辨出小人与忠贞志士说的话；因此，在每年的农历五月五日这一天，都会举行划龙船、包粽子的活动。流传到今天，大家都还记得这样的传说故事呢！
