端午节玩什么？ “鼓声三下红旗开，两龙跃出浮水来。棹影斡波飞万剑，鼓声劈浪鸣千雷。”端午节最应景的节目就是赛龙舟。

Dragon boat racing is an indispensable part of the festival, held all over the country. As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination.

当发令枪打响后，人们就能看到坐在龙形舟的赛手们在急促鼓点的伴随下齐力拼命摇桨驶向他们的目的地。民间故事说这个赛事的起源是找屈原的尸体，但是专家经过千辛万苦的仔细考证后得出结论是赛龙舟是一个起源于战国时代（公元前475-221）的一个半宗教半娱乐的节目。在以后的几千年里，这个比赛流传到日本，越南，英国和中国台湾，香港。现在赛龙舟已经发展成为一个水上运动，它既是中国的传统特色也体现了现代体育精神。1980年赛龙舟被正式列入国家体育竞赛项目的名单中并且每年都举行一次。奖品叫做“屈原杯”。

As the gun is fired, people will see racers in dragon-shaped canoes pulling the oars harmoniously and hurriedly, accompanied by rapid drums, speeding toward their destination. Folk tales say the game originates from the activities of seeking Qu Yuan's body, but experts, after painstaking and meticulous research, conclude that dragon boat racing is a semi-religious, semi-entertaining program from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC). In the following thousands of years, the game spread to Japan, Vietnam and Britain as well as China's Taiwan and Hong Kong. Now dragon boat racing has developed into an aquatic sports item which features both Chinese tradition and modern sporting spirit. In 1980, it was listed into the state sports competition programs and has since been held every year. The award is called "Qu Yuan Cup."
