Qu Yuan and the Dragon Boat Festival
屈原忠而见疏，投汨罗江。后世以龙舟、粽子纪念，形成端午节俗。英语高搜 “Dragon Boat Festival / Qu Yuan”。页面应区分历史人物、传说层与节日民俗，避免把爱国简化成口号。
Qu Yuan, a loyal minister in legend and history’s edge, is said to have drowned in the Miluo River; later generations remember him with dragon-boat races and sticky-rice zongzi—the Dragon Boat Festival. Extremely searchable in English. Teach layers: historical figure, poetic tradition (Lisao), and festival practice. Avoid reducing patriotism to a slogan; emphasize remembrance as communal rhythm.
屈原与端午：以身殉志，民俗以舟与粽记住——忠不一定被当世理解。读诗与读节要分开：一重抉择，一重共同体的纪念方式。今日：理想碰壁时，问清什么值得守，什么只是意气。
Qu Yuan and the Dragon Boat: dying for a stance; folk memory keeps boats and rice—loyalty is not always understood in its day. Separate poem from festival: choice vs communal remembering.
After the moral, ask one question: if a similar choice showed up today, where does the story snag? Name that tension first—then take your own step. You need not copy the ancients, only borrow their clarity.
