When I was a child, I was excited about the Dragon Boat Festival one week in advance, because I could eat delicious zongzi. At that time, life was monotonous and bitter, and I couldn't eat anything at all. Speaking of zongzi, it is not only delicious, but also interesting in the process of making zongzi.
Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, my mother goes to cook a pot of glutinous rice the first night, and I wrap it with my mother the next morning. The green leaves of zongzi are mixed with glutinous rice and jujube to form a triangle. Wrap it and cook it in a big pot for three or four hours. After that, my mother soaked zongzi in two prepared barrels, let it cool, carefully pushed aside the bamboo leaves, bit the white glutinous rice, exposed the purple dates, dipped them in sugar, and then ate them.
On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, every household sticks mugwort leaves collected on the mountain on the door, saying that it is to ward off evil spirits. Our children just follow the trend and don't understand the meaning.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother got up and wrapped colorful silk thread around our wrists and ankles, and will wear it all the time. It is said that we can drive away diseases and evil spirits. In fact, in my heart, these colorful silk threads are substitutes for those exquisite bracelets in my heart. Some people also spend some money to buy sachets for their children to carry with them. My mother made it herself with a small piece of cloth, which was stuffed with cotton and herbs. Even so, we are very happy.
Memories of childhood holidays are happy, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than now.

There are many festivals all over the world, and there are also many traditional festivals in China. Shaoguan, my hometown, also lives our traditional festivals in its unique way. Among many traditional festivals, I like the Dragon Boat Festival best. The reason is not because of Qu Yuan, not because of anything. Just because I was born in the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival is a very lively festival. It is a custom of every family to make dumplings and eat them. All kinds of zongzi have many shapes. In rural areas, we will also pack a schoolbag for our brothers and sisters to carry around our waist and take it back to school to eat while walking. There are many flavors, sweet, salty, fragrant, spicy and even bitter. However, it seems that jiaozi tastes different because of different places. People in every place are basically used to wrapping jiaozi by themselves, but some people are not used to the taste of wrapping in other places. For example, I'm not used to it, because the stuffing is different. I still like to eat my own jiaozi.
There is also an indispensable activity in the Dragon Boat Festival-rowing a dragon boat. On the wide river, three or four dragon boats were put down, and a dozen people paddled desperately. One sits on the tap and beats gongs, and the other sits on the boat and plays drums. Everyone shouted "one, two" and "one, two" together, which was comparable to the stormy waves. The people on the shore braved the scorching sun and still did not forget to cheer for their favorite dragon boat. Looking at the river again, several dragon boats, like fierce axes, have already been a life-and-death race. Foreign friends have picked up cameras and quickly photographed these spectacular scenes, fearing that they will never see such magnificent scenery again.
Every holiday, I miss my family, even my stomach is homesick. I have relatives in my heart and my stomach is used to think about the delicious food at home. No, my stomach is croaking again.

Eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival, eating jiaozi on the Lantern Festival and going to the grave in Tomb-Sweeping Day are traditional cultural customs in China. Every holiday, no matter whether you are a wanderer in a foreign land or a family member close at hand, you should get together for a reunion festival.
The day before the Dragon Boat Festival, we bought a lot of bamboo leaves and soaked them in a pot for making zongzi tomorrow. The next day, I got up early and smelled a smell in the kitchen, which made my mouth water. I went to the kitchen to make zongzi with my grandmother. I first took out some glutinous rice from the pile and put it into a three-dimensional triangle, with a big egg yolk in the middle and a piece of meat at each corner. Then I took the bamboo leaves out of the basin, wrapped them up and tied them tightly with a rope, but I couldn't tie them tightly, but grandma wrapped them skillfully.
Later, I was a little impatient, so I asked my grandmother, why do you want to make zongzi? Grandma said: "Zongzi was made to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet who committed suicide by jumping into the river because of frustration during the Warring States Period. When people knew about it, they went boating and salvaging by the river. Everyone scrambled to save Qu Yuan from going ashore, but they couldn't find his body after searching for a long time. Finally, everyone threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish, shrimps and crabs from eating Qu Yuan's body, so that we can eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival now. " After listening to this story, I was deeply moved, so I wrapped the zongzi carefully and finally succeeded.
China folk custom has a long history, so we should respect it, protect it and make the ancient traditional culture into national harmony.

The first significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, who was born on the seventh day of the first month in Wu Wang calendar of Chu Wei, or was born in the twenty-seventh year and died in the ninth year of King Xiang of Chu. Because of depression, when Qu Yuan was disappointed after his country was captured by Qin, he finally chose the road of committing suicide by throwing himself into the river. In order to celebrate Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit, people designated the day when he threw himself into the river as the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
The second meaning of Dragon Boat Festival is the anniversary of Wu Zixu's death. Wu Zixu, a famous Chu national, and his father and brother were all killed by the King of Chu. Later, Zixu abandoned the dark and went to Wu to help Wu to attack Chu, and entered the capital city of Chu in the Five Wars. At that time, King Chu Ping was already dead. Zixu dug a grave and whipped 300 bodies to avenge his father's murder. After the death of He Lu, the king of Wu, his son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne. Wu Jun's morale was high and he was defeated by Yue. Gou Jian, the King of Yue, made peace, and Fu Cha agreed. Zi Xu suggested the complete elimination of Yue, but Fu Cha didn't listen. Wu was massacred and bought by the state of Yue. He was framed by slanderers. Fu Cha believed him and gave him a sword. Zi Xu died. Zixu, a loyal minister, feels like death. Before he died, he said to his neighbor, "After I die, I will gouge out my eyes and hang them on the east gate of Jason Wu, watching the Vietnamese army enter the city to destroy Wu." Hearing this, Fu Cha was so angry that he took the body of Zixu away, wrapped it in leather and threw it into the river on May 5th. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate Wu Zixu.
The third significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Cao E, the filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who saved her drowning father. Cao E was a native of Shangyu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Her father drowned in the river and didn't see her body for several days. At that time, Cao E, the filial daughter, was only fourteen years old, crying day and night by the river. 17 days later, he also threw himself into the river on May 5, and fished out his father's body five days later. This was handed down as a myth, and later passed to the governor of the county government, and a preface was made for it. His disciple Han Danchun wrote a poem to praise it. The tomb of the filial daughter is in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province today, and there is a monument made by Jin. To commemorate Cao E's filial piety, later generations built Cao E Temple where Cao E threw himself into the river. The village where she lived was renamed Cao E Town, and the place where Cao E died was named Cao E River.
The fourth significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qiu Jin, a modern revolutionary poetess. Qiu Jin was martyred on June 5th. Later generations admired his poems and mourned his heroic deeds. It was held to commemorate the Poets' Day, and the Poets' Day was designated as the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qiu Jin was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang. When she was young, she was good at poetry and lyrics, and she liked riding and fencing. She is called Mulan and Qin Liangyu. Joining the revolution at the age of 28 had a great influence. He planned an uprising and was arrested by the Qing army at the meeting. On June 5, Guangxu died heroically in Xuanhengkou, Shaoxing.
