T-1. Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, and together with Chinese New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival forms one of the three major Chinese holidays. Since the summer is a time when diseases most easily spread, Dragon Boat Festival began as an occasion for driving off evil spirits and pestilence and for finding peace in one’s life. The festival was later enriched by the legend of the patriot Qu Yuan.
T-2. The festival’s significance as a time for warding off evil and disease is symbolized by a number of customary practices such as hanging calamus and moxa on the front door, and pasting up pictures of Chongkui.
T-3. Adults drink Xionghunag wine and children are given fragrant sachets, both of which are said to possess qualities for preventing evil and bringing peace. Another custom practiced in Taiwan is “fetch noon water” in which people draw well water on the afternoon of the festival in the belief that it will cure illness. And if you can successfully stand an egg on its end exactly at 12:00 noon, then the coming year will be a lucky one.
T-4. The most popular dish during Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi, originally eaten in memory of the patriot Qu Yuan, but gradually evolving into a snack eaten during normal occasions as well. Of all the major holidays celebrated in China, Dragon Boat Festival has the longest history.

Wk#1.4 鍾馗的故事 – 鍾馗乃唐朝人物，其生前曾應武舉狀元，但因其貌不揚，被取消狀元資格，鍾馗因此自殺。死後唐朝天子因後悔而追封為驅魔大師，派他消滅天下孽。地上的人知道了鍾馗的故事，又知道地上的妖魔鬼怪都怕他，所以每到了端午節這天，傳說妖魔鬼怪會出現，就把它的畫像掛起來，端午節多懸鍾馗之像謂能驅邪鎮惡之意。

Wk #2.1《山海经》是先秦重要古籍，是一部富于神话传说的最古老的地理书，全书共计18卷，包括《山经》5卷，《海经》8卷，《大荒经》5卷。内容包罗万象，主要记述古代地理、动物、植物、矿产、神话、巫术、宗教等，也包括古史、医药、民俗、民族等方面的内容。
Wk #2.2 除此之外，《山海经》还以流水帐方式记载了一些奇怪的事件，对这些事件至今仍然存在较大的争论。最有代表性的神话寓言故事包括夸父逐日、女娲补天、精卫填海、大禹治水、羿射九日等。具体成书年代及作者已无从考证，普遍认为其并非成书于一时，也不是一个作者写的。

Also: 中秋節的由來
鍾馗的故事 – 鍾馗乃唐朝人物，其生前曾應武舉狀元，但因其貌不揚，被取消狀元資格，鍾馗因此自殺。死後唐朝天子因後悔而追封為驅魔大師，派他消滅天下孽。地上的人知道了鍾馗的故事，又知道地上的妖魔鬼怪都怕他，所以每到了端午節這天，傳說妖魔鬼怪會出現，就把它的畫像掛起來，端午節多懸鍾馗之像謂能驅邪鎮惡之意。
The Story of Zhongkui – Zhongkui lived during the Tang Dynasty, and while he was alive scored a very high score on the imperial provincial examination, but because he had a terrible appearance his scores were cancelled. Zhongkui killed himself because of this. After his death, the Tang emperor regretted Zhongkui’s fate and decided to grant him a posthumous title as the Great Master of Exorcism, and sent him out to put an end to all evil. The common people knew Zhongkui’s story, and that all common demons and ghosts feared him. So, during the Dragon Boat Festival every year – when demons and ghosts tend to appear – common people hang Zhongkui’s portrait, and so the Dragon Boat Festival uses his likeness to drive out evil and suppress its desires.
白蛇傳 – 白蛇仙姑因愛戀許仙，被如來佛長期囚禁，乃憤然掙斷枷鎖，奔向人間，在青蛇協助之下，與謫貶下凡的許仙結為夫妻，法海禪師尾隨下凡，累施暗害，倒行逆施，拆散美滿姻緣，白蛇怒顯神通水漫金山，勇鬥凶神惡將，仍抵不過法海的紫金缽，被壓在西湖邊的雷峰塔底。故事纏綿悱惻，為中國四大傳說之一。
The Tale of the White Snake – White Snake was a female immortal who was imprisoned for a long time because of her love for Xuxian. She angrily struggled to break her chains, and race towards the human world, and with the assistance of Green Snake, she was banished to the mortal world and married Xuxian. The Buddhist Monk Fahai followed on her heels and tried to secretly kill them, to go against the tide by trying to break up their blissful destined marriage. White Snake used her incredible powers to free the waters of Jinshan, and bravely fought off an evil demon general, but was still unable to match the amethyst alms bowl of Fahai, and was pushed beneath the bottom of Leifeng Pagoda by the West Lake. This story is too sad for words, and because of this it is one of China’s Four Great Legends.
缠绵悱恻
最有名的傳說都纏綿悱惻。名字是《白蛇傳》、《梁山伯与祝英台》、《孟姜女》和《牛郎织女》。
B) 中国文化丰富多彩，中国历史悠久！
C) 忠心愛國

Rachel’s English translation:
1.5 ZhongKui is a figure from the tang dynasty. During his life he was a military man and he tested highest on his military test but because was ugly he was revoked these titles so he committed suicide. After he died the emperors son regretted what he had done so he chased after Zhong Kui and made him master of driving out evil and removing all of earths evil. Everyone knows Zhong Kui’s story and know that every evil spirit fears him. When Dragon Boat Festival arrives it is said that spirits can walk the earth, so people hang paintings of Zhong Kui up, during Dragon Boat Festival there are always many painting of him hung up in order to drive away these spirits.
1.6 White Snake (high mountain or goddess) was put in jail by a Buddha because she loved WuXian (a human). She was infuriated by this and tried to break her shackles. She raced to the human world and was under the protection of Green Snake. She demoted herself to the human world in order to become husband and wife with WuXian. To carry out law a High Buddhist Monk followed her into the earthly realm and assassinated her. It was not acceptable by society and perfect lover’s fate was broken. White Snake was furious and called on the spirit of the golden mountain and bravely fought the evil spirit. The efforts were not enough and she was placed on purple golden bowl?. She was forced to the west rivers adjacent mountain tower. This story is incredibly sentimental and so it is one of the four most famous tradition Chinese tales
a. 山海經是先秦的書。書的具體年代現在沒有辦法考證。這本書有很多傳說，神話，還有古老的地理。因為山海經包括很多題目， 也因為是個很古老的書，我們不知道作者是誰。作者應該不是一個人。 這本書花了很長的時間來寫.
b. 這本古籍記述的內容很廣。 包括許多信息, 所以很重要。包括很多方面。比如說，有山經， 海經， 還有大荒經。 有古代的地理，動物， 植物，和礦產。也有巫術，宗教，和故事。還有古老的醫藥，民俗，和民族。
c. “流水帳方式’’ 的記述是說人每天做的事。比如說，寫日記就是流水帳的方式。 一般是按照時間順序。記述的事情
delete， 可以也可以很小use set phrase –> 可大可小。像記述流水一樣，記事情。d. 因為這本書記述了一些奇怪的事件。現在大家對這些事件有很大的爭論。裡邊有很多神話寓言故事。 所以很多人覺得這本書有點奇怪。
1-山海经是哪个朝代的书？作者是谁？
山海经是先秦时的一本书。这个意思是秦代以前。其实因为很老，大部分故事都是从民间流传下来的。因为没有人知道是谁开始流传这些神话，所以没办法说作者是谁。
2-这本古籍记述的内容很广，包括哪些方面？
内容包罗万象，包括《山经》，《海经》及《大荒经》。具体是古代地理、动物、植物、矿产、神话、巫术、宗教等，还有古史、医药、民俗、民族。除了这一些题目，《山海经》包括一些神话。
3-什么是“流水帐方式”的记述？
流水帐方式是一种写法。它跟日记很像。有一些故事，神话或传说是用这个“流水帐方式”写的。这些故事可以包括非常多的细节。
4-为什么很多学者和读者觉得这本书有点奇怪？
有人觉得故事是真的。但是还有一些觉得是假的。有一些写着觉得不真实所以奇怪。这本书不太受那个时候的读
写者的欢迎。意思是他们平常争论关于这本书上的传说。5-请说一说书中有代表性的神话故事有哪些。
这本书上的有代表性的神话故事有很多。其中
有最广为人知的有夸父逐日、女娲补天、精卫填海、大禹治水、羿射九日。
