1, the Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of Qu Yuan: the patriotic poet Qu Yuan came up with a good idea that could enrich the country and strengthen the people, but it was not adopted by the king and he was expelled from the palace instead. Qu Yuan was so angry that he jumped into the Miluo River. When a local fisherman learned about this, he rowed his boat and threw rice from a bamboo tube into the Miluo River for Qu Yuan. Later, people changed the bamboo tube with rice into dumplings and the boat into dragon boat racing to honor Qu Yuan. Our family admires Qu Yuan so much that we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi. Our family has a real good dumpling wrapper - my mom. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. My mom always says that dumplings made of reed leaves are the most fragrant. So, every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, my mom uses the leaves of the reeds to wrap the dumplings. Before she wrapped the dumplings, do the preparatory work: put the reed leaves in the water to boil, the ready glutinous rice and dates were washed. After the leaves of the reeds had cooled down, she began to wrap the dumplings. She first took three leaves, the three leaves rolled into a cone, and then first put a date, then put glutinous rice inside, the middle of the clip a few dates, and finally tied the leaves with a line, a dumpling is wrapped. She wrapped the dumplings and fat and big, like an old Buddha is sleeping. When the dumplings packaged, mom put them in the pressure cooker steamed for forty minutes, and then put three or four hours, so that it tastes, and then you can eat! The dumplings wrapped by my mom are very fragrant, so fragrant that I will eat them with a big mouthful as soon as I see them. So, whenever I eat rice dumplings, I always eat a lot!

Over the Dragon Boat Festival in addition to eating dumplings, but also to race dragon boats!

I love to watch the dragon boat race, dozens of sailors are holding paddles, paddling hard, drumming sailors high morale, banging hard. "Go, go!" Outside the field of cheerleaders passionate, issued a thunderous shouts, cheering, sailors heard had to paddle more vigorously. The whole scene of dragon boat racing was very spectacular and enthusiastic.

Eating rice dumplings, dragon boat racing, these two traditional customs *** with the weaving of a lively Dragon Boat Festival.

2, today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, is a traditional Chinese festival - "Dragon Boat Festival".

This "Dragon Boat Festival" has an origin, legend has it that once upon a time there was a great patriotic poet named Qu Yuan, because of the opposition to compromise, advocating the United Qi anti-Qin, by the Chu state ministers of the fight and framed by the cup of the king and the king of the Haixiang relegation and banishment. After Qu Yuan left Ying, he traveled east along the Yangtze River, walking alone, emaciated in color, wearing his long hair, and living a life of displacement.

He did not know why the world was so confused between black and white, loyalty and treachery, beauty and ugliness. He couldn't help the anger in his heart, so he chanted loudly while lifting up his pen and writing a strange and ancient "Heavenly Question" on the stone wall. He knew that he could not reconcile himself with reality, and finally threw himself into the Buro River, ending his tragic life.

The local people respected and loved Qu Yuan, and fearing that his body would be eaten by fish, they cast a kind of rice wrapped in palm leaves to feed the fish, so that the fish would not eat Qu Yuan. Afterwards, this method was used every year to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Today is the day of commemoration of Qu Yuan, I smelled early in the morning a strong fragrance of brown, so hurry to wash, eager to sit on the dining room table bed side of the flavorful eat up the brown. I thought: Why should a loyal minister like Qu Yuan be banished, and why should he be attacked and framed by bad people? Why don't those treacherous ministers think about whether the country will be annexed by other people, and one day, the country will be planted in their hands; and why doesn't that stupid king know that Qu Yuan is a loyal minister? Though my heart is fighting for Qu Yuan, it doesn't affect my good appetite for brown rice at all.

I want to learn from Qu Yuan in the future, I must be a person who can contribute to the motherland.

3, China's traditional festivals are more, there are Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Spring Festival and so on. Among them, the Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite.

One of the characteristics of Dragon Boat Festival is eating dumplings. Every Dragon Boat Festival, people will eat dumplings, some of them pack their own, and some of them buy them on the street. I like eating dumplings very much. I also heard a story about the origin of zongzi: in ancient times, there was a man named Qu Yuan, who died in battle. People made a transparent coffin and put it into a pool in order to honor him. In order to honor Qu Yuan with some tributes, sugar sticks made of glutinous rice were thrown into the pool one by one. After a few days, people realized that there were fishes in the pond, and all those candy sticks were eaten by the fishes. People were very angry. At this time, a man called out, "Guys, the fish are most afraid of the rhombus, you can use clean grass leaves to wrap the glutinous rice candy sticks and make them rhombus-shaped!" Afterwards, people threw the wrapped candy sticks into the pool, and the fish saw the sticky rice candy sticks and thought they were lozenges, so they didn't dare to eat them. That's why they called the glutinous rice candy sticks "dumplings".

The cooked dumplings are fragrant and delicious. There are mung bean flavored, jujube flavored, sausage flavored, and so on, and these are the three kinds that our family usually wraps. I like all three.

The dumplings and the Dragon Boat Festival are close friends. Because I like eating dumplings, I also like the Dragon Boat Festival.
