Dragon Boat Festival is based on family ties.

Smelling the fragrance of zongzi, I am so greedy that I can't wait to take a zongzi and peel its leaves. Wow! Covered with meat, mushrooms, shrimp and other condiments, it tastes delicious.

Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month and one of the three traditional folk festivals in China. "Five" means "noon", and the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Dragon Boat Festival", which is also called "Duanjie", "Noon Day" and "Heavy Five".

Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu State. According to legend, on the fifth day of May, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river. People were afraid that Qu Yuan's body would be eaten by a dragon-biting beast, so they rowed into the river to save him. But the river is very urgent, and Qu Yuan has long since disappeared, so people throw rice balls into the river and tie colorful ropes, eggs and other foods outside, so that the dragon water beast can have something to eat without hurting Qu Yuan. Gradually, the custom of rowing dragon boats and making zongzi spread.

I don't remember the previous Dragon Boat Festival, but this year's Dragon Boat Festival, my mother brought a pot of delicious zongzi early in the morning, one by one green. The shapes of zongzi are prismatic, quadrilateral, meat zongzi, eight-treasure zongzi and alkaline zongzi. It looks really good. Smelling the fragrance of zongzi, I am so greedy that I can't wait to take a zongzi and peel its leaves. Wow! It is wrapped in meat, mushrooms, shrimp and other condiments. It must be delicious After eating a zongzi in three or five bites, I brought another one. My mother told me that zongzi is delicious, but you can't eat too much. If I eat too much, I can't digest it well. But it's so delicious, I don't think I can eat enough, hehe ...

Our family ate zongzi and immersed themselves in the festive atmosphere. It feels so warm!
