端午节的来历是什么？

Answer 1

端午节，又称端阳节、龙舟节、重午节、天中节等，源于自然天象崇拜，由上古时代祭龙演变而来。仲夏端午，苍龙七宿飞升于正南中天，处于全年最“正中”之位，即如《易经·乾卦》第五爻：“飞龙在天”。端午是“飞龙在天”的吉祥日子，龙及龙舟文化始终贯穿在端午节的传承历史中。端午节是集拜神祭祖、祈福辟邪、欢庆娱乐和饮食为一体的民俗大节。
端午节，本是上古先民创立用于拜祭龙祖、祈福辟邪的节日。传说战国时期的楚国诗人屈原在五月五日跳汨罗江自尽，后人亦将端午节作为纪念屈原的节日；也有纪念伍子胥、曹娥及介子推等说法。端午节的起源涵盖了古老星象文化、人文哲学等方面内容，蕴含着深邃丰厚的文化内涵，在传承发展中杂糅了多种民俗为一体，各地因地域文化不同而又存在着习俗内容或细节上的差异。
端午节与春节、清明节、中秋节并称为中国四大传统节日。端午文化在世界上影响广泛，世界上一些国家和地区也有庆贺端午的活动。2006年5月，国务院将其列入首批国家级非物质文化遗产名录；自2008年起，被列为国家法定节假日。2009年9月，联合国教科文组织正式批准将其列入《人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录》，端午节成为中国首个入选世界非遗的节日。
