Dear teachers and students:
Everybody is good!
The topic of my speech today under the national flag is Dragon Boat Festival culture.
Today is June X, the first day of the fifth lunar month.Until this week, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival.The Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanyang Festival.There are many legends about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the one commemorating Qu Yuan is the most popular.On this historical day, people will commemorate the immortal soul Qu Yuan by racing dragon boats and making dumplings.
Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in ancient China. He was born more than two thousand years ago in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period.Honest, knowledgeable and talented, he occupied an important position in the State of Chu.Because he insisted on resisting the invasion of Qin, he was rejected by the attack and expelled from the court by the king of Chu.Qu Yuan was filled with righteous indignation during his exile and wrote many patriotic poems, such as Li SAO, Tian Wen, Nine Songs and so on.Later, the Qin army captured the capital of chu.Thousands of miles, dead bodies everywhere.Qu Yuans heart was twisted by a knife. He did not want to see his country destroyed.On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he drowned himself in a river after finishing his masterpiece Huai Sha, composing a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life.
People love Qu Yuan.After hearing the news of Qu Yuans suicide, they rowed a boat to retrieve qu Yuans body, but failed to find it.They were afraid that the fish and shrimp in the river would bite qu Yuans body, so they put glutinous rice into bamboo tubes and threw it into the water.They want to feed glutinous rice to fish and shrimp to protect Qu Yuans body.Since then, every year on the fifth day of may, people spontaneously came to the river to mourn Qu Yuan, but also boating in the rough waves, a symbol of people scrambling to salvage Qu Yuans body, in order to place the grief of Qu Yuan.Over time, the custom of dragon boat racing was formed.
Qu Yuan has been dead for more than two thousand years.Today, we are here to commemorate him, mainly to learn from his love for the motherland, love the people, uphold the truth, rather than surrender to the spirit of death, as well as the personality of "winning glory with the sun and the moon".Qu Yuans spirit is immortal.No matter how time changes, he will always live in the long river of years, will always be remembered by people!
Let us look at each Chinese traditional festival with respect and cherish for our great patriots.Each traditional festival has rich cultural connotation and retains the unique cultural memory of the Chinese nation.
Thank you for your patience.In this, please accept my holiday wishes for you: happy Dragon Boat Festival!Thank you
