The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. Like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, it is widely valued by people all over the country. As for the origin of Dragon Boat Festival, the traditional view is that it is used to commemorate the patriot Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan was a minister of Chu in the Warring States Period, and was exiled because of the coldness of the monarch. When he heard that the country had fallen, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river in anger and helplessness. The people around him loved Qu Yuan very much, so they wrapped delicious brown seeds and wrapped them with gold and silver thread. Take a dragon boat to Miluo River and throw zongzi into the river, so that the fish can eat zongzi instead of Qu Yuan. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival has the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats. After reading this story, I can't help but admire Qu Yuan, and I am more moved by his patriotic spirit. In fact, patriotism is the spiritual pillar to unite the country and the nation at any time and anywhere. Qu Yuan was unwilling to leave his native land where he was born and raised when he was treated unfairly. The greatness of Qu Yuan's spirit lies in his patriotic spirit of worrying about the world and being faithful. Qu Yuan threw himself into the river for the country and the nation, and what he left us is people's eternal memory.
In this book, the National Day of the Eleventh National Day also impressed me deeply. 1949 10/0/day is the day when the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was founded and the whole country celebrated. For this day, in order to strive for national independence and people's freedom and happiness, how many outstanding sons and daughters of China are determined, courageously, and shed their heads and blood, we should always remember them and commemorate them. It is this day that our new China was born, which indicates that people can be masters of their own affairs, and that China has entered a new revolutionary journey, and the motherland will stand in the east of the world with a brand-new look. Therefore, I think that every Chinese should firmly remember this day, because it is the birthday of our mother, the motherland, and we should love it with the most sincere heart, build it with the most industrious hands and develop it with the most intelligent talents.
I will never forget the Double Ninth Festival, which falls on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar every year. The Double Ninth Festival, also known as the Festival for Respecting the Elderly or the Festival for the Elderly, is a traditional folk festival, which inherits and carries forward the fine tradition of respecting and loving the elderly in China. Therefore, on this day, we should respect the elderly and do something to make grandparents happy, such as doing some housework for them, accompanying them to go out to play, giving them performances and so on.
The book "Our Festival" is like a historical picture scroll, and we should constantly pursue its beautiful picture, because it not only makes me increase my knowledge and broaden my horizons, but also makes me deeply understand and appreciate the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, and realize the national spirit of cultivating righteousness, promoting virtue and showing wisdom, as well as the patriotism of boxing. May every festival be deeply engraved in the hearts of every China people, and let the tradition of festivals go back to ancient times.
