? As long as I can remember, the Dragon Boat Festival has been very lively. On this day, I got up early and went to break willow branches and moxa sticks with my mother. Stick it in the door frame to ward off evil spirits. Wipe your ears and nose with realgar wine. Colored threads are tied to wrists and ankles, which is said to prevent insects from biting them. The colored thread tied to the hand will be thrown on the roof of the house on July 7, so that the magpie can build a bridge between the cowherd and the weaver girl. Of course, eating zongzi, which is hot and delicious, is my favorite. I can make all kinds of zongzi according to my taste. There is also the dragon boat race. I go to the lake to watch the dragon boat race every year. And the custom of robbing mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If a handsome young man wins the lottery and gets off the dragon boat, a girl will give her wallet to express her heart. These grand occasions and delicious food are not available in other festivals, so the Dragon Boat Festival can become an important festival in China.

There is another legend. Qu Yuan was a poet and politician of Chu during the Warring States Period. One of his songs, Li Sao, has been passed down to this day. He is a representative of China's romantic poets, and he is good at criticizing the society at that time with flowers and trees. After Chu was attacked by Qin, it was said that Qu Yuan, a patriot, was martyred in the river. The day when he threw himself into the river happened to be the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Therefore, the people cherish his loyalty and his contribution to the society at that time, and regard the day of his death as the anniversary of his death. Come to the riverside to pay homage every year. Spread slowly today.
