Song of the Torch Festival, this short article, the fourth paragraph of the natural paragraph wrote a story, wrote the origin of the Torch Festival? Hurry up, this is homework, urgent!!!! "The widest part of the world is the ocean, wider than the ocean is the sky, and wider than the sky is the human heart" said Hugo, a great French writer. Indeed, the human heart is very broad, although not everyone is so, only learn to forgive, know how to forgive people, will have such a heart.

Learning to tolerate others is learning to be kind to yourself. Resentment can only ever let our hearts live in the dark; and tolerance, but can let our hearts get free, get liberated, can make our life become happier. The most should forget is that you have helped people, you should forgive is once hurt you; the most should give up is the merits and faults, fame and fortune, the most need to learn is to forgive others.

Learning to forgive others is the same as learning to treat life well. It allows you to win new friends, new friendships, and at the same time will allow you to have one less enemy, and become a solidifying agent for the integration of human relations. We have to be a peaceful, generous, not grudging people, with a forgiving heart, to forgive, understand the wrong side of every relative, friends.

But tolerance is never tolerance, unprincipled indulgence. In the face of evil, ugly retreat is not tolerance, compassion for the wicked is not tolerance but the loss of good people, tolerance of bullies is oppression of civilians. Tolerance does not mean incompetence, and it is not a sign of weakness. Tolerance of others everywhere, never afraid of things, not in the face of the reality of powerlessness, helplessness, tolerance is precisely a modest indifference, is a person's vision, wisdom, personality and strength of mind embodiment.

Tolerance is the wind of spring, blowing open the frozen earth; tolerance is the summer Yu. Tolerance is a spring wind, blowing away the frozen earth; tolerance is the summer in the rest. dispersed the hot air; tolerance is a touch of gold in the fall; tolerance is the winter sun, warming every inch of the land.

Life needs a forgiving heart, let us learn tolerance to experience the journey of life!

But the devil's fortress could not be attacked for a long time, so it was changed to use the sheep fire attack, that is, in each sheep's horns and hind legs tied with torches, drive the sheep to attack, and the result was victory, people in order to commemorate the victory of this struggle, in the summer calendar every year on the 24th day of the month of June to play the torches to celebrate, and thus the formation of the "Torch Festival". But my sister said: in the lunar calendar on June 24th this day with the torch burned pests, victory over the gods, so the Yi people set this day as the "torch festival", passed from generation to generation.
