2 essays about the midterm 2 Dragon Boat Festival

1, Whenever the fragrance of the dumplings began to fill the small village, the childhood me knew that the Dragon Boat Festival was coming.

Nowadays, the memories of the Dragon Boat Festival often come back to me, smelling the fragrance of the rice dumplings, but also smelled the time of childhood, feeling so close, as if those things happened yesterday.

Then, the countryside is particularly important Dragon Boat Festival, I did not know the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, I only know that every year, the family is as grand as the New Year Dragon Boat Festival. Although there was a little bit of legend about honoring Qu Yuan in my childhood mind, I knew nothing about the so-called Wu Zixu's death anniversary, the filial daughter Cao E and other legends.

When I was a child, wearing a scented bag and tying a colorful thread was essential. On the morning of the first day of May in the lunar calendar, before the sun has not come out, the first big thing that adults have to do is to tie the five-color line on the wrists, ankles and necks of the children, tie the line, it is forbidden for children to speak. The colorful threads cannot be broken or thrown away arbitrarily, and can only be thrown into the river during the first heavy summer rain or the first bath. It is said that children wearing the five-color thread can avoid the harm of snakes and scorpions; throwing it into the river means letting the river wash away the plague and diseases, and children can thus preserve their health and well-being.

Duanwu food dumplings is the main custom in our hometown. As soon as May rolls around, the family starts soaking glutinous rice. Mom usually prepares a basket of rice for soaking, and also puts dry reed leaves in the water to soak through to make palm leaves, probably because the soaked glutinous rice will be more sticky, I remember my mom has been doing this for many years.

The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, my mom and my sister worked together to wrap the dumplings and put them in a large water basin. I occasionally mess, try to learn their way, left hand holding the rice dumpling leaves bent over, make a cone, and then the right hand to the funnel to put rice, the rice pressed and smoothed out the palm leaves back over the cover, hold and then use the silk thread tightly tied, the triangle of the dumplings is wrapped. Remember to wrap the silk thread must not be loose, otherwise the rice dumplings will easily fall apart when cooking. You can not underestimate the handy work, because I have made many mistakes, but also by the mother was counted down a number of times.

When wrapping the dumplings, you can also put some peanuts, red beans, jujubes, chicken, etc. mixed in the glutinous rice to make fillings, making different flavors of dumplings. Mom likes to mix dates in the rice for good luck, it is said that small children eat dates dumplings more, future reading will be early in the scholar, I really ate a lot of years. Later on, the scholar did not hit on, learning is on, in my body is quite spiritual it! And I like to eat rice with meat, eat up the aroma and not greasy, and now I think back on it is still particularly greedy!

The morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, adults in addition to cleaning up the house in front of the back of the health but also to prepare breakfast, and we children are considered the busiest. We got up at two or three o'clock in the morning, a group of partners first went to the distant woods to find the plucking of wormwood, and then holding the wormwood to the wheat field to wash his face, dabbing the dewdrops on the wheat leaves in order to luck. On the way, they would break a peach branch with peaches on it and put it at the front door, which the old people said could avoid calamities. And also in the sun out before rushing home, the wormwood hanging in the lintel, inserted in the window, and with the wormwood leaves soaked in a basin of water to wash your face, it is said to have the magic effect of exorcism. We are happy to do, not feel a little tired, is a response to the grand festival it.

Family members in the pot of boiled rice dumplings must be boiled eggs, conditions and then cook some duck eggs, goose eggs, ate sweet rice dumplings dipped in sugar, then eat eggs dipped in salt "pressure top". It is said to eat May rice dumplings pot of hard-boiled eggs in the summer does not give birth to sores; rice dumplings pot of boiled duck eggs, goose eggs placed in the midday sunshine for a while and then eat, the whole summer without a headache. When I was a child, there were few chickens in the house, and in order to let the whole family eat eggs during the holidays, my mother had to save them for a long time, and at that time, it was rare to buy eggs with money. I and my sister will be the same as their own share of the eggs in the coat pocket do not want to eat, but also really can not bear to eat the eggs with the fragrance of dumplings, and had to wait and children after the top and then slowly eliminate.

Memories of the Dragon Boat Festival filled my childhood, although poor, but let me recall.

The Dragon Boat Festival in my childhood was a happy one, and the feeling of happiness seemed to be far away from me, perhaps because I hadn't spent the festival at home so happily and casually for many years!

And now far from home, I will still get up early every Dragon Boat Festival, although I can't find the traces of wormwood, but can only touch the peach branches, walking in the street, feel the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival.

2, the Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of Qu Yuan: patriotic poet Qu Yuan put forward a good idea to be able to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but due to the corruption of the society at that time, his strategy was not only not adopted by the king, but also attacked and ostracized and finally expelled from the capital city, living in the north of Han Dynasty. Qu Yuan, who was a straightforward man, did not want to settle for anything less than the best, and jumped into the Miluo River to die in defense of justice. The local fisherman knew about this very painful, rowing a small boat to the Miluo River bamboo tube of rice to feed the fish to save Qu Yuan's body. Later, everyone changed the bamboo tube to rice wrapped zongzi, rowing the boat into a dragon boat race, and gradually formed a ritual. After every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month for the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi, dragon boat to commemorate the great patriotic poet. Our whole family greatly admires Qu Yuan's character and talent. Therefore, our family attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and we must make dumplings in honor of Qu Yuan.

The custom of Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi and race dragon boats. There are two shapes of zongzi: one is the ox-head zongzi and the other is the pointed-tail zongzi. Mom is the best dumpling maker in our family. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Mom always said, "The rice dumplings wrapped in reed leaves are the most fragrant." So, every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, my mom used reed leaves to wrap the dumplings. Before she wrapped the dumplings, do the preparatory work: put the reed leaves in warm water to soak a bubble, the ready glutinous rice and dates, peanuts, respectively, washed and accompanied together. When the reed leaves cooled down, she began to pack the dumplings. She first took three leaves, the three leaves rolled into a cone, and then put a grain of date, then put glutinous rice inside, peanuts, and then clip a few slices of jujube meat in the middle, wrapped and then tied the grass rope is complete. Mom wrapped dumplings and big and strong, like a baggage, but also like a scale. Mom put them in the pressure cooker steam thirty minutes, and then soaked in soup for about an hour to make it taste, and then you can eat! Mom wrapped dumplings smell, let me drool, sometimes a mouthful of actually eat several and then shy belly that naive people laugh.

In addition to eating rice dumplings at the Dragon Boat Festival, there are also dragon boat races!

I like to see the dragon boat race, dozens of sailors are holding the paddle coordinated, concerted efforts to paddle forward. The drums of the sailors high morale, hard drumming, "Come on, come on!" Cheerleaders outside the field , issued a thunderous shouts, cheers one after another, so that the sailors are more energized, and courageous ...... every year the dragon boat race scene is very spectacular.

The Dragon Boat Festival to eat zongzi, dragon boat racing is not only the traditional customs of the Chinese people, but also the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture.

3. More than two thousand years ago, the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed at the side of the Buro River and threw himself into the rolling rapids. More than two thousand years later, the fifth day of the fifth of May has become a traditional festival - the Dragon Boat Festival, where everyone wraps rice dumplings, rows a dragon boat, cooks eggs, and commemorates the great patriotic poet in all kinds of ways.

The Dragon Boat Festival is another year, and I would like to experience this atmosphere, so I asked my grandmother to teach me how to make rice dumplings.

Wrapping zongzi, first of all, to the Ruo leaf clean, in the hot water soaking soft. And then prepare dates, eggs, meat, etc. to make traps, will be their favorite traps to cook fragrant, you can start. First, fold the long Ruo leaves, round to make a nest, the center into the mix of glutinous rice and japonica rice, wrapped out the corners. Then put the trap in the rice, and kneaded together, and finally the Ruo leaf wrapped dumplings into the shape of four corners.

This package of rice dumplings is all in the last process, your dumplings package is good or not, depends on the four corners is not proportional, is not the shape. When I started to learn, I always made the four corners crooked, either into six corners or into a ball.

More than once, my grandmother looked at my "masterpiece" and laughed: "This, this can be called dumplings? What are you tying the thin threads to?"

I dizzy! The four corners of the dumplings are conveniently tied with thin threads to hang them up, how come there are no round dumplings in this world?

Packed rice dumplings into the pot with a fierce fire to cook, about 1 hour, then change the fire can be cooked for 30 minutes.

During the cooking process, I was always anxious to remove the lid to check the situation. Because the aroma of the rice dumplings wafting out of the pot made my mouth water.

Waiting time is always particularly long, to see the steaming rice dumplings from the pot finally "liberated" out of the time, I was happy to dance. Put in a bowl, use chopsticks to peel, you can see the inside of the golden soft "dumpling meat", bite, delicious, I almost even chopsticks to bite down.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, I learned to pack dumplings, tasting the fruit of their own labor, that feeling is not generally sweet.
