600-word composition of Jianshui Dragon Boat Festival

The Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of Qu Yuan: the patriotic poet Qu Yuan came up with a good idea of enriching the country and strengthening the people, but it was not adopted by the king, but was expelled from the palace. He jumped into the Guluo River in anger. The local fisherman paddled the boat and scattered the rice in the bamboo tube along the Guluo River to Qu Yuan. Later, people changed rice into zongzi with bamboo tubes and rowed boats into dragon boats to commemorate Qu Yuan. People celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. My whole family worships Qu Yuan very much, so we celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

The traditional custom of Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi. So our family has a veritable expert in making zongzi-my mother. So every year on Dragon Boat Festival, our family will eat a lot of zongzi. My mother always said: zongzi wrapped in reed leaves is the most fragrant. So she wrapped zongzi with reed leaves. Before making zongzi, she made preparations: she boiled reed leaves in water, washed the prepared glutinous rice and jujube respectively, and the preparations were done. After the reed leaves cooled, she began to make zongzi. First, she took three leaves, turned them upside down, put them in the middle, rolled them into the shape of a pheasant, put glutinous rice and put some dates in the middle. Finally, she tied the leaves with thread and wrapped a zongzi. She is fat and big, and looks like Lafayette sleeping. When she finishes wrapping zongzi, steam it in a pressure cooker for 40 minutes, then put it for three or four hours, and then she can eat it! Although the raw materials of jiaozi wrapped by my mother are extremely simple, the wrapped jiaozi is delicious. It smells good, and it will arouse your appetite; As long as there is zongzi in front of your table, you will gobble it up. Therefore, whenever I eat zongzi, I always eat a lot, probably because zongzi is too much for my taste! Speaking of my taste, I don't know what my mother's secret is in making zongzi. Every time she makes zongzi, it is always delicious and appetizing, which makes people want to eat a lot.

I love zongzi, Dragon Boat Festival and festive atmosphere!
