Hanging mugwort, eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats are the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.When it comes to the Dragon Boat Festival, it is to commemorate a great patriotic poet - Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was from the State of Chu. During his exile, the State of Chu was captured by the State of Qin. He was very sad and threw himself into the Miluo River. The common people were deeply moved and threw rice balls and eggs into the river to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year, these customs have emerged.
This year, our family had a fun and interesting Dragon Boat Festival. Early in the morning, Mom started cooking some eggs, zongzi and mugwort. After we finished eating zongzi, Dad proposed the "egg bumping" game. The one who lost would do housework and the one who won would be rewarded with an ice cream. We all agreed with both hands. The game adopted an elimination format. After a fierce competition, Wang Yuhan won in the end. My father and I drew, and my mother lost. The game is over and we are full. Mom asked us to bring the towels over. I asked, "What are you doing with the towels?" Mother said, "Washing it with mugwort water has the effect of repelling mosquitoes." After getting the car, I felt fresh and clean, with a strong aroma of mugwort.
What a fun and meaningful day today!

The Dragon Boat Festival is here. We gather around zongzi and enjoy them carefully. Some of them have pointed triangles like ox horns, while others are square and have big bellies. They come in all kinds of flavors and might be too numerous to count. I took over a dozen zongzi. The leaves of each zongzi were emerald green and gave off a pleasant fragrance.When I got home, my grandma put the zongzi in the pot and added water to boil them. Before long, steam was rising from the pot. The zongzi was cooked. The green of the bamboo leaves darkened. The fragrance of glutinous rice and bamboo leaves seemed to be scratching my nose vigorously. I couldn't wait to pick up a zongzi, peel off the bamboo leaves, and take a bite. Wow, it was sticky and glutinous. But why celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival? The Dragon Boat Festival is not just about eating zongzi; it is to commemorate Qu Yuan.

There are many traditional festivals in our country. Among them, my favorite is the Dragon Boat Festival.Do you know? Why do people eat zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival? It is said that there was a minister named Qu Yuan in the State of Chu. His ambition was not recognized by the king, so he jumped into the river to show his determination. People were very sad about this. To commemorate Qu Yuan, they made zongzi and threw them into the river, believing that if fish and shrimp ate the zongzi, they would not eat Qu Yuan's body. Therefore, the customs of making zongzi and rowing dragon boats began during the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today, my mother taught me to make zongzi: First, prepare the ingredients, including glutinous rice, bamboo leaves, ropes... Wrap the bamboo leaves into a funnel shape, then put the rice in, followed by the preserved dates, and continue to add rice until the entire "funnel" is full. While wrapping, Mom said that the rice should be pressed tightly, then the bamboo leaves should be covered and wrapped up, and tied up with a rope. After each zongzi was wrapped up, they were all put into the pressure pot and started to be cooked.
The aroma of zongzi wafted over in waves. I was so hungry that my mouth was watering and I couldn't wait to have some. Mother smiled and said, "It's still early!" At least another hour is needed. I thought to myself: I can't wait. I can't wait.
Finally, the whole room was filled with fragrance. It's time to eat zongzi! Put a steaming hot honey date zongzi in your mouth. Ah, it's sweet and sticky. How delicious!

First, I took out the zongzi wrappers and the glutinous rice used for the zongzi from Siming Mountain. Just as I was about to put the white side of the zongzi wrappers facing inwards, my grandma hurriedly said, "The wrappers of our zongzi from Siming Mountain should face outwards!" After saying that, grandma picked up the wrapper of the zongzi and taught me, "Let's do this for now..." Continue like this... I understood and continued to make zongzi. The wrappers of the zongzi should be smoothed out when rolled up, then rolled into a conical shape. Next, I put the glutinous rice into the zongzi and finally tied it up with a string. A perfect zongzi, a specialty of Siming Mountain, was completed by us.
We cooked zongzi again. First, I added a little cold water to the pressure cooker until the water covered the zongzi. Then, I turned on high heat and cooked for half an hour. After that, I simmered it over low heat for one hour. Finally, I let it sit for another hour. The fragrant zongzi were ready! Take a bite. Ah! So fragrant!
I finally made sachets. First, prepare a thick rope, a thin rope, a ball, a bag of mugwort, and a piece of cloth. Then, fold the cloth in half with the reverse side outward and sew a right Angle. Next, turn the inside out and sew a thick rope with a small ball on it. A mini and cute little sachet has been made by me.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year is the traditional Chinese festival - the Dragon Boat Festival.My mother told me the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said to be in memory of Qu Yuan, a great loyal minister of the ancient State of Chu. He died because he threw himself into the river. People went out to search for him but couldn't find his body. So they threw zongzi into the fish to feed them in order not to eat his body. In this way, it gradually became a custom. During the Dragon Boat Festival, people also eat zongzi, race dragon boats and drink realgar wine. Every household hangs mugwort and calamus swords on the Windows. It is said that these things can ward off evil spirits.
Grandma had prepared delicious zongzi several days in advance. When we got up in the morning, there were egg yolk and meat zongzi, honey date zongzi, salted duck eggs, tea eggs and five-spice dried tofu on the dining table. My favorite is egg yolk and meat zongzi. I finished them in just one or two bites. Tea eggs are also my favorite. I ate two in one go.

The Dragon Boat Festival is in the middle of summer, and the weather is clear and people are growing longer. I like the Dragon Boat Festival!My favorite thing during the Dragon Boat Festival is still making zongzi. First, we go to the bamboo grove by the stream to dig some bamboo shoots with bamboo leaves. Then, we peel off the skins and take them home. Next, we boil the bamboo leaves we bring back in plain boiled water. After boiling, we take them out to dry in the sun and then roll them into funnel shapes. Here comes the crucial step. Soak the glutinous rice and various ingredients should be put in it, such as: red beans, red dates, beans or fresh meat... After that, wrap each "little baby" up, tie a belt around it, and then put it in the pot to cook. Look, the bamboo dolls are forming a circle and "taking a sauna"!
"Ready, ready!" Grandma shouted. I couldn't wait to peel off the green coat of a "little Zongzi kid", sprinkle some sugar on it and take a bite. It was so delicious!
During the Dragon Boat Festival, apart from making zongzi to eat, there are also dragon boat races and hanging mugwort...

People eat zongzi, stick mugwort sticks, wear sachets, tie colorful threads and hang gourds. It was so much fun to be busy from the first day of the lunar New Year to the fifth day.On the morning of the first day of the lunar New Year, my mother tied colorful threads for me and put a sachet on me. There are small colorful gourds and brooms hung on the door of the house. It is said that these objects all have five colors. On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar New Year, mugwort is also inserted outside the door. These symbols symbolize warding off evil spirits and protecting the whole family from good fortune and health.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother and I made zongzi. The zongzi made by my mother were both beautiful and delicious. It was so much fun to watch my mother make zongzi, so I pestered her to teach me how to do it too. Mom has no choice but for me to be the instructor for once. Mom held my hand and first folded one end of the bamboo leaf into a small triangular bowl shape. Then she put the glutinous rice and jujubes in it. Next, she covered it with the other end of the bamboo leaf and wrapped it tightly. Finally, she tied it up with a lotus seed. A beautiful zongzi with four corners was completed. My mother and I made a basin of zongzi in no time.
On the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, before the sun rose, my mother had already cooked the zongzi and eggs. The whole room is filled with the rich aroma of zongzi. Colorful gourds are hung on the door and mugwort is inserted outside the door, creating a warm and happy atmosphere. While eating zongzi, I was telling my father and mother the story of Qu Yuan. The sticky zongzi, dipped in a little sugar, is fragrant and sweet, truly intriguing.

At noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, right after we finished eating zongzi, my father took me to Chenghai to watch the dragon boat race. Walking on the way to Chenghai, I suddenly remembered a question - What are the traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival?Dad told me with a smile, "During the Warring States Period, Qu Yuan, a minister of the State of Chu, was very concerned about his country. He earnestly advised the King of Chu to govern the country well and get along well with neighboring countries, but the King of Chu wouldn't listen. He was extremely worried and angry, and threw himself into the river to commit suicide." To commemorate this upright official, the common people of the State of Chu wrapped glutinous rice in bamboo leaves into zongzi and threw them into the river, hoping that the fish would eat the rice instead of Qu Yuan's body. Gradually, eating zongzi has evolved into a traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. After hearing my father's words, I suddenly understood.
It wasn't long before we reached our destination. We saw all the roads leading to the riverbank, and people were surging towards the riverbank like a tide. At this moment, the hour hand pointed to exactly two o 'clock. With a "bang", a gunshot rang out and eighteen dragon boats filed downstream from the upstream. Immediately, the sounds of gongs and drums, firecrackers and cheers formed a magnificent symphony. Come on, come on... The competition reached a crucial moment, and waves of shouts erupted from the crowd: "Come on, Yellow team! Come on, Yellow team..." The shouts. It turned out that the Yellow team was a little behind and its cheerleading squad was cheering it on. The yellow team's. The drumbeats were tighter, the whistles more urgent, and the yellow boat charged forward desperately against the waves. Finally, the Yellow Boat won the championship.
The spirit of unity and hard work of the fleet inspired the vast audience, and the shore was filled with prolonged applause and cheers. Wow, dragon boat racing is so exciting. This is another traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today, I spent a very meaningful traditional festival - the Dragon Boat Festival. I was both happy and gained a lot.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient traditional festival in China, which originated in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods and has a history of more than two thousand years.Qu Yuan was a minister of King Huai of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated for the promotion of virtuous and capable individuals, the enrichment of the country and the strengthening of the military, and strongly advocated for the alliance with Qi to resist Qin. However, he was strongly opposed by Zu Zilan and others. Qu Yuan was slandered and dismissed from his position, driven out of the capital, and exiled to the Yuan and Xiang River basins. In 278 BC, the Qin army captured the capital of the State of Chu. Qu Yuan, seeing his motherland being invaded, felt as if his heart was being torn apart. However, he could never bear to abandon his country. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, after writing his last work, "Huai Sha", he threw himself into the Miluo River with a stone in his arms and died. There are many origins and legends about the Dragon Boat Festival: some commemorate Wu Zixu, some commemorate the filial daughter Cao E, and some commemorate the totem festival of the ancient Moon tribe.
After Qu Yuan's death, the people of the State of Chu were in deep sorrow. A fisherman took out the food prepared for Qu Yuan and threw it into the river with a "plop, plop" sound, saying that he wanted the fish to be full and not come to eat Qu Yuan. Dragon boat racing is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. The people of Chu were reluctant to part with Qu Yuan and rowed boats to chase and rescue him. When chasing to Dongting Lake, there was no trace left.
I've always wanted to ask a question: "Why did I throw the zongzi into the river earlier, but now I'm eating them myself? What's the process like?"

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. Our family of three sat at the dining table and ate zongzi. These zongzi were all sent by the friends and colleagues of my father and mother.Zongzi come in both rectangular and triangular shapes. Inside, there is snow-white glutinous rice, and inside the glutinous rice, there are some red dates, chicken, red beans and other delicious ingredients.
It suddenly occurred to me: How did the Dragon Boat Festival come about? I asked my father, and he said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, a great poet of the State of Chu." At that time, the State of Qin captured the capital of the State of Chu. Qu Yuan was very patriotic. After learning about this, he jumped into the river and killed himself. Later, to commemorate him, every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, people would throw the zongzi in their hands into the river, preventing the fish from eating Qu Yuan's "body but allowing them to eat the zongzi." Father also said that during the Dragon Boat Festival, people would hold other activities such as dragon boat races.
"Oh!" So, if we eat zongzi now, we must be commemorating Qu Yuan, the great poet of the State of Chu. I think.
In the evening, Uncle still invited us to have a late-night snack. Before I could say what to eat, my father said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Let's have zongzi!" I ate so many zongzi today that I'm tired of them.
However, I still had a very happy day today.

Even when sitting in the classroom reading, I still felt that my eyes were particularly bright and I could see every word clearly.After school, I ran home as fast as I could. As soon as I reached the door, I smelled the aroma of zongzi. As soon as I entered, I saw that my father had prepared a table full of delicious dishes just waiting for me to come home and eat.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. Insert mugwort leaves and wear sachets. When eating zongzi, sprinkle some white sugar on them. The dragon boat was launched with great joy. Every time I sing this song, I think of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as the "Five" festival. In my hometown, many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are associated with the number "Five". People tie red, yellow, blue, white and black silk threads around children's necks, wrists or ankles, which are called "longevity threads". Each household should insert the "five tips" : calamus, mugwort, pomegranate flower, garlic, and dragon boat flower. At noon, we can enjoy a feast. On the dining table, there should be the "Five yellowing" : yellow croaker, cucumber, salted duck egg yolk, zongzi wrapped in broad bean paste, and realgar wine. Just looking at them makes one's mouth water.
Every Dragon Boat Festival, parents draw a "king" character on their children's foreheads and have them wear colorful sachets. At that time, people also had to clean their houses thoroughly and sprinkle realgar water in every corner of the house, which could kill poisonous insects.
Dragon boat racing and eating zongzi are the main activities of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that the dragon boat race was held to rescue Qu Yuan, the patriotic poet who died by throwing himself into the river. Throwing zongzi into rivers is to ensure that fish, shrimps and crabs are well-fed and no longer eat Qu Yuan's remains.
This is the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown. I'm looking forward to its arrival.
