每年，中国各地的家庭都会团聚在一起庆祝端午节，这是一个纪念中国英雄和诗人屈原去世的全国性节日。

Every year, Chinese families throughout the country reunite to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, a national holiday which commemorates the death of Qu Yuan, a chinese hero and poet.

在为期三天的节日里，家人分享习俗和传统食物。

比如粽子，这是代代相传的。

Over the three-day festival, families share customs and traditional food.

such as zongzi, which have been passed from generation to generation.

粽子是用粽叶煮熟的糯米，传统上人们把粽子扔进河里，因为传说这样鱼就会吃粽子而不是在汨罗江溺死的屈原的尸体。

Zongzi, sticky rice cooked in bamboo leaves, was traditionally thrown intorivers, as the myth says that this way fish would eat the dumpling ratherthan the body of Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Miluo river.

这是许家三代人，以及他们的朋友和邻居在厦门马巷举行的聚会。This is the reunion of three generations of the Xu family, along with their friends and neighbors, which took place on Ma Xiang street in Xiamen.
