Dear teachers, dear students:
Hello everyone!
Tomorrow is our country’s annual traditional festival - the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is the most grand folk festival in our country in late spring and early summer. China's five thousand years of history has left us with many profound and excellent traditional cultures, of which traditional customs are an important part. In addition to being a habit, customs also represent cultural civilization and national identity. But unfortunately, as modern Chinese people become more and more familiar with Western festivals, they are also forgetting their own history at an alarming rate. For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, most people probably only know the custom of eating rice dumplings! And some other customs of the Dragon Boat Festival have gone away from us.
The first theory is also the most widely circulated theory about the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to commemorate Qu Yuan, a poet of Chu State during the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan was a Sanlu official of the Chu State during the Warring States Period. Seeing that the country was in danger but could not save it, he was worried day and night, and finally threw himself into the Miluo River and died. When the people of Chu learned about it, they were very sad and tried their best to rescue Qu Yuan by boat. In order to prevent the fish and shrimp in the water from eating Qu Yuan's body, they rowed dragon boats on the river and beat gongs and drums in the hope of driving away the fish and shrimp. They also used rice dumplings. Wrap rice in the leaves to make rice dumplings and throw them into the river to feed the fish and shrimp, hoping that Qu Yuan's body will not be harmed. Year after year, this custom has been passed down. This is the origin of dragon boat racing and rice dumpling making during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The second saying is an older saying than commemorating Qu Yuan. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated to "eliminate plagues and diseases." The Dragon Boat Festival falls in the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The weather is getting hotter and various mosquitoes begin to appear, which can easily cause diseases. Therefore, May is also known as the "evil month". The ancients took rest and rest as the principle of health preservation in May. In some places, the "five auspicious plants in the sky", namely calamus, mugwort, pomegranate flower, garlic and mountain dandelion, were used to detoxify. Therefore, "removing plagues and diseases" is a major theme for ordinary Chinese people to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.
There is a third way to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, which is to "pray for rain." The Dragon Boat Festival is the peak season for rice growth, and rain is scarce at this time, so people make rice dumplings to lure God to rain. In addition, dragon boat racing on the Dragon Boat Festival is also to pray for rain. People stir up the water to prevent the Dragon King from hiding under the water and to draw out the "real dragon".
From this point of view, a Dragon Boat Festival contains a very rich traditional Chinese culture. The pious commemoration of the Dragon Boat Festival undoubtedly demonstrates the noble traditions of our country of Chinese etiquette. China's traditional festivals are colorful and rich in cultural connotation, retaining unique cultural memories of mankind. For example, when spring is approaching, people express their hopes for the future with beautiful blessings. This is the original meaning given to the Spring Festival by the Chinese, and after the Qingming Festival, Sowing and harvesting during the Mid-Autumn Festival embody the hard-working and kind-hearted qualities of the Chinese nation...
Behind the traditional festivals lies a long history and a glorious civilization, and what is accumulated is a broad heritage and a culture that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. national spirit. In the face of the history and culture left by our ancestors, as descendants, every descendant of the Yan and Huang Dynasties must not only understand our country's traditional festivals, but more importantly, they must consciously be a defender and inheritor of traditional culture. From the babbling words of the Book of Songs to the excerpts of Chu Ci and Han Fu, from the golden phoenix and jade dew on the Chinese Valentine's Day, to the appreciation of chrysanthemums on the Double Ninth Festival, from the rich heritage of Qin Opera to the singing, sitting and beating of Peking Opera, China's traditional Culture is so shining and dazzling in the vast history of China. We are the future pillars of the Chinese nation, and Chinese civilization needs us to inherit it together. Let us work together to continue our country's excellent traditional culture and let Chinese civilization flourish in the world! Dragon Boat Festival Promoting Traditional Culture Speech 2
Dear teachers and students:
Hello everyone!
There are many legends about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, among which the commemoration of Qu Yuan is the most widely circulated. Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in ancient my country. He was born in Chu State during the Warring States Period many years ago. He was upright, knowledgeable and talented, and held important positions in the Chu State. Because he advocated resolute resistance to Qin's invasion, he was attacked, ostracized, and even expelled from the court by the King of Chu. Qu Yuan was so sad and angry that he wrote many patriotic poems during his exile, the most famous of which is "Li Sao". Later, the Qin army captured the capital of Chu. Chu State lost thousands of miles of land, and corpses littered the fields. Qu Yuan was heartbroken. He did not want to see the tragic scene of his country being destroyed and his family destroyed. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, he jumped into the Leiluo River with stones in his arms. He was 62 years old at the time.
The people loved Qu Yuan. When they heard the news of his suicide, they rowed boats and rushed to the river to salvage Qu Yuan's body, but they could not find it. They were afraid that the fish and shrimp in the river would eat Qu Yuan's body, so they packed the rice into bamboo tubes and threw it into the water, hoping to use the rice to feed the fish and shrimp to protect Qu Yuan's body.
From then on, every year on the fifth day of May, people would spontaneously come to the riverside to mourn Qu Yuan, and row boats into the turbulent waves, symbolizing people's rush to salvage Qu Yuan's body to express their grief for Qu Yuan. Over time, the custom of dragon boat racing during the Dragon Boat Festival has been formed in southern my country. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
Students, Qu Yuan is loved by people for his love for the motherland and concern for the sufferings of the people. When we eat rice dumplings and watch dragon boat races with relish, don’t forget the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan many years ago.
Let us look at this traditional Chinese festival with respect, love and cherishment! Happy Dragon Boat Festival to everyone in advance!
My speech is over, thank you everyone! Speech Note 3 on Promoting Traditional Culture during the Dragon Boat Festival
Dear teachers, dear students:
Hello everyone!
Yesterday was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival of our Chinese nation. There is a popular children's song among the people: "On May 5th, it is the Dragon Boat Festival. There are moxa sticks on the door and the house is filled with fragrance. We eat rice dumplings, sprinkle sugar, and race dragon boats. We are filled with joy." The Dragon Boat Festival began in China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it has been more than 2,000 years ago. history. So what kind of festival is it?
First, the Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to commemorate poets and a patriotic festival. Because the patriotic poet Qu Yuan saw the country destroyed and people perished, he threw himself into the Miluo River on the fifth day of May. After Qu Yuan sank into the river, the ancients put rice in bamboo tubes into the river. Thousands of boats sailed together, shouting and playing drums to scare away the dragons to show their respect and memory for Qu Yuan. Later, it evolved into the custom of eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats. After thousands of years of inheritance, Qu Yuan's patriotism and the humanistic connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival have been inseparable. The Dragon Boat Festival has become an important ceremony for Chinese people to convey their patriotism and spirit.
Second, the Dragon Boat Festival is a health festival. Around the Dragon Boat Festival is the transition between spring and summer. The weather is hot, rainy and humid, mosquitoes breed, and pests and diseases increase. It is a period of high incidence of infectious diseases. In order to avoid the occurrence of diseases, the ancients planted mugwort leaves and hanging calamus before and after the Dragon Boat Festival to repel mosquitoes, flies and bugs and purify the air. On the Dragon Boat Festival, adults drink rice wine and calamus wine to drive away snakes and insects, and children wear sachets containing cinnabar and vanilla to prevent diseases. These customs express the ancient people's desire to drive away plagues and evil spirits and pray for health and safety. From this point of view, the Dragon Boat Festival is China’s earliest “health and epidemic prevention festival”.
Thirdly, the Dragon Boat Festival is a sports festival, because people race dragon boats on the water on this day. Dragon boat racing is a very impressive and cooperative competitive activity. The Dragon Boat Festival can play a very good role in promoting and promoting mass water sports, physical fitness and public unity. Now dragon boat racing has gradually evolved into an international sports event, serving as a bond of friendship.
The fourth point is that the Dragon Boat Festival is a food festival, because we have to eat delicious rice dumplings. Zongzi is officially designated as the Dragon Boat Festival food. People soak glutinous rice, wash rice dumpling leaves, and make rice dumplings with more varieties of colors. The shapes include square, cone, rhombus, and "tube rice dumplings" that are sealed and baked with rice packed in bamboo tubes. In terms of fillings, in the north there are many Beijing date rice dumplings stuffed with jujubes; in the south there are various fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat, ham, egg yolks, etc., among which Jiaxing rice dumplings in Zhejiang are the representative ones. It can be said that the rice dumplings with fragrant leaves are delicious.
Students, China’s traditional festivals are colorful and rich in cultural connotation. Because of different regions, the customs of each place are also slightly different. Some traditional habits have faded a lot. Speaking under the national flag today, we learned about the Dragon Boat Festival culture and hope that we can be the inheritors of traditional culture. Let us actively learn and protect our traditional festivals and traditional culture with respect and love, so that the ancient Chinese civilization can glow with a new style! Speech 4 on Promoting Traditional Culture during Dragon Boat Festival
Dear teachers, dear students:
Hello everyone!
The title of today’s speech under the flag of our country is “Sacrifice the Dragon Boat Festival, Remember the Ancestors, and Carry forward Traditional Culture.”
On the fifth day of May, the rice dumpling leaves are fragrant, and it’s the Dragon Boat Festival again. The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in my country. I think many students have some understanding of its origin. The teacher will briefly introduce the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
According to "Historical Records", during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a minister of Chu State, Qu Yuan, who advocated the promotion of talents and talents, enriched the country and strengthened the army, and united Qi to resist Qin, but he was strongly opposed by other nobles. Qu Yuan was forced to resign and was driven out of the capital. While in exile, he wrote "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions", "Nine Songs" and other immortal poems that worried about the country and the people. His poems such as "The whole world is drunk and I am sober alone", "The road is long and long, I will search up and down", etc., I can still feel Qu Yuan's integrity and greatness when I read it now.
Later, the Qin army captured the capital of Chu. Seeing his motherland being invaded, Qu Yuan was heartbroken. On May 5, after writing his last work "Huaisha", he bouldered into the Miluo River and died. He composed a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life.
Legend has it that after Qu Yuan died, the people of Chu State were extremely sad and flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. Some of them rowed boats and went up and down the river to recover his body. Some people took out rice balls, wine and other food prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river, saying that if the fish and shrimp were full, they would not bite Qu Yuan's body. From then on, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year was designated as the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
During the current Dragon Boat Festival, the most memorable thing for students is probably eating rice dumplings. Do you know what customs and activities people had during the ancient Dragon Boat Festival?
"The colorful flags on the bank shine on the dragon house, and the stockings are rippling in the water. At the end of the song, everyone disperses and melancholy, and the waterwheel in front of the Zhaoqu Pavilion is filled with water." This "Racing Song" was written by a poet of the Tang Dynasty. A dragon boat racing event described by Liu Yuxi. At that time, during the Dragon Boat Festival, people would hang colorful threads, dye their nails red, drink realgar wine, hang Zhongkui statues, shoot willows and other colorful activities.
Our country established the Dragon Boat Festival as a national statutory holiday in 2008, and gave it a day off. Many commemorative activities have also been carried out in various places, just to let students fully experience the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival. Don’t forget our traditional culture.
Our school will also carry out various activities during this year’s Dragon Boat Festival. The fifth grade students have brought reed leaves from home and will learn how to make rice dumplings under the guidance of their parents and teachers. We also give the rice dumplings made by ourselves to all the teachers in the school and the elderly in the community. We will also carefully read various information about the Dragon Boat Festival and hold a "Speaking of the Dragon Boat Festival" speech contest with the Nantong City Art Museum. Here, the teacher also hopes that all students in the school can actively participate in the study of traditional culture.
Students, with the changes of the times and the massive invasion of foreign cultures, some Chinese people no longer care about the traditional Chinese culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, but have turned their attention to "Christmas" and "Fool's Day". Festival" such a Western festival. Faced with this situation, we must pay more attention to the understanding and learning of traditional Chinese culture, and love and protect our national traditions.
Many students may not know that the Dragon Boat Festival, which has been handed down in China for thousands of years, was used by an Asian country to apply to UNESCO as a cultural heritage of their country a few years ago, and was successful. . Seeing that our country's traditional culture has become the cultural heritage of other countries, apart from being surprised and embarrassed, we should ask ourselves, how much do I know about China's traditional culture, how much have I learned, and how much have I contributed?
China’s traditional festivals are colorful and rich in traditional cultural connotations, retaining mankind’s unique cultural memory. We must attach great importance to the historical and cultural relics created by our ancestors. We are the pillars of the Chinese nation, and Chinese civilization needs us to inherit it together.
Classmates, let us start from this Dragon Boat Festival activity to actively learn and protect our traditional festivals and traditional culture, so that the ancient Chinese civilization can glow with a new style!
