Happy Dragon Boat Festival [three articles]

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that this day is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan.

Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and we are going to eat zongzi. Zongzi has all kinds of fillings, including meat, red dates, red beans and sausages ... The shape of Zongzi is also grotesque, with triangles, circles and quadrangles ... No matter what fillings and shapes, it smells delicious and makes people want to eat.

After eating zongzi, we can also watch the dragon boat race. Dragon boat is very powerful. The dragon boat was full of rowers, and the dragon boat race began. When everyone was shouting, the dragon boat moved forward quickly, causing waves. Really like a dragon flying on the water. It's really beautiful.

There are many other customs on the Dragon Boat Festival, such as planting wormwood and eating duck eggs. These are all traditional customs in China, and I like them very much.

On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, grandma decided to make zongzi. Grandma came to the yard with a basket of zongye in one hand and a bucket of soaked glutinous rice in the other. Xiaole was swinging around with a cattail leaf fan when she ran over and asked curiously, "What's this for?" Grandma said, "Zongzi, today is the Dragon Boat Festival." So Xiaole and Grandma each moved a small stool and sat down. Xiaole threw down the cattail leaf fan, took off her shoes, sat on the bench, and dragged her cheeks to watch grandma make zongzi.

Began to wrap zongzi, grandma first picked up a leaf of zongzi and rolled it into a funnel shape, then dug a spoonful of glutinous rice and put it in, then put a newly prepared jujube, leveled it with a spoon, sealed it like a triangle, and tied it with a rope. Jiaozi wrapped it, and Xiaole said, "Grandma, the jiaozi you wrapped is really beautiful! The puppies next to them are shocked! " Grandma said, "I'll pack more beautiful ones." Grandma told Xiaole the story of Qu Yuan while making zongzi. ...

In the evening, it's time to eat zongzi. While eating delicious zongzi, everyone talked about the fun of the Dragon Boat Festival. Finally, after eating zongzi, everyone praised: "Zongzi is really delicious!" "

On March 5th, it was Duanyang. Insert Artemisia argyi and put on the sachet. Eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The dragon boat went into the water happily. Whenever I hear this nursery rhyme, I will think of the lively scene of the Dragon Boat Festival when I was a child.

Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who died in Guluo River. Dragon boat race is not to save Qu Yuan. Zongzi was thrown into the river to make fish, jiaozi, shrimps and crabs full and stop eating Qu Yuan's body. After a long evolution, throwing zongzi into the river gradually became eating zongzi on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

The Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Five", so many customs are related to the number "Five". Tie the five colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black on the child's neck, wrist or ankle, which is called a long-lived jack-o'-lantern. Each family should insert "five ends": Acorus calamus, wormwood, pomegranate flower, garlic and dragon boat flower. In the southern Dragon Boat Festival, you should eat "Huang Wu": yellow croaker, cucumber, salted duck, egg yolk, zongzi wrapped in soybean paste, and drink realgar wine.

Ah, I really like the Dragon Boat Festival!
