在大家庭里(extended family)，老一辈人的意见受到尊重，小一辈的人得到全家的爱护。
赡养父母是成年子女义不容辞的责任。
在城市里，不和家里老人一起住的年轻夫妇给老人生活费(living allowances)并帮助他们干家务活儿。
在农村，尽管大家庭解体(dissolve)了，许多结了婚的儿子和他的家人还和父母住在同一个院子里。
还有的往往把房子盖在父母家附近，这样父母和子女互相帮助、探望都和过去一样方便。
In the extended families, older member’s opinion was respected, and the youngest members are loved and taken good care of by all. Grown-up children are duty-bound to support their parents. In the cities, young couples who do not live with their aged parents give the latter living allowances and help them with the house chores. In the countryside, though quite a number of extended families have dissolved, many married sons and their families continue to live in the same courtyard with their parents. Some have their houses built near their parents’ home, making it convenient for parents and children to help and visit each other as before.公元前278年，屈原听到秦国军队攻破了楚国的国都，便投汨罗江(the Miluo River)自杀了。
那天正好是农历( lunar calendar)五月五日。
听到这个消息，附近的老百姓纷纷赶来，四处打捞(retrieve)屈原的遗体，结果什么也没打捞到。
他们担心屈原的遗体被江里的鱼虾（ shrimp）吃掉，就把粽子(zongzi/rice dumpling）扔到江里去。
以后，每到这一天，中国人家家户户包粽子、吃粽子，表示对伟大诗人屈原的纪念。
这就是中国人民的传统节日“端午节”（the Double Fifth Festival /the Dragon Boat Festival）。

That day happened to be the fifth day of the fifth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. On hearing the news, people nearby came hurriedly and attempted to retrieve his body but failed. Worried that his body might be eaten up by fish and shrimps, they threw zongzi into the water. Since then, on this day, each household in China would make and eat zongzi in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan. This is the traditional Chinese festival known as the double Fifth Festival.济南，国家重要的政治、军事、经济、文化中心，区域性金融中心，山东省省会，中国优秀旅游城市，国家历史文化名城。
