端午节英文演讲稿

　　Dear leaders and colleagues:

　　The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Dragon Boat Five, Midday, summer festival, midday festival, May Festival, Ai Festival and so on.

　　Every year on this day, people hold indispensable activities, such as sticking mugwort on the door, eating zongzi, wearing sachets and racing dragon boats.This year, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, we are about to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, an annual traditional Chinese festival.

　　So how does Dragon Boat Festival come about?It is said that more than two thousand years ago, Qu Yuan, a doctor of the State of Chu, cared about the sufferings of the people and was loved and loved by the people.After he drowned himself in the river, the people of chu rushed to the miluo River to express their condolences to him.People rowed boats up and down the river to retrieve his body, which gave rise to the custom of dragon boat racing.The custom of eating zongzi is to throw rice balls wrapped in neem leaves and colored silk into a river to pay homage to Qu Yuan.So the Fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival.

　　Every Dragon Boat Festival, every family will eat zongzi, hang ai cao, wear sachets, dragon boat races, poetry festival, commemorate Qu Yuan, celebrate the festival.

　　However, with the change of times, more and more foreign cultures have penetrated into our lives, the once lively festivals have been gradually forgotten by people, we seem to no longer care about the traditional culture for thousands of years, but turn more attention to western festivals, such as "Christmas" and "April Fools Day".While we were still basking in the laughter of Western festivals, in 20__, South Korea applied to UNESCO for the Dragon Boat Festival to be listed as its intangible cultural Heritage and a national heritage site.

　　Listening to these, we are what kind of mood, this is not only a traditional festival gains and losses, not only a few celebration activities, more importantly, it is the traditional festival of the Chinese nation, it retains the unique cultural memory of the Chinese nation.Each traditional festival can strengthen the cohesion and centripetal force of the Chinese nation.But now, this traditional festival that we have spent more than two thousand years has become the national heritage of other countries, how embarrassed and helpless we are.

　　Chinese traditional festivals are colorful and rich in cultural connotations, preserving the unique cultural memory of our ancestors.We should appreciate and Revere the historical and cultural heritage created by our ancestors.

　　Thank you, my speech is over, I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival!
