自言自语

某日翻阅某杂志时发现了一篇有趣的报道：“某心理学家建议人们不时进行有意识的自言自语。” 专家认为自言自语是最健康的舒缓精神压力的好方法。自己的声音能令自己镇静、较容易走出阴影，投入社交活动。

大家一起来自言自语吧！

惋惜

曾经可以是无所不谈的好友，却因一方的不耐与轻易放弃而成了今日的普通朋友。
“忠言逆耳”这四个字一次又一次成了放弃的好籍口。从一开始的关怀、担心，到了后来的堂而皇之借用为对方设想的籍口而狠心放手。

“真正的朋友是经得起考验的。”看来真正的友谊从未萌芽。。。

端午节

农历五月初五是端午节，这一天也叫端阳节、五月节、重午、午日、夏节、等等。

关于端午节的由来，众说纷纭，有人说是为了纪念屈原；有人说是为了纪念伍子胥 ；有人说是为了纪念曹娥；有人说端午起源于三代夏至节；有人说端午是恶月恶日驱避，也有人说端午是吴月民族图腾祭说等等。

一般深入民心的说法是：端午节是为了纪念楚國诗人屈原，他在五月初五这天投汨罗江自尽殉国。但许多盛行于世的端午习俗早在此之前即已流传，而且不少都有驱瘟避疫的成分，故此有人推测，端午节源于对恶日（即农历五月，因仲夏瘟疫流行而得名）的禁忌。

端午节最重要的两项活动——赛龙舟和吃粽子，都和龙有关。故也有人推测端午节可能是迎涛神祭图腾的习俗。相传古代中国南方吴越民族自认为是龙的传人，每年五月初五举行祭图腾仪式，以求来年风调雨顺、大丰收。他们把食物裹在树叶里或装在竹子里，投到江里面去。后来他们还有在这天划着独木舟拜访亲朋好友的做法。高兴时就即兴举行独木舟赛，慢慢演变成今天的赛龙舟。

我就说现代的农历五月初五，端午节，是吃粽子的节日。

端午节快乐！
