What is the composition of traditional culture of Dragon Boat Festival?

Dragon Boat Festival is a grand folk festival in China. Zongzi, tea eggs and wormwood are all features of the Dragon Boat Festival.

When I was a child, I was excited about the Dragon Boat Festival one week in advance, because I could eat delicious zongzi. At that time, life was monotonous and bitter, and I couldn't eat anything at all. Speaking of zongzi, it is not only delicious, but also interesting in the process of making zongzi. Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, my mother goes to cook a pot of glutinous rice the first night, and I wrap it with my mother the next morning. The green leaves of zongzi are wrapped with glutinous rice and jujube, and then boiled in a large pot for 3 or 4 hours. After that, my mother soaked the zongzi in two prepared barrels, cooled it, carefully pushed aside the bamboo leaves and bit it on the white and tender glutinous rice, and the purple dates emerged.

On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, every household sticks mugwort leaves collected on the mountain on the door, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits. Our children just follow the trend and don't understand the meaning.

On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother got up and wrapped colorful silk thread around our wrists and ankles, and will wear it all the time. It is said that we can drive away diseases and evil spirits. In fact, in my heart, these colorful silk threads are substitutes for those exquisite bracelets in my heart. Some people also spend some money to buy sachets for their children to carry with them. My mother made it herself with small pieces of cloth, which were stuffed with cotton and herbs, even here.

Memories of childhood holidays are happy, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than now.
