China Excellent Traditional Culture Composition (500 words)

After Qu Yuan died, his descendants remembered him. Although he has always lived in people's hearts, he still has to show it in reality. They rowed in the river where Qu Yuan committed suicide and scattered rice balls wrapped in leaves. People think that fish and shrimp will eat these rice balls, not Qu Yuan's body. As a result, boating in the river has become a dragon boat race, and rice balls have become zongzi that every family eats now. On that day, people set that day as a memorial day to commemorate the great patriot Qu Yuan. April 4th every year is the day to commemorate Qu Yuan, which we call "Tomb-Sweeping Day".

For example, there are many such examples. Many people certainly don't understand why firecrackers are set off on New Year's Eve and Spring Festival. Let me tell you why.

According to legend, one day every year, a man named Nian Beast disturbed the safety of residents, gave them food, destroyed their houses and made them panic. However, seeing Nian beast is so fierce and tall, they dare not compete with it. Finally, one day, they found that Nian beast was afraid of noise, so on the day when Nian beast came, every household set off firecrackers. Nian beast heard these firecrackers and fled in fear, and people finally returned to a quiet life. That day became the Spring Festival on New Year's Eve, and that's how things came about. Every household should celebrate the New Year with red envelopes, which is auspicious, indicating that this year will be rich and safe.
