Today is the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar--Duanwu Festival. It is the day to commemorate Qu Yuan's martyrdom by jumping into Miluo River. In order to prevent the fish and shrimps from eating the meat from Qu Yuan's body. People then wrap glutinous rice in zongzi leaves and throw them into the Miluo River. And people also want to eat rice dumplings, salted duck eggs, hanging calamus and wormwood in front of their homes, but also to drink some of the wine put Xionghuang, people also want to hold a dragon boat race. This is not, our family with grandmother, aunt, uncle, aunt, little cousin to Jiangjin Zhongshan ancient town to watch the dragon boat race.

After more than an hour's long journey, we came to the place where the dragon boat races were held--Jiangjin Zhongshan Ancient Town. Because it rained in the morning, the dragon boat race which was originally in the morning was changed to the afternoon (the afternoon was sunny). Dad saw me very interested in the dragon boat race, will be gushing for me to introduce up: "Dragon boat race is an important activity of the Dragon Boat Festival, very popular in the south of China, it is a traditional Chinese folk water sports and entertainment programs, has been handed down for more than two thousand years, is a multi-person collective paddle race. Dragon boat racing is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan and the rise. The length of the boat is generally 20-30 meters, and there are about 30 people in each boat. There are 26 paddlers, 1 coxswain, 2 drummers, and 1 yeller." I nodded as if I understood.

In the afternoon, we walked out of the inn to the river. The hammocks by the river were hanging over the rocks. In order to block the strong sunlight, blue cloths were hung on top of the balconies of the homes. We walked across the stone bridge and continued on ......

"Wow! Saw the dragon boat!" My cousin called out. "Really!" As you can see, the dragon boats have different colors: bright red, bright yellow, dull black and refreshing blue. It turned out that the colors of the dragon boats followed the paint painted in the colors of the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

As soon as we arrived at the river, the paddlers came out. Drinking, all of them were very strong. And the people in the different dragon boats were wearing different colored undershirts. "Please take your seats!" The referee called out through a megaphone. The paddlers took their seats according to their serial numbers. "1 - 2 - 3! Let's go!"

At once, the drums were beating loudly, and the shouts of the spectators and the athletes' cries merged into one, resounding sound. The competitors rowed the wooden oars backward with great force. Immediately after, the boat slowly moved up gradually, gradually, each boat is faster and faster, as if floating on the water can not see a ripple. Gradually, gradually the red dragon boat slowly overtook the other dragon boats. The black dragon boat is obviously not enough energy, lagging behind the other dragon boats. Ah, only 30 meters left, 25 meters, 20 meters, the red dragon boat is far ahead, the blue dragon boat caught up, the two dragon boats are neck and neck. 10 meters, only 5 meters left! Yikes, the blue dragon boat is in the lead. In the end, I don't have to tell you: the blue dragon boat won. When the blue dragon boat rowers got off the boat, they hugged each other to show their joy. After watching the race, I was reluctant to leave the picturesque Zhongshan Ancient Town.

I think this year's Dragon Boat Festival is the most fun and interesting. Because this Dragon Boat Festival let me appreciate the folk customs.
