Dragon Boat Race, a major convention in the Festival, first appeared in the Warring States Age.

赛龙舟是端午节的一项重要传统，这项传统最初出现在战国时代。

At that time, it was only a sacrificial activity.

那时，赛龙舟仅仅属于祭祀活动。

Among the rapid drum, the dragon-like canoes cross the river like hot cakes, not only entertaining the gods but also bringing pleasure for people.

在急促的鼓点中，龙状的小船越过河流，就像刚出炉的点心一样，不仅怡悦神灵，也给人们带来欢乐。

Later people held Dragon Boat Race to memorialize the poet Qu Yuan who drowned himself in a river. Now Dragon Boat Race is a traditional entertainment for Chinese people.

后来人们举行龙舟赛，是为了纪念溺江而死的诗人屈原。而今，赛龙舟成为中国人民的传统娱乐方式。
