　　Dear teachers and students:

　　Good morning, everyone!There is a childrens song said well: "May 5, is duanyang.Insert mugwort leaves, wear sachet, eat zongzi, sprinkle sugar, dragon boat launched jubilant."This childrens song is about Chinas annual traditional festival - Dragon Boat Festival.Today, the topic of my speech under the national flag is the Origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.

　　The annual Dragon Boat Festival is coming again. The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, also known as Duanyang Festival. It is a summer festival to drive away the plague.The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the Han people in China.

　　There are many legends about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.Among them, to commemorate Qu Yuans view spread most widely.Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in ancient China. He was born more than 2,000 years ago in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period.He was upright, knowledgeable and talented. He held important posts in the State of Chu.Because he insisted on resolutely resisting the invasion of Qin, he was defeated and ostracized, and was expelled from the court by the king of Chu.Qu Yuan was so indignant that he wrote many patriotic poems in exile, the most famous of which is Li SAO.Later, the Troops of Qin captured the capital of Chu.Chu lost thousands of miles of land and was covered with corpses.Qu Yuan heart, he did not want to see the tragic scene, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, embrace stones, jumped into the Miluo River.He was 62 years old.

　　The people loved Qu Yuan. When they heard the news of his suicide, they rowed boats and rushed to the river to salvage Qu Yuans body, but failed to find it.They are afraid that the fish and shrimp in the river will bite qu Yuans body, and have put jiangmi into bamboo tubes, thrown into the water, want to use jiangmi to feed fish and shrimp to protect Qu Yuans body.Since then, every year on the fifth day of may, people will spontaneously come to the river, mourning Qu Yuan, but also rowed into the rough waves, a symbol of people scrambling to salvage Qu Yuans body, in order to place the grief of Qu Yuan.Over time, the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats has formed in the south of China.Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.

　　Let us look at this traditional Chinese festival with respect and love!I wish you a happy Dragon Boat Festival in advance!
