端午节
“端”字有“初始”的意思,因此“端五”就是“初五”。而按照历法五月正是“午”月,因此“端五”也就渐渐演变成了“端午”。《燕京岁时记》记载:“初五为五月单五,盖端字之转音也。”
端阳节
据《荆楚岁时记》记载,因仲夏登高,顺阳在上,五月正是仲夏,它的第一个午日正是登高顺阳天气好的日子,故称五月初五为“端阳节”。

Ⅶ 给篇关于英语读书节的文章,要英文的
Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: Today my best friend slapped me in the face.
They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decide to take a bath. The one who has been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning but his friend saved him. After he recovered from the fright, he wrote on a stone: Today my best friend saved my life.
The friend, who has slapped and saved his best friend, asked him,” After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you write on a stone, why?”
The other friend replied:” When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it.”
Learn to write your hurts in sand, then you forget about the hatred. Learn to carve your gratitude in stone, then you know how to care about other people around you. This is what I have learned from this story. And I also believe that if everyone does like this, the world will become a better place.

The Origin of Chinese New Year
The Chinese New Year is now popularly known as the Spring Festival because it starts from the Beginning of Spring (the first of the twenty-four terms in coordination with the changes of Nature)。 Its origin is too old to be traced. Several explanations are hanging around. All agree, however, that the word Nian, which in modern Chinese solely means "year", was originally the name of a monster beast that started to prey on people the night before the beginning of a new year.
春节始于中国农历,其起源因太古老,而无法考究。其中有一种说法是"年"原来是一种怪兽的名字。
One legend goes that the beast Nian had a very big mouth that would swallow a great many people with one bite. People were very scared. One day, an old man came to their rescue, offering to sube Nian. To Nian he said, "I hear say that you are very capable, but can you swallow the other beasts of prey on earth instead of people who are by no means of your worthy opponents?" So, it did swallow many of the beasts of prey on earth that also harassed people and their domestic animals from time to time.
传说年有一张大嘴,一口能吞下很多人。人们很害怕。一天,一个老人来了,答应制伏年兽。老头跟年兽说:我听说你很有两下子,可是你能吃了其他那些凶残的野兽吗?于是年兽就把很多其他野兽吃了,但也吃了不少家畜。
After that, the old man disappeared riding the beast Nian. He turned out to be an immortal god. Now that Nian is gone and other beasts of prey are also scared into forests, people begin to enjoy their peaceful life. Before the old man left, he had told people to put up red paper decorations on their windows and doors at each year's end to scare away Nian in case it sneaked back again, because red is the color the beast feared the most.
后来,老头骑着年兽消失了,临走告诉人们,用红色的纸把门和窗装饰起来,以防年兽回来,因为年兽很害怕红色。
From then on, the tradition of observing the conquest of Nian is carried on from generation to generation. The term "Guo Nian", which may mean "Survive the Nian" becomes today "Celebrate the (New) Year" as the word "guo" in Chinese having both the meaning of "pass-over" and "observe". The custom of putting up red paper and firing fire-crackers to scare away Nian should it have a chance to run loose is still around. However, people today have long forgotten why they are doing all this, except that they feel the color and the sound add to the excitement of the celebration.
至此,趋赶年兽的方法流传了一代又一代。过年这个词,也由原来的躲避年售,变成现在的庆祝新年。过年帖红纸,放鞭炮的习俗延续了下来。现在的人们,只有这种颜色,这种声音能让他们过年的兴奋。
China's traditional festivals have evolved through the centuries from past major events. For instance, long ago when people had a bountiful harvest, they gathered and celebrated their good fortune with gala (祭日)performances. When natural disasters struck, they offered sacrifices to the gods and their ancestors, hoping for a blessing. The change of the seasons, flowers in spring, and the bright moon in autumn could all arouse their longing for a more beautiful life. Thus, creative activities were held to signify these events, Graally these activities developed into festivals.
中国的传统节日大多是由一些重大事件发展而来的,例如:很久以前,如果人们有一个大丰收的话他们就会聚在一起庆祝。逐渐的这些活动就发展成了节日。
The most important festival in China is the Spring Festival. It is said that the Spring Festival evolved from an activity known as the Winter Sacrifice. It was a custom practiced by the people of primitive society.
据说春节源于原始社会中的人们在冬天举行的献祭。
As the cold winter began to recede (退却)and the warm spring was about to begin, the people of an entire clan gathered together. They brought out their bounty(恩惠) from hunting, fishing and the field. They thanked the gods for the blessings of nature, including the mountains, rivers, the sun ,moon and stars, They thanked their ancestors, then they shared and enjoyed the sumptuous (华丽的)bounty of the land, sea, air and fields as they ate, danced and sang heartily.
随着冬季的过去和暖春的来临,整个氏族的人聚在一起,拿出他们在狩猎,打鱼,种地中得到的。他们感谢各种神,感谢祖先。人们吃着,唱着,跳着来进行这种纪念活动。
In the beginning, their activity had no fixed date. But usually it was held at the end of each winter. Graally, through the years, it was celebrated at the end of the old year or the beginning of the new. With the changes and disintegration of primitive society, the form and content of the Winter Sacrifice also changed. Ultimately, it became a festival to bid farewell to the old year and welcome in the new year. So it came to be called the Spring Festival.
开始,他们的活动没有固定日期。但通常在冬天结束的时候进行。渐渐的变成了在一年的结尾开头之际举行。伴随着原始社会的瓦解,冬天献祭的形式与内容也发生了变化。最终变成了一个辞旧迎新的节日。
