Dragon Boat Festival

Duanwu Festival Watching Picture Writing:

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is celebrated in honor of the great poet Qu Yuan. After Qu Yuan jumped into the river, some fishermen went to salvage Qu Yuan's real body, and some people threw the dumplings into the river, in order to let the fish and shrimp and augur eat their fill and not eat Qu Yuan.

Duanwu Festival so on this day, people have to pack zongzi to eat. Zongzi practice is very simple: first put materials on the glutinous rice, the glutinous rice into three-dimensional triangle, and then wrapped in mugwort leaves, steamed for a while, the zongzi is done.

Every family has to make dumplings, and my family is no exception. I put all kinds of things on the glutinous rice, mom made the glutinous rice into a three-dimensional triangle, dad wrapped with moxa leaves, and finally put in the pot to cook. The dumplings are ready, smell, aroma, eat a bite, sweet but not greasy.

On this day, people also want to race dragon boats, which is a race to row a boat in the shape of a dragon. But I have only seen it on TV, I have never seen such an intense scene with my own eyes, next time I have a chance I must go to see it with my own eyes.

The Dragon Boat Festival is really an interesting traditional festival!
