The Chinese dragon boat festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the longest history.

在中国，端午节有着很悠久的历史，同时也是一个很重大的节日。

The origin of this summer festival centers around a scholarly government official named Chu Yuan. He was a good and respected man, but because of the misdeeds of jealous rivals he eventually fell into disfavor in the emperor's court.

这个节日的由来是古代中国有一位博学多闻的官吏屈原，他是一位爱民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充满嫉妒的官吏陷害，从此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於无法获得皇帝的重视，屈原在忧郁的情况下投汨罗江自尽。

龙舟竞渡，是端午节的一项标志性习俗。相传起源于纪念屈原投江。

其实，龙舟竞渡早在屈原之前就已存在。闻一多先生在《端午考》与《端午的历史教育》（见《闻一多全集》）论文中考证认为：“古代吴越是崇拜龙的，并认为他们是“龙子”。端午节两个最主要的活动吃粽子和竞渡，都与龙相关。

粽子投入江河水里祭祀龙神，而竞渡则用的是龙舟。他们不仅有“断发文身”以“像龙子”的习俗，而且每年在端午这天，举行一次盛大的图腾祭；其中有一项活动便是在急鼓声中以刻画成龙形的独木舟，在水面上作竞渡祭龙神，也给自己游戏取乐，这便是龙舟竞渡习俗的由来。
