Interpretation of China's Diary of Traditional Culture

Bursts of zongzi fragrance enter the festival.

In life, we can feel the traditional culture of China everywhere. We have exquisite folk arts and crafts, such as: paper cutting, ceramics; We have ancient folk arts, such as drama and Chinese painting; We have unique customs, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Lantern Festival and so on. Today, let me introduce you to the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional cultural festival in China.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China, also known as Double Ninth Festival, Duanyang Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a custom of "bathing in Chu Lan on May 5th". On this day, every household eats zongzi, and dragon boat races are held all over the south. On this day, people will hang calamus, sprinkle realgar wine, hang mugwort branches and drink realgar wine to sterilize and prevent diseases. Legend has it that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from Qu Yuan. He was the minister of the King of Chu, and advocated enriching Qiang Bing and uniting against Qin. He was opposed and exiled. In 278 BC, Qin Jun attacked Chu, and Qu Yuan was very angry. After writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he died in the Miluo River. After his death, his body was salvaged and rice balls were thrown. Later, fearing that the rice balls would be swallowed by dragons, they were picked up with column leaves and thrown into the Miluo River, which became today's zongzi.

My family also has the custom of Dragon Boat Festival! Because I want to eat zongzi, my mother wants to make zongzi. First, wrap glutinous rice into a pointed triangle, then put in 3-4 big red dates, wrap them tightly with leaves, and tie colorful ropes to make a zongzi. Mom did it one by one, and the sweat slipped silently. Finally, the zongzi are all ready. Then I started to cook zongzi, which usually takes an hour or two to be fragrant. After the dumplings were cooked, I couldn't wait to open the lid. The smell of zongzi came to my face. I have tasted it. What delicious zongzi! This is the delicious food my mother cooked for me with hard sweat, and I will never forget it. This is my Dragon Boat Festival!

The traditional culture of the motherland is like a treasure house, and I am like a little bee collecting it in this treasure house.
