关于端午节的来历，归纳起来，大致有以下几种说法：纪念屈原，此说最早出自南朝梁代吴均《续齐谐记》和北周宗懔《荆楚岁时记》的记载。据说，屈原于五月初五自投汨罗江，死后为蛟龙所困，世人哀之，每于此日投五色丝粽子于水中，以驱蛟龙。又传，屈原投汨罗江后，当地百姓闻讯马上划船捞救，船只行至洞庭湖，终不见屈原的尸体。那时，恰逢雨天，湖面上的小舟一起汇集在岸边的亭子旁。当人们得知是打捞贤臣屈大夫时，再次冒雨出动，争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。为了寄托哀思，人们荡舟江河之上，此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛。看来，端午节吃粽子、赛龙舟与纪念屈原相关，有唐代文秀《端午》诗为证：“节分端午自谁言，万古传闻为屈原。堪笑楚江空渺渺，不能洗得直臣冤。”
About the Dragon Boat Festival origin, summed up, generally have the following statement: to commemorate Qu Yuan, which is the first from southern Liang Wu, "Xu Qi Xie Ji" and the Northern Zhou Zonglin "Jingchu age mind" records. Reportedly, Qu Yuan on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month since the Miluo River, after the death of trapped by the dragon, the world of sorrow, each today investment colored silk rice dumplings in the water, in order to drive the dragon. And, after Qu Yuan Miluo River, local people fishing boat rescued immediately after hearing the news, the vessel to the Dongting Lake, but not the end of Qu Yuan's bodies. At that time, coincides with the rainy days, the boat on the lake together in the pavilion near the shore. When people learned that salvage bowed doctor, out in the rain again, vast Dongting Lake. In their grief, people boating on the river, then gradually developed into the Dragon Boat race. It seems that the Dragon Boat Festival to eat dumplings, associated dragon boat race with the commemoration of Qu Yuan, Tang Wenxiu "Dragon Boat Festival" poem as evidence: "Dragon Boat Festival is from the who said, vancomycin rumors for Qu Yuan. Laughing Chujiang empty at all, can not be washed naoomi injustice."
迎涛神，此说出自东汉《曹娥碑》。曹娥是东汉上虞人，父亲溺于江中，数日不见尸体，当时孝女曹娥年仅十四岁，昼夜沿江号哭。过了十七天，在五月五日也投江，五日后抱出父尸。春秋时吴国忠臣伍子胥含冤而死之后，化为涛神，世人哀而祭之，故有端午节。
Ying Tao said the God, "from the Eastern Han Cao'e monument". Caoe Han Yu and his father drowned in the river, a few days not see the bodies, at that time in the militia Caoe only 14 years old, day and night along the wail. After seventeen days, in May 5th also cast Jiang, five days after holding the parent body. The spring and Autumn period, Wu die Hanyuan Wu Zixu accordance, as Tao God, the world is mourning and sacrifice, the Dragon Boat festival.
龙的节日，这种说法来自闻一多的《端午考》和《端午的历史教育》。他认为，五月初五是古代吴越地区“龙”的部落举行图腾祭祀的日子。其主要理由是：(一)端午节两个最主要的活动吃粽子和竞渡，都与龙相关。粽子投入水里常被蚊龙所窃，而竞渡则用的是龙舟。(二)竞渡与古代吴越地方的关系尤深，况且吴越百姓还有断发纹身“以像龙子”的习俗。(三)古代五月初五日有用“五彩丝系臂”的民间风俗，这应当是“像龙子”的纹身习俗的遗迹。
Dragon's festival, this statement from Wen Yiduo's "Dragon Boat test" and "the Dragon Boat Festival History Education". He thinks, fifth day of May is the ancient Wu Yue area "dragon" tribes totem worship days. The main reason is: (a) two major Dragon Boat Festival activities to eat dumplings and races, is related with the dragon. Zongzi into water is often the Dragon stolen, and the race is used is the Dragon boat. (two) the relationship between races and the ancient Wu Yue place deeply, and the people of Wu Yue have broken hair tattoo "to like dragon" custom. (three) ancient fifth day of the fifth lunar month, useful "colorful silk Department arm" folk custom, this should is "like a relic of the Longzi" tattoo custom.
恶日，在先秦时代，普遍认为五月是个毒月，五日是恶日。《吕氏春秋》中《仲夏记》一章规定人们在五月要禁欲、斋戒。《夏小正》中记：“此日蓄药，以蠲除毒气。”《大戴礼》中记，“五月五日畜兰为沐浴”以浴驱邪，认为重五是死亡之日的传说也很多。《史记?孟尝君列传》记历有名的孟尝君，在五月五日出生。其父要其母不要生下他，认为“五月子者，长于户齐，将不利其父母。”《风俗通》佚文，“俗说五月五日生子，男害父，女害母”。《论衡》的作者王充也记述：“讳举正月、五月子;以正月、五月子杀父与母，不得举也。”东晋大将王镇恶五月初五生，其祖父便给他取名为“镇恶”。宋徽宗赵佶五月初五生，从小寄养在宫外。可见，古代以五月初五为恶日，是普遍现象。可见从先秦以后，此日均为不吉之日。这样，在此日插菖蒲、艾叶以驱鬼，薰苍术、白芷和喝雄黄酒以避疫，就是顺理成章的事。
The evil days, in the pre Qin era, generally considered May is a poisonous month, five days is the evil day. "LvShiChunQiu" in "A Midsummer record" chapter in May to stipulate, fasting and abstinence. "Xia Xiaozheng" in mind: "this medicine storage, to Juan addition." "Da Dai Li", "May 5th livestock blue bath to bath exorcism that weight of five deaths, the legend of a lot. "Biography of Meng Changjun" historical records? Remember the history of the famous Meng Changjun, born in May 5th. His father to his parent don't he think, "May the son, longer than the household register, adverse to the parents." "Custom" book, "Su said in May 5th son, male victims father, mother and daughter". "Lun Heng," written by Wang Chong also describes: "taboo held on the first day of the first month, may the son; in the first month of the lunar year, may the father and son mother shall not lift well." The Eastern Jin Dynasty general Wang Zhene fifth in May, his grandfather gave him the name of "the town of evil". Song Huizong Zhao Ji May 5, from foster care in ectopic. Therefore, the ancient evil in May on fifth, is a common phenomenon. Visible from the pre Qin period, this is inauspicious day. So, today in Acorus calamus, Wormwood Leaves with spirits, embalm Cangzhu, a.dahurica and drink realgar wine to avoid the plague is logical things.
夏至，持这一看法的刘德谦在《“端午”始源又一说》和《中国传统节日趣谈》中，提出三个主要理由：(一)权威性的岁时著作《荆楚岁时记》并未提到五月初五日要吃粽子的节日风俗，却把吃粽子写在夏至节中。至于竟渡，隋代杜台卿所作的《玉烛宝典》把它划人夏至日的娱乐活动，可见不一定就是为了打捞投江的伟大诗人屈原。(二)端午节风俗中的一些内容，如“踏百草”、“斗百草”、“采杂药”等，实际上与屈原无关。(三)《岁时风物华纪丽》对端午节的第一个解释是：“日叶正阳，时当中即端午节正是夏季之中，故端午节又可称为天中节。由此端午节的最早起源当系夏至。众说纷纭，而以纪念屈原说影响最为广泛。由于屈原的人格艺超群，人们也愿意把这一纪念日归之于他。
The summer solstice, to Liu Deqian of this view in the "dragon boat" Siwon and said "and" China traditional festival farce ", put forward three main reasons: (a) authority of the old book" Jingchu age Ji not mentioned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to eat dumplings festival custom, but to eat dumplings written in the summer solstice festival. As for actually crossing, Taiwan Qing Du of the Sui Dynasty "jade candle collection," the plan of recreational activities in one summer solstice, visible is not necessarily in order to salvage the river the great poet Quyuan cast. (2) some of the contents of the Dragon Boat Festival customs, such as "riding a hundred herbs", "bucket Baicao", "mining complex drug" and so on, in fact and Qu Yuan has nothing to do. (III) the age of scenery Hua "Jili on the Dragon Boat Festival the first explanation is:" Ye Zhengyang. When is the Dragon Boat Festival it is summer, so the Dragon Boat Festival and festival days. This is the earliest origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, when the summer solstice. Opinions vary, in memory of Qu Yuan said the impact is the most widely. Because of Qu Yuan's outstanding art personality, people are willing to put this day to him.
