Traditional Festival Composition: Dragon Boat Festival River Lantern

Sunshine is like a fire in the sky, burning the sky and the earth in May, and the air is filled with the fragrance of red dates, bean paste, egg yolk and bamboo leaves. Oh! The annual Dragon Boat Festival is coming again.

Shanghai in summer is full of romantic colors. On the night of Dragon Boat Festival, there are stars on both sides of the strait. We stroll along the shore and enjoy all the beautiful things. Mother suggested installing a river lantern. Everyone agrees that the night of Dragon Boat Festival is the time to set off river lanterns.

Many river lanterns have already been released on the sparkling river, and the small river lanterns are flashing, which really has an unspeakable charm. According to the old man, the river lantern is an ancient folk way of expressing ideas, and the dragon boat festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan.

I also took out the lotus lamp, lit the candle with a lighter and stood on the steps of the river lantern. Every step, there is a person holding a river lantern waiting for his own moment. Children with river lanterns feel novel and fun, young people with river lanterns are silently wishing, and old people with river lanterns are feeling the changes of time. How sacred the scene was, I was deeply moved by the crowd dancing on the river lantern. Seeing that the lotus lamp has touched the water, my hand is a little reluctant to leave. The lotus lantern has reached my temperature, and its flower heart is full of my admiration for Qu Yuan ... suddenly it feels so heavy. Ah, isn't the people's love for Qu Yuan contained in this small river lantern?

Looking at the river lights in this river, the whole world seems to be illuminated by them. ...
