8、attered rice on the water. 　　端午节与春节和中秋节并列为中国三大节日。这三个节日中，它可能是最古老的一个，可以追溯到公元前227年的战国时代。这个节日是为了纪念楚国的大夫屈原，他因为对朝廷的贪污腐败感到绝望而投河自尽。镇上的人纷纷冲上船去救他，却没有成功。后来大 把米撒到水里，希望把饥饿的鱼群从他的躯体边引开。 Over the years, the story of Qu’s demise transformed into the traditions of racing dragon boats and eating zongzi -a kind of r

9、ice wrapped in bamboo leaves. 多年以后，屈原逝世的故事逐渐演变成赛龙舟和吃粽子(一种包在竹叶中的米食)的传统。 端午节起源 ⑴In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu’s capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River,Clasping his arms to a large stone.the

13、able part of the festival,held all over the country.As the gun is fired,people will see racers in dragon-shaped 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.

14、赛龙舟是这个节日不可工缺的一部分。当发令枪打响后，人们就能看到坐在龙舟的赛手们在急促鼓点的伴随下齐心协力摇桨驶向他们的目的地。民间故事说这个赛事的起源是寻找屈原的尸体。 ⑶Zongzi is an essential food of  the Dragon Boat Festival.It is said that people ate them in the Spring and Autumn Period (770-476 BC).

A hero named Hou Yi was much worried about this,he ascended to the top of the Kunlun Mountain and,directing his superhuman strength to full extent, drew his extraordinary bow and shot down the nine superfluous suns one after an

19、other. He also ordered the last sun to rise and set according to time. For this reason, he was pespected and loved by the people and lots of people of ideals and integrity came to him to learn martial arts from him. A person named Peng Meng lurked in them. 相传，远古时候天上有10个太阳同时出现，晒得庄稼枯死，民不聊生，一个名叫后羿的英雄，

27、the table sweetmeats and fresh fruits Chang E enjoyed most, Hou Yi held at a distance a memorial ceremony for Chang E who was sentimentally attached to him in the palace of the moon.When people heard of the story that Chang E had turned into a celestial being,they arranged the incense table in the m

29、arious customs,but all show their love and longing for a better life. 中秋节的习俗很多，形式也各不相同，但都寄托着人们对生活无限的热爱和对美好生活的向往。 五．七夕节Qiqiao Festival （the Chinese Valentine’s Day） ⑴The granddaughter of the Goddess of Heaven visited the earth. Her name was Zhinu, the weaving girl. ⑵While she was on earth she m

30、et her herd boy Niulang and they fell in love.

34、inner 烛光晚餐 　Heart-Shaped/Cordate 心形的 　Truelove 真爱Enamored 倾心的 第二部分 中国文化元素 一. 长城（The Great Wall） The Great Wall is one of the wonders of the world that created by human beings! If you come to China without climbing the Great Wall, it's just like going Paris without visiting the Eiffel Towe

35、r; or going to Egypt without visiting the Pyramids! Men often say, "He who doest not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."In fact, it began as independent walls for different states when it was first built, and did not become the "Great Wall" until the Qin Dynasty. However, the wall we see today,

36、 starting from Shanhaiguan Pass in the east to Jiayunguan Pass in the west, was mostly built during the Ming Dynasty. 长城是人类创造的世界奇迹之一。如果你到了中国却没去过长城，就想到了巴黎没有去看看菲尔铁塔，或者就像到了埃及没有去看金字塔一样。人们常说：“不到长城非好汉。”实际上，长城最初只是一些断断续续的城墙，直到秦朝统一中国后才将其连城长城。然而，今天我们看到的长城——东起山海关，西至嘉峪关——大部分都是在明代修建的。 二. 饺子（Dumplings） D

37、umplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint---Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling

38、 stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, fresh and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings”. During the Spring Festival a

39、nd other holidays, or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell t

40、o the old and ushering in the new year. 饺子是深受中国人民喜爱的传统食品。 相传为古代医圣张仲景发明。饺子的制作是包括： 1） 擀皮、2） 备馅、3） 包馅水煮三个步骤。其特点是皮薄馅嫩，味道鲜美，形状独特，百食不厌。民间有“好吃不过饺子”的俗语。中国人接亲待客、逢年过节都有包饺子吃的习俗，寓意吉利。对崇尚亲情的中国人来说，“更岁交子”吃饺子，更是欢度除夕、辞旧迎新必不可少的内容。  三. 筷子（Chinese Chopsticks） The Chinese way of eating with chopsticks is unique in

41、the world. The recorded history of chopsticks started more than three thousand years ago. Chopsticks were named zhu in ancient Chinese. They look deceptively simple to use, but possess multi-various functions, such as clamping, turning over, lifting up, raking, stirring, scooping, poking, tearing, a

42、nd so on. Chopsticks were taken as an auspicious mascot by ordinary people in ancient China. For example, the partial tone of chopsticks is often used by people as a metaphor at weddings to indicate a blessing or benediction for the couple to have a baby soon. Unlike using a knife and fork or one’s

43、own hands, a pair of chopsticks also implies the meaning of “Harmony is what matters”. Chopsticks are highly praised by Westerners as a hallmark of ancient oriental civilization.  中国人使用筷子就餐的方式在世界上独树一帜。有史记载用筷的历史已有三千多年。筷子古时称为箸，它看似简单，但却同时具有夹、拨、挑、扒、拌、撮、戳、撕等多种功能。中国民间视筷子为吉祥之物，如婚俗中将筷子隐喻为快生贵子的祝福等。与使用刀叉以及手抓

44、的 方式不同，成双结对的筷子含有“和为贵“的意蕴。西方人赞誉筷子是古老的东方文明。 【拓展1】The Story of Chopsticks（1） 筷子的故事 ⑴Chopsticks are used every day in China. ⑵Now I'd like to take this opportunity to share their interesting history with you. ⑶I think you'll agree that even an ordinary item used in daily life can have a fascinatin

45、g story. ⑷Although chopsticks originated in China, they are widely used in many Asian countries. ⑸The first chopsticks were made from bone and jade. ⑹In the Spring and Autumn period, copper and iron chopsticks came into being. ⑺In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display t

46、heir wealth. ⑻Many kings and emperor s used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned. ⑼Chopsticks are traditionally placed in brides' dowries,because "chopsticks" in Chinese is pronounced "kuaizi", which sounds like "get a son soon." ⑽Many foreign friends try to use chopsticks whe

47、n they visit China. ⑾Even the former president of the United States Richard Nixon, used chopsticks at the welcoming banquet held in his honor. ⑿As soon as he left his table, a foreign diplomat grabbed his chopsticks as a historical souvenir. ⑴中国人每天都在使用筷子。 ⑵现在我想借这个机会和大家一起聊一些有关于筷子历史的有趣故事。 ⑶我想你会赞同

48、即使是日常生活中一件小物品也会有其引人入胜的故事。 ⑷虽然筷子起源于中国，但现在很多的亚洲国家都在使用。 ⑸最早的筷子是用骨头和玉制成的。 ⑹在春秋时代又出现了铜制和铁制的筷子。 ⑺在古代，富人家用玉筷子或金筷子以显示其家庭的富有。 ⑻许多帝王用银制的筷子以检查他们的食物中是否被人投了毒。 ⑼筷子在传统上是被当作 新娘的嫁妆的，因为“筷子”在汉语中读作“kuaizi”，听起来很像“快得儿子”。 ⑽许多外国朋友在访问中国的时候都使用筷子。 ⑾甚至是美国前总统尼克松在为其到来而举办的欢迎宴会上也使用了筷子。 ⑿他刚一离开桌子，一名国外的外交人员就抓起了他的筷子，把它作为了具有历史

49、意义的纪念品。 【拓展2】The Story of Chopsticks（2） 筷子的故事 ⑴In ancient China, chopsticks signified far lore than tools that take food to the mouth; they also signified status and rules, “can”and ”can’t”. ⑵During the Northern Song Dynasty, an official named Tang Su once had dinner with the emperor. He was no

50、t well informed in noble table etiquette and so laid down his chopsticks horizontally on the table before the emperor did. As a result, he was expatriated to a frontier area for penal servitude. ⑶In ancient eating etiquette, there were over a dozen taboos concening chopsticks. For example , they co

51、uld not be placed vertically into a dish, as this was the way of making sacrifices to the dead. ⑴在古代中国，筷子不仅仅是把食物送到口中的餐具，它被赋予了重要的内涵和“能”和“不能”的规矩。 ⑵北宋朝时，一个叫唐肃的官员陪皇帝进膳。他不了解用餐时使用筷子的礼仪，在皇帝还没有吃完时，他把筷子横放在桌子上，表示他不想再吃了。结果这位官员被发配边疆。 ⑶在古代的饮食礼仪中，筷子的使用方法的禁忌有十多种。比如，忌将筷子竖直插入菜盘或饭碗中，因为这代表为死人上坟。 四. 中国功夫（Chinese

52、kung fu） Chinese kung fu, or Chinese martial arts, carries traditional Chinese culture in abundance. It is a  traditional Chinese sport which applies the art of attack and defence in combat and the motions engaged with a series of skill and tricks. The core idea of Chinese king fu is derived from

53、 the Confucian theory of both “the mean and harmony” and “cultivating qi” (otherwise known as nourishing one’s spirit). Meanwhile, it also includes thoughts of Taoism and Buddhism. Chinese kung fu has a long history, with multi-various sects and many different boxing styles, and emphasizes coupling

54、hardness with softness and internal and external training. It contains the ancient great thinkers’ pondering of life and the universe. The skills in wielding the 18 kinds of weapons named by the later generations mainly involve the skills of bare-handed boxing, such as shadow boxing (Taijiquan), for

55、m and will boxing (Xingyiquan), eight trigram palm (Baguazhang), and the skills of kung fu weaponry, such as the skill of using swords, spears, two-edged swords and halberds, axes, tomahawks, kooks, prongs and so on. 中国功夫即中国武术，是将技击寓于搏斗和套路运动之中的中国传统体育项目，承载着丰富的中国民族传统文化。其核心思想是儒家的中和养气之说，同时兼容了道家、释家的思想。

56、中国武术源远流长、流派林立、拳种繁多，讲究刚柔并济、内外兼修，蕴含着先哲们对生命和宇宙的参悟。后世所称十八般武艺，主要指：徒手拳艺，如太极拳、形意拳、八卦掌等；器械功夫，如刀枪剑戟、斧钺钩叉等。 【拓展】 ⑴Chinese Kung Fu is magnificent and profound but it’s unfortunate that a lot of it has not been passed down. ⑵Taijiquan can make you feel at peace. In addition to emphasizing matching the move

57、ments with your breathing, it is good for your health too. ⑶The primary reason for practicing kung fu is for health reasons. Defense is of secondary importance and hurting others is abolutely unacceptable. ⑴中国功夫博大精深，可惜有很多已经失传了。 ⑵太极拳可以使人心境平和，加上它注重呼吸配合动作，对身体也有好处。 ⑶练武的主要目的在于锻炼身体，其次是防身，至于用来伤人是万万不可以的

58、。 There is much more to Kung Fu than Jackie Chan or Bruce Lee. Kung Fu is an art form, and also, very good for you. 功夫并不只是指成龙或李小龙，它是一种艺术形式，而且对你很有好处。 Many styles of Kung Fu are based on the ideas of nature. Ancient boxing masters often developed their fighting techniques by observing the world

59、 around them. Animals, birds, and insects provided the basis for many systems of Kung Fu developed in the past. 很多功夫招式来源于对自然界的想象。古代拳术大师常常通过观察他们周围的世界改进拳术技法。动物、鸟类和昆虫为过去很多功夫的系统发展提供了基础。 Many of the hard forms of Kung Fu came from a Buddhist Monastery called “Shaolin”. An Indian priest named Tamo cam

60、e to live there nearly 1500 years agou. According to legend, Tamo arrived at the monastery where he found the monks in poor physical condition. Because they couldn’t stay awake during meditation, Tamo introduced a series of 18 exercise designed to feed both body and mind. These movements are said to

61、 have merged with self-defense tactics studied in the Shaolin Temple. 很多硬功夫都出自叫“少林”的佛教寺庙。大约1500年前，有个叫达摩的印度僧人来到这里。传说他来到寺庙，发现那里的和尚身体状况很不好。因为他们在坐禅时候不能保持清醒，达摩就传授给他们一套十八手拳法，目的是锻炼他们的身心。据说这些动作融合了他在少林寺研究的防身术。 I suggest a soft form of Kung Fu, called Tai Qi. It comes from Taoism and it’s very good for yo

62、ur health. Through its training, you can get inner peace and a sense of physical and emotional well being. It’s often called Chinese Yoga: the art and science of meditation through movement. 我建议你学习一种温和的功夫，叫太极拳。它源于道教，对你的健康非常有好处。通过这种训练，你能达到内心的平和，以及身体和情绪上的安宁舒适。它经常被人们称作中国瑜伽：通过运动达到沉思冥想的一种艺术和科学。 五. 汉字

63、（Chinese characters） Chinese characters were initially meant to be simple pictures used to help people remember things. After a long period of development, it finally became a unique character system that embodies phonetic sound, image, idea, and rhyme at the same time. The writing system, which

64、was extremely advanced in ancient times, began with inscriptions on bones and tortoise shells, and these are regarded as the original forms of Chinese characters. Afterwards, Chinese characters went through numerous calligraphic styles: bronze inscriptions, official script, regular script, cursive s

65、cript, running script, etc. Chinese characters are usually round outside and square inside, which is rooted in ancient Chinese beliefs of an orbicular sky and a rectangular Earth. The five basic strokes of Chinese characters are “---“ (the horizontal stroke) “│” (the vertical stroke), “／”( the left-

66、falling stroke), “＼” (the right-falling stroke), and “乙” (the turning stroke).   汉字是从原始人用以记事的简单图画，经过不断演变发展最终成为一种兼具音、形、意韵的独特文字。现存中国古代最早成熟的文字是甲骨文，被认为是现代汉字的初形。此后，汉字又经历了金文、隶书、楷书、草书、行书等不同的阶段。汉字结构“外圆内方“， 源于古人”天圆地方“的观念。汉字有五种基本笔画，即：横、竖、撇、捺、折。 六. 秧歌舞（Yangko） Yangko is one of tradition folk dance of Han in China.It is usually performed in northern provinces. The dancers usually wear colorful and light costumes, and the performance is powerful and rapid. During some festivals such as Spring Festiv
