Dragon boat festival weekly diary
Dragon Boat Festival Weekly 1 As soon as I saw my mother's table with rice and rice leaves, I knew the Dragon Boat Festival was coming again.
When I was young, I didn't know the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. I only know that the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated at home every year like the Chinese New Year. Later, I only knew a little legend in memory of Qu Yuan, but I knew nothing else.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, it is essential to wear sachets and tie colorful threads. The first important thing for adults is to tie the five-color thread around the child's wrist, ankle and neck. The tied five-color thread can only be thrown away in the first heavy rain or the first bath in summer. My mother told me that according to the old people, it can avoid disasters and keep healthy.
Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is the main custom in our hometown. Just in May, my family began to soak glutinous rice. My mother usually prepares a pot of rice and soaks leaves in water. Maybe the soaked glutinous rice will be more sticky. I remember my mother doing this for many years.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother began to make zongzi. I occasionally make trouble and try to make zongzi, but I fail every time. It seems that it is not easy to wrap zongzi.
When wrapping zongzi, you can also put some dates, raisins, chicken and so on. Put it into glutinous rice to make jiaozi with different flavors. Besides, I like paella best, which tastes particularly delicious.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother always wakes me up when I am sleepy and goes to the distant Woods and rivers to wash my face. The cool river washed away my drowsiness, and lively people came and went, really like the New Year.
At home, eating eggs and glutinous rice balls dipped in sugar, my heart is full of joy.
Dragon Boat Festival Weekly 2 is another year of Dragon Boat Festival and another year of fragrant dumplings. The land of China is full of warmth, and the descendants of the Chinese people are intoxicated by the elegant fragrance of Zongye and the immortal spirit of Qu Yuan. Where there is a shore, there is a Chu song.
Two thousand three hundred years ago, a thin old man looked up at the sky. He is worried about his country, where people have a high standard of living. When the news came that the capital of Miluo was captured, he wandered by the Miluo River. He was angry and sad. Finally, he chanted "Everyone is drunk, I wake up alone" and sank into the river with indignation. People are afraid of this river. In this way, they won't hurt their beloved Qu Yuan. It can be said that no food can be as rich in connotation as zongzi. The shape of zongzi is angular, which symbolizes Qu Yuan's angular character and does not follow the crowd. There is a red date in Zongzi, which symbolizes Qu Yuan's dedication ... In short, Zongzi expresses people's great respect for Qu Yuan.
Qu yuan never thought that he endured the loneliness that no one understood before his death; After his death, successors ran through the ages, one after another, emerging one after another. Li Bai, Du Fu, Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Tan Sitong ..., countless warm-blooded men inherited the spirit of Qu Yuan. It can be said that he made the Dragon Boat Festival glow; It was he who made Xiangshui accept the worship, and it was he who made the Chinese people move from ignorance to progress. Throughout the ages, how many people have sung "The road is long, Xiu Yuan and Xiu Yuan are Xi, and I will go up and down to seek"; How many people shed their blood to express their love for the motherland?
But for today's China people, Qu Yuan's spirit has never been so close to us and so cordial. These are all caused by the 5. 12 Sichuan earthquake that shocked the world, which made China1300 million people more closely linked and made China people miss Qu Yuan more. Qu Yuan was in adversity all his life, but he always had feelings for the motherland, shared the same fate with the country. Isn't what China needs most at present a patriotic complex? Isn't the dragon boat race on the river the result of the cooperation of 65.438+300 million people and Qi Xin? People are sailing in big boats. In the face of the tenacity of nature, human beings are United and connected by blood.
In this season of fragrant rice leaves, we walk more steadily, more firmly and invincible, just because we have a firm belief in our hearts, that is, to love China!
More than 3,000 years ago, Mr. Qu Yuan, who wrote Li Sao one by one, plunged into the rolling river with patriotic enthusiasm and grief over the sinking of the motherland. To commemorate this respected patriot, people throw zongzi (rice with leaves and dates with rice) into the river every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month (the day when Qu Yuan jumped into the river). Over time, this has become a custom, and this day is also named Dragon Boat Festival. ...
Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. It is not only a precious cultural heritage, but also an opportunity to inspire people's patriotic enthusiasm. Every time you open zongzi, you can't help but see a patriotic and loyal soul that has been handed down through the ages. ...
However, times have changed, and now the Dragon Boat Festival no longer belongs to China. Among the new batch of cultural heritages announced by UNESCO not long ago, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a Korean cultural heritage in an aggressive manner, which can not help but surprise many Chinese descendants. What should we do after learning the news? Complaining that the relevant UN agencies are not rigorous? Criticize South Korea for distorting history? Still feel sorry for the patent transfer of "Zongzi"? I don't think so. We should reflect.
China is a vast country with a history of 5000 years. During this period, there are many traditions and cultures worth following. Of course, our thinking can't be static, and we should make appropriate screening and improvement. But it is absolutely impossible to forget it all. Some people will say: We also celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and we can't forget them. This sounds good, but think about it carefully. Besides "celebrating" the Dragon Boat Festival, what else have we done? What kind of spiritual touch have we had because of the festival? After all, the festival is over: it's plain and dull, and I usually kill the days as usual, but the recipe has changed, adding a "zongzi" and being picky. This is the Dragon Boat Festival in China. Maybe everyone will think of Qu Yuan's throwing himself into the river that day, but I wonder how many people were really shocked by his patriotic feelings when he threw himself into the river? We are eroding the essence of history, compressing the sentiments of the ancients and breaking the wings of tradition.
In contrast to South Korea, regardless of the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, let's first look at their respect for tradition: the etiquette advocated by Confucius has never stopped since it was introduced to South Korea a long time ago. Koreans follow the etiquette more than any corner in the world, and respect Confucius more than China. We can only recite the Analects of Confucius, and Koreans have already put it into action. In the turmoil of 10, China people criticized the spirit of Confucius, but they worshipped him as the father of etiquette and truly integrated the essence of Confucius into their beliefs. After years of dialectical analysis, we find that the spirit of Confucius needs to be preserved selectively, but the countries on the other side of the Yellow Sea are improving day by day. In recent years, the Korean Wave has made domestic TV series untenable. From their TV series, many people in China are amazed at the etiquette there and want to learn and emulate it, but it is actually a tradition created by our ancestors! Then what reason do we have to criticize the ownership of the Dragon Boat Festival? I don't cherish tradition, so I should naturally give it to a nation that respects and admires it.
Quote an Analects of Confucius: "It is not a big deal to correct mistakes." I wrote "My hometown ..." in the title, just to let everyone know that tradition can't be lost or completely denied. Because Dragon Boat Festival is always a festival in our hometown, people all over China know how to celebrate it!
The fourth chapter of Dragon Boat Festival Weekly is "May 5th, which is Duanyang. Insert Artemisia argyi and put on the sachet. Eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The dragon boat went into the water happily. " Whenever I sing this children's song, I will think of the traditional festival in our country, also called Duanyang Festival, which emphasizes five festivals.
The day before Dragon Boat Festival, my mother took me to the market to buy palm leaves, candied dates, glutinous rice and so on. In the evening, my mother, aunt and sister and I sat at the table making zongzi. Before dawn that day, my mother got up to make zongzi while I was still sleeping in bed. Suddenly I smelled a strong fragrance, so I opened my sleepy eyes and got up and followed the fragrance into the kitchen. Seeing delicious zongzi almost made my mouth water. My mother couldn't help laughing when she saw my greedy cat. She also smiled and said, "You are a lovely little greedy cat. If you want to eat, you have to brush your teeth and wash your face ~ ~ ~ "Before my mother finished, I quickly ran to the pool to wash it. After a while, I brushed my teeth and liked my face, so I quickly ran to the table and sat down, ready to eat delicious zongzi. Not long after, my mother brought a lot of zongzi and said as she walked, "Little greedy cat, here comes your favorite zongzi." There are meat dumplings, sausage dumplings and so on. I can't wait. I ate three big zongzi at a time. After breakfast, my father took me to the river to watch the dragon boat race.
When we arrived at the river, there was a sea of people, and my father and I managed to get to the front. I watched it and asked my father, "Why do you want to eat zongzi and race dragon boats?" So, my father told me slowly. In fact, it is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Historically, Qu Yuan was an official of the court of Chu and a loyal minister. But he was framed by a traitor in the imperial court and could not serve the country. In order to show his loyalty and arouse the patriotic feelings of Chu people, Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River to show his loyalty by dying. In order to prevent Qu Yuan from being swallowed up by fish, jiaozi, shrimps and crabs in the river, people wrapped a lot of zongzi to block their mouths. Therefore, wherever we go, people always wrap jiaozi in memory of Qu Yuan. As for other commemorative methods, they are handed down from generation to generation. In short, it is to show our respect for Qu Yuan.
It was getting dark, and my father and I walked home and sang my favorite children's song: "May 5th, Duanyang. Insert Artemisia argyi and put on the sachet. Eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The dragon boat went into the water happily. "
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is one of our biggest traditional festivals.
There are various sources and stories about the Dragon Boat Festival. Today I'm going to tell a story about filial piety to my daughter Cao E. A long time ago, the filial daughter Cao E jumped into the river to save her father. My father drowned in the river, and his body disappeared for several days. At that time, Cao E, the filial daughter, was only fourteen years old, crying day and night by the river. Seventeen days later, she also threw herself into the river on May 5, and fished out her father's body five days later. From then on, it was handed down as a myth and passed on to the governor of the county government, making it a monument to disciple Han Danchun's eulogy. The tomb of the filial daughter is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province today, and there is a monument made by Jin. Later generations commemorate Cao E's filial piety. Cao E Temple was built in the place where Cao E threw himself into the river. The village where she lived was renamed Cao E Town, and the place where Cao E died was named Cao E River. The story is over, ah! Sister Cao E was so great that she jumped into the river to look for her father's body.
Zongzi, vermicelli, garlic and eggs ... these are the main dietary customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. We mainly eat zongzi in China. Let's go to Minnan to see zongzi. Minnan Brown must buy top-class roasted meat dumplings. Pork should be pork belly, pickled and fragrant first, then add mushrooms, shrimps, lotus seeds, braised pork soup, sugar and so on. When eating, add garlic paste, red pepper, radish acid and other seasonings to make it sweet and smooth, oily but not greasy. Ah! It makes my mouth water.
May 5th is Duanyang. Insert mugwort leaves, wear sachets, eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The Dragon Boat Festival is happily unfolding, and it is really a lively and extraordinary festival!
On the fifth day of May every year, every family gets together to eat zongzi, make zongzi and watch the dragon boat race.
On the fifth day of May this year, our family also got together. Grandma and I make zongzi in the kitchen. Dad and his uncles play mahjong together to fight the landlord. While my mother and menstruation are chatting together, only my grandmother and I have a good time in the kitchen.
However, we had a good time in the kitchen. Grandma and I are wrapping jiaozi in a competition, which is better than anyone else, faster and more exquisite. Only by doing these three things can we be truly outstanding and truly winners. Let's wash the leaves of Zongzi together, and then wash the glutinous rice. After cleaning, we will pour some soy sauce, a little sugar and yellow wine into the glutinous rice, which takes two hours.
When the soy sauce, sugar and yellow rice wine are completely integrated into the glutinous rice, take the leaves of zongzi and fold them into a boat shape, with edges at one end and boundless at the other. Spread a layer of glutinous rice on the side of the "boat" with glutinous rice, and then put the meat. I put a piece of pork belly on the glutinous rice, then put the glutinous rice on the meat, and finally cover the boundless part of the "boat" on it, and then bend the excess part and tie it tightly with thread. Grandma and I wrapped up one love after another, jiaozi.
Finally, we packed up. I counted mine and grandma's, and found that grandma was one less than me. I jumped three feet with sudden joy. Then grandma came up to me and said, "Son, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose the game. The important thing is that you are involved. You can't be proud if you win. Only a calm person can become a real winner. "
Grandma's words are deeply hidden in my heart, which has benefited me a lot.
Zhouji of Dragon Boat Festival 7 Guangxi Zuojiang is the cradle of dragon boat. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, there is a flood called Dragon Boat Water.
When the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, every household wraps cold dumplings, inserts mugwort leaves in front of the door, and puts mothballs in small net bags to hang on the children's chests to ward off evil spirits. Brother and sister need a sip of realgar wine. According to an old legend, people who become snake spirits will show their appearance after drinking realgar wine. The custom of Bao Leng jiaozi is because there was a patriot named Qu Yuan in ancient times who had to throw himself into the river in order to serve his country. In order to protect Qu Yuan's health, people rowed dragon boats and threw cold dumplings into the river to feed fish and shrimp. Year after year, the custom of dragon boat racing was formed.
My family lives on the bank of Zuojiang River. Growing up, I watched the dragon boat race every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. I am used to seeing the vigorous figures of dragon boat paddlers and listening to their brave cries and rhythmic gongs and drums. What people talk about most is that a few years ago, the women's dragon fleet in leading township of our county participated in the Macau International Competition and won the second place.
Dragon Boat Festival is coming. While eating cold zongzi, we are enjoying the wonderful dragon boat race, remembering the patriotic tradition of ancient people with lofty ideals, and determined to be a good student who loves the motherland.
Before the eighth chapter of Dragon Boat Festival Weekly, our family used to eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, but last year I watched the dragon boat race on the computer, which made me remember it vividly. I remember last year's Dragon Boat Festival, I got up early and turned on the live broadcast of the dragon boat race with great interest. On the computer screen, the two sides of the river are already crowded with people. The old people moved out of their armchairs from home and sat quietly waiting. Girls are like attending a grand event. Everyone is wearing neat new clothes and chattering about who will win the game.
Although the young man didn't take part in the dragon boat race himself, he was still enthusiastic and his face was full of joy. The children were even more excited, drilling around in the crowd, and some naughty boys even climbed to the big tree by the river, took a good position and looked down into the river. There are already four most beautiful dragon boats floating in the river. These ships are narrow and long, with red lines painted on their sides. The game finally started in people's expectation. Young skaters are in high spirits, with a pile of red cloth wrapped around their heads and waist, shining in the morning light. When the drums sound, the dragon boat will fly like an arrow on the calm and waveless Tanghe River. People watching dragon boats on both sides of the strait shouted loudly, and some even took out all the gongs and drums at home and knocked and cheered. What's more, young people who do good deeds hang "serial firecrackers" prepared in advance on trees and light them. At that time, shouts, gongs and drums, firecrackers meet in one place and reverberate on the river, which is deafening. The camera magnified the live broadcast a little, and I clearly saw the young radial hand paddling bravely, with uniform movements, solid muscles falling with the movements, and sweat stains on his forehead reflecting the brilliance of the sun. Drummers are even more excited, jumping together with double hammers, eager to let all their strength go up, which makes people worry that the drum will not break. When the game reaches a tense place, it is even more exciting. The two dragon boats went hand in hand, scrambling for each other, and the sound on the shore was drowned for a while. After the tie was broken, there was another cheer, mixed with a few sorry sighs. The live broadcast of the dragon boat is over, but I am still sitting in my chair, thinking about the grand occasion of the race.
I think, isn't the dragon boat activity a test of the spirit of cooperation of unity and mutual assistance between people? If it is used in study, it will be the best. We really want to learn this spirit of dragon boat racing and make a new breakthrough in our study.
Dragon Boat Festival Weekly 9 Dragon Boat Festival is a grand folk festival in China. Zongzi, tea eggs and wormwood are all features of the Dragon Boat Festival.
When I was a child, I was excited about the Dragon Boat Festival one week in advance, because I could eat delicious zongzi. Life at that time was monotonous and bitter, but I couldn't eat anything on holidays. Speaking of zongzi, it is not only delicious, but also fun in the process of making zongzi. Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, my mother takes a pot of glutinous rice the first night, and I wrap it with my mother the next morning. The green leaves of zongzi are wrapped in glutinous rice and jujube to form a triangular zongzi. Wrap it and cook it in a large pot for 3 or 4 hours. After that, my mother soaked jiaozi in two barrels prepared. After cooling, she carefully pushed aside the bamboo leaves and bit the white and tender glutinous rice. At this time, purple dates emerged.
On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, every household sticks mugwort leaves collected from the mountain on the door, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits, and our children just follow suit and don't understand the meaning.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother got up and wrapped colorful silk thread around our wrists and ankles, which she has been carrying ever since. It is said that she can drive away diseases and evil spirits. In fact, in my heart, these colorful silk threads are substitutes for those exquisite bracelets in my heart. Some people also spend some money to buy sachets for their children to carry with them. My mother made it herself with a small piece of cloth, which was stuffed with cotton and herbs. Even so, we are very happy.
Memories of childhood holidays are happy, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than this moment.
Dragon Boat Festival Weekly 10 Today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. For more than 2,000 years, the Dragon Boat Festival has been a multi-ethnic folk festival, and it is a festival for the whole people to keep fit, prevent diseases, ward off evil spirits and drive away drugs, and pray for health. On such a special day, one of the most important activities is making zongzi. I really want to experience this atmosphere, so I asked my grandmother to teach me how to make zongzi.
To make zongzi, you should first wash the leaves and soak them in hot water. Then prepare dates, eggs, meat and so on. For the stuffing, cook the delicious stuffing you like and you can start working. First, fold the long leaves, enclose them, make a nest, put the prepared glutinous rice and japonica rice in the middle, and wrap the edges and corners. Then put jiaozi in rice, knead it into a ball, and finally make the jiaozi wrapped in bamboo leaves into four corners. The kung fu of making zongzi is in the last process. Whether your zongzi is wrapped well depends on whether the four corners are symmetrical or not.
When I first started learning, I always twisted the four corners into a ball, either six corners or a ball. Grandma looked at my "masterpiece" more than once and smiled: "This, can this be called Zongzi? Where did you tie the string? " I'm dizzy! The four corners of emotional zongzi are convenient to hang with thin lines. Why are there no round zongzi in this world? Put the wrapped zongzi into the pot and cook it with high fire. After about 1 hour, simmer for 30 minutes. In the process of cooking zongzi, I am always eager to open the lid to see the situation.
Because the smell of zongzi floated out of the pot, it made my mouth water. The waiting time is always very long. When the steaming zongzi was finally "liberated" from the pot, I danced with joy. Put it in a bowl and peel it off with chopsticks, and you can see the golden and soft "zong meat" inside. Take a bite. It's so delicious that I almost bit off all the chopsticks. This year's Dragon Boat Festival, I learned how to make zongzi and tasted the fruits of labor, which were not sweet.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the east of China like to row dragon boats, decorate lanterns and have colorful trips at night. The scene is touching and interesting. The Miao people in Guizhou hold the Dragon Boat Festival from May 25th to 28th of the lunar calendar to celebrate the success of transplanting rice and wish a bumper harvest. Dai people in Yunnan compete in the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate ancient heroes.
