Composition of making zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival

The annual Dragon Boat Festival is here again. Rowing dragon boats, eating zongzi and hanging wormwood are important activities of the Dragon Boat Festival. As long as it is the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets are more lively, and vendors selling all kinds of things can't wait to shout their voices out. Every household is also busy cleaning the yard, picking wormwood and making zongzi. You can smell zongzi everywhere you go. Of course, my family is no exception. On the Dragon Boat Festival, grandma will take out the materials she bought early to make zongzi, so the whole family will sit around and start making zongzi. At first, I couldn't make dumplings. Grandma taught me by hand. First, take two zongzi leaves and make them look like spoons. Scoop in glutinous rice with a spoon, but the glutinous rice should not be too full. Put some meat or bean paste in the glutinous rice, then wrap the glutinous rice and tie it with a rope. This kind of zongzi is ready, and finally the wrapped zongzi is steamed in a pot. I did it according to grandma's method. The first time, I didn't do very well, but the second time, I made a beautiful zongzi. Then put the zongzi into the pot and steam it. When it is cooked, as soon as the lid is opened, the thick fragrance of zongzi will float out and make your mouth water. It is a happy scene for a family to eat zongzi while watching TV. ...

In the evening, my family went to the river to see the scenery. Looking at it reminds me of the scene of Qu Yuan jumping into the river. I asked my grandmother, "Why do you want to eat zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival?" Grandma smiled and said, "In order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body, people throw zongzi into the river for fish to eat." "Oh, then why the dragon boat race?" My questions seem endless. "Because people are going to look for Qu Yuan's body." Grandma touched my head gently after she finished. Suddenly I feel that my life is so happy now. Living in peacetime, we should cherish it.

Yes, in fact, building a harmonious home is not that difficult. As long as we stay away from smoke and war, people all over the world join hands, leave the dense and prosperous jungle, cherish the boundless blue sea, protect every inch of space, and make the mountains greener, the water clearer and the sky bluer tomorrow, then we will certainly be able to build a beautiful, harmonious and warm home!
