300-word observation diary of Qufu traditional culture

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China, which is said to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great loyal minister of the ancient Chu State. He threw himself into the river. Local residents came to the rescue, but they didn't catch it for a long time, so everyone threw zongzi to feed the fish. Gradually become a custom, the Dragon Boat Festival also has the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. According to my father, our custom here is to eat zongzi, drink realgar wine and hang wormwood and calamus swords during the Dragon Boat Festival. I also hung wormwood and calamus swords at the door with my father. I heard they were exorcising.

Grandma is going to make zongzi, so I rushed to see it. Grandma made the dates brown. She prepared the leaves first, then put the glutinous rice into the conical leaves, then put a jujube in the middle of the glutinous rice, and finally wrapped the leaves and tied them tightly on the line. Put the wrapped zongzi into the pot to cook, and I began to wait patiently.

Zongzi is cooked. I took a bite of zongzi, ah! Sweet and soft, delicious! I ate several, and my stomach almost burst!
