农历五月初五是端午节，爱国诗人、政治家屈原在这一天投江而亡，人们以包角黍（粽子）、划龙舟等形式，来纪念他。

The Dragon Boat Festival falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in China to commemorate Qu Yuan (ca. 340 BC-278 BC), a patriotic poet and politician, who jumped into the Miluo River on this day. On this festival, people honor him by some activities like wrapping rice dumplings (also called Zongzi in Chinese) and rowing dragon boats.

大多数中国节日都与特定的食物有关，端午节也不例外。

Most Chinese festivals are related to specific foods，and the Dragon Boat Festival is no exception.

在陵城区，人们把竹叶卷成漏斗状，并在里面加入糯米。然后，把叶子聚集到中间，用绳子绑起来，粽子就制作完成了。

In Lingcheng district, Dezhou, East China’s Shandong province, people roll bamboo leaves into a funnel shape and fill them with glutinous rice. They then gather the leaves towards the center and tie them with strings to get zongzi.

粽子，深受中国人喜爱。

Zongzi is very popular among Chinese people.

同样，古人在端午节有制作中药香囊以驱虫驱病的传统。

Similarly, there is a tradition of making herbal sachetes to expel insects and diseases during the Dragon Boat Festival.

在陵城区艺术中心，孩子们准备好小珠子、彩绳、丝线、以及丁香、艾叶等天然中药材料，开始有条不紊地缝制布片、装中草药，一个个造型独特、色彩鲜艳的香囊跃然于目。

At Art Center of Lingcheng, children prepare small beads,

colored ropes, silk threads,as well as natural Chinese medicine

such as cloves and mugwort leaves. They methodically sew pieces of cloth and fill them with herbs to get uniquely shaped and brightly colored sachetes.

香囊清幽的香气弥漫开来，为端午佳节增添了一份浓浓的喜气。

The fragrance of the sachet fill the air, adding a strong sense of joy to the Dragon Boat Festival.
