Gansu Tianshui hometown Dragon Boat Festival composition 600 words

Dragon Boat Festival is an old custom in China for more than two thousand years. On this day, every household will make zongzi and insert mugwort leaves on the door. Dragon Boat Festival is coming. I saw Mommy buy reed leaves, candied dates and glutinous rice to prepare zongzi early. I remember when I was a child, when Mommy was wrapping zongzi, I asked, "Mommy, why did you wrap zongzi and put mugwort leaves in the door?" Mommy told me such a story when she was making zongzi.

Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet in the Warring States Period. Qu Yuan, a leftist of Chu State, was well-read and well-rounded, and was deeply trusted by Chu Huaiwang. He often participates in state affairs. Because Doctor Shangguan wanted to please Wang Huai, he often spoke ill of Qu Yuan in front of Wang Huai, which made him alienate Qu Yuan. Unexpectedly, Qu Yuan, who has always been aboveboard and loyal, was slandered by a villain and suspected by Wang Huai, and his heart was filled with infinite resentment. No matter how to persuade Qu Yuan, it didn't help and he was exiled to southern Hunan. Qu Yuan was heartbroken, but he was helpless. On the fifth day of May, he came to Guluo River, grabbed a stone and jumped into Guluo River. Chu people were very sad when they heard the news that Qu Yuan threw himself into the river. They came to the river to salvage Qu Yuan and brought many zongzi and eggs to feed the fish, hoping that the fish would not.
