今天是端午节，祝大家端午安康。我们今天聊的话题就跟端午节相关。

01. The Origin of Dragon Boat Festival 端午节的由来

The origin story is actually really touching.

古时候有位爱国诗人叫屈原，他心怀国家，却被坏人陷害。在五月初五这天，伤心的他跳入汨罗江（mì luó jiāng）中。后来老百姓们为了不让鱼虾伤害屈原，人们把米团扔进江里。久而久之，每年的五月初五就成了端午节。

So this festival was established to commemorate(纪念) Qu Yuan. And zongzi literally came from an act of love for a poet(诗人).
