19日上午，丝路青年论坛欢声笑语，来自“一带一路”国家的留学生和秘书处的青年在一起包粽子，快乐地过起了端午节。

新鲜的芦苇叶绿意盎然，洁白的江米粒粒清爽；红豆散发着温馨，红枣释放着甜蜜。拴上艳丽的五色丝线，和中华文化相拥，佩着红彤彤的金线香囊，感受中国新时代的气息。

来自越南、老挝等国家的青年从小就听说过端午节和屈原的故事；来自缅甸的青年寸待吉家里一直保留着吃粽子的习惯，只是做法吃法不同；来自苏丹的青年泰汉已经在读博士，他的家乡没有芦苇和竹子，没有江米，更没有听说过中国的粽子，但他在中国读书多年，每到端午节，学校的食堂都会给每位留学生备好各式各样的粽子，所以他已经知道了粽子的味道，知道了一些端午文化，当他第一个包出了最像“粽子”的粽子后，在大家的祝贺声中，一手举起粽子，一手指着胸前的香囊，说自己是“粽子冠军”。大家包出的粽子虽然神采各异，但在交谈中进一步了解了粽子里的文化，对粽子的由来有了一些新的认识，进而谈到中国的文化。在中国读书，收获的不仅是专业的知识，同时也逐步了解了中国的人文精神，特别是民俗文化中的信仰。有的青年在交流中又提起了本国的传统节日。

端午节文化内涵丰富，人文精神深厚。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，中国国务院将端午节列入首批国家级非物质文化遗产名录；2009年9月，联合国教科文组织正式批准将端午节列入《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。

粽子熟了，伴着开心的笑声吃着自己亲手包的粽子。大家说这是他们第一次亲手包粽子，更是第一次吃自己包的粽子。这是他们在中国过的最有意义的节日。

On the morning of June 19th, the Silk Road Youth Forum was full of laughter. Youth from the "Belt and Road" countries and the Silk Road Youth Forum Secretariat wrapped zongzi together and happily celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival.

The fresh reed leaves were green, and the white grains of rice were refreshing; The red beans exuded warmth, and red dates released sweetness.

Tying the gorgeous five-colour silk thread while embracing the Chinese culture, wearing the red gold thread sachet, the breath of China's new era is felt.

Silk Road youth from Vietnam, Laos and other countries have heard the story of the Dragon Boat Festival and Qu Yuan since childhood; Young people from Myanmar have always retained the habit of eating zongzi at home, but the way they are eaten is different; An international doctorate student from Sudan, shares his hometown has no reeds and bamboo, no Jiangmi, and has not heard of Chinese zongzi, but he has been studying in China for many years, every Dragon Boat Festival, the school's canteen prepares a variety of zongzi for each international student, so he already knows the taste of zongzi and some Dragon Boat culture. When he became the first to wrap the "zongzi" like a traditionally wrapped zongzi, during everyone's congratulations, with one hand raised holding the zongzi, the other pointed to the sachet on his chest, he declared that he was the "zongzi champion".

Although the rice dumplings wrapped by everyone had different looks, they further understood the culture in the rice dumplings during conversations, gained some new understanding of the origin of the rice dumplings, and then talked about Chinese culture. Studying in China, they not only gain professional knowledge but also gradually understand the Chinese humanistic spirit, especially the belief in folk culture. The young people also mentioned the traditional festivals in their countries.

The Dragon Boat Festival has a rich cultural connotation and a profound humanistic spirit. This culture has a wide influence in the world, and some countries and regions around the world also have activities to celebrate it. In May 2006, the State Council of China included the Dragon Boat Festival in the first batch of the national intangible cultural heritage list; In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved the Dragon Boat Festival to be included in the "Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity", becoming the first Chinese festival to be included in the World Intangible Cultural Heritage.
