屈原投江的小故事

据《史记》“屈原贾生列传”记载，屈原，是春秋时期楚怀王的大臣。他倡导举贤授能，富国强兵，力主联齐抗秦，遭到贵族子兰等人的强烈反对，屈原遭馋去职，被赶出都城，流放到沅、湘流域。他在流放中，写下了忧国忧民的《离骚》、《天问》、《九歌》等不朽诗篇，独具风貌，影响深远(因而，端午节也称诗人节)。公元前278年，秦军攻破楚国京都。屈原眼看自己的祖国被侵略，心如刀割，但是始终不忍舍弃自己的祖国，于五月五日，在写下了绝笔作《怀沙》之后，抱石投汨罗江身死，以自己的生命谱写了一曲壮丽的爱国主义乐章。

传说屈原死后，楚国百姓哀痛异常，纷纷涌到汨罗江边去凭吊屈原。渔夫们划起船只，在江上来回打捞他的真身。有位渔7a64e78988e69d83362夫拿出为屈原准备的饭团、鸡蛋等食物，“扑通、扑通”地丢进江里，说是让鱼龙虾蟹吃饱了，就不会去咬屈大夫的身体了。人们见后纷纷仿效。一位老医师则拿来一坛雄黄酒倒进江里，说是要药晕蛟龙水兽，以免伤害屈大夫。后来为怕饭团为蛟龙所食，人们想出用楝树叶包饭，外缠彩丝，发展成棕子。

There are many legends about the evolution of the festival, the most popular of which is in commemoration of Qu Yuan (340-278 BC). Qu Yuan was minister of the State of Chu and one of China's earliest poets. In face of great pressure from the powerful Qin State, he advocated enriching the country and strengthening its military forces so as to fight against the Qin. However, he was opposed by aristocrats headed by Zi Lan, and later deposed and exiled by King Huai. In his exiled days, he still cared much for his country and people and composed immortal poems including Li Sao (The Lament), Tian Wen (Heavenly Questions) and Jiu Ge (Nine Songs), which had far-reaching influences. In 278 BC, he heard the news that Qin troops had finally conquered Chu's capital, so he finished his last piece Huai Sha (Embracing Sand) and plunged himself into the Miluo River, clasping his arms to a large stone. The day happened to be the 5th of the 5th month in the Chinese lunar calendar.

After his death, the people of Chu crowded to the bank of the river to pay their respects to him. The fishermen sailed their boats up and down the river to look for his body. People threw into the water zongzi (pyramid-shaped glutinous rice dumplings wrapped in reed or bamboo leaves) and eggs to divert possible fish or shrimp from attacking his body. An old doctor poured a jug of reaglar wine (Chinese liquor seasoned with realgar) into the water, hoping to turn all aquatic beasts drunk. That's why people later followed the customs such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine on that day.

屈原虽忠百事楚怀王，但却屡遭排挤，怀王死后又因顷襄度王听信谗言而被流放。 屈原晚年在沅水问、湘水流域长期过着流放生活，眼看祖国日益衰弱，即将被秦灭亡，自己报效君王答的抱负不得施展，忧心回如焚，无日可了，写了大量抒发忧愤的诗作，最后答在绝望中投汨罗江自尽
屈原本为楚国重臣，早年受楚怀王信任，后来遭剑刃排挤，楚怀王冷落屈原，屈原顿感国亡积怨知，投江而死。

屈原(公元前340年～前278年)，名平，出身于楚国的贵族。起初他颇受楚怀王的信任，曾做到左徒的高官，他主张改良内政，联齐抗秦。但是，楚道怀王的令尹子椒、上官大夫靳尚和他的宠妃郑袖等人，由于受了秦国使者张仪版的贿赂，不但阻止怀王接受屈原的意见，并且使怀王疏远了屈原。结果楚怀王被秦国诱去，囚死在秦国。

顷襄王继位后，屈原继续受到迫害，并一再遭到放逐。权公元前278年，秦国大将白起带兵南下，攻破了楚国国都，屈原对前途感到绝望，就在同年五月五日投汨罗江自杀。

屈原本为楚国重臣，早年受楚怀王信任， 任左徒，常与怀王商议国事，参与法律的制定。 同时主持外交事务。 主张楚国与齐国联合，共同抗衡秦国。 在屈原努力下，楚国国力有所增强。 但由于自身性格耿直加之他人谗言与排挤， 屈原逐渐被楚怀王疏远。 怀王二十四年，屈原被逐出郢都，流落到汉北。 流放期间，屈原感到心中郁闷，开始文学创作， 在作品中洋溢着对楚地楚风的眷恋和为民报国的热情。 后来源曾经被召返。 怀王三十年，楚怀王不听屈原劝阻， 执意入秦，被扣留，后来客死秦国。 楚顷襄王即位后昏庸无道， 听信令尹子兰的谗言， 再次驱逐屈原。 屈原流落在今湖南沅水湘水一带。 顷襄王二十一年（前278年），秦国大将白起挥兵南下， 攻破了郢都，屈原在绝望和悲愤之下怀大zd石投汨罗江而死。 传说当地百姓投下粽子喂鱼以此防止屈原遗体被鱼所食， 后来逐渐形成一种仪式。 以后每年的农历五月初五为端午节， 人们吃粽子，划龙舟以纪念这位伟大的爱国诗人。 据闻一多考证在屈原投江之前， 吴越一带已有端午节存在， 但从屈原2200多年前逝世一直到今天， 中国社会主流所公认的一直是端午节祭祀屈原。
