The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the most distinctive day in my hometown - the Dragon Boat Festival. Although the Dragon Boat Festival is a very popular and grand festival among the Chinese people, there is a custom of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in both southern and northern China. But I

I feel that the Dragon Boat Festival in the south is more interesting than the one in the north, with a richer atmosphere and better expression of the characteristics of the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival designated to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will make a kind of "

Zhongshan Reedou Zong: A round rod-shaped stick as thick as an arm, tied with fresh bamboo leaves, and filled with ingredients. There are two flavors: salty rice dumplings and sweet rice dumplings. Sweet rice dumplings include lotus paste, bean paste, and chestnut paste.

Zao Ni: The salty ones are bacon, roast chicken, egg yolks, scallops, mushrooms, mung beans, barbecued pork and other ingredients. Put the wrapped rice dumplings in a pot and cook them. When the rice dumplings are cooked, you will smell a faint bamboo leaf.

The fragrance is overflowing, permeating the whole kitchen... Untie the vines and peel off the rice dumpling leaves. There is red meat hidden in the sweet rice dumplings, and the white meat in the salty rice dumplings are rising with steam.

It has a unique steamed brown aroma. The two rice dumplings are put together on a plate, with two shiny red and white gems on the piston. The glutinous rice is crystal clear under the light and exudes a tantalizing and rich glutinous rice aroma. It is great! The most delicious thing.

As someone who loves sweets, my favorite is the sweet maroon-like rice dumplings. During the Dragon Boat Festival, my family makes a lot of rice dumplings, and I always give a big bag to relatives and friends. Others also use their own rice dumplings as a token of gratitude.

Give it to us. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival day, my family always has endless rice dumplings brought from my aunt and grandma’s house. I have lived in Shixi for a long time and thought about the Dragon Boat Festival.

There is a slight snow on the head. The people are rushing through the waves, and the birds are flying back. It's Long Gang who doesn't believe it. Sure enough, he won the championship. This is the "Racing Poetry" written by Lu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, which highlights the dragon boat race.

However, in my hometown of Guangzhou, there is also the custom of dragon boat racing, commonly known as "dragon boat racing". On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, every strong man in the village will organize a small "dragon boat racing" competition.

If you want to participate, the women can only watch. There are five or six narrow, slender boats with a big dragon head in front. More than ten people are sitting together, rowing hard, striving to be the first to arrive.

The finish line. Although it was raining like needles, and everyone on the boat was soaked, it was hard to tell whether it was sweat or rain, but it didn't matter at this critical moment, winning the race was important...

...After rowing the dragon boat, the men will gather in the village's ancestral hall for a sumptuous "dragon boat meal" at noon. However, the women in our village are not allowed to participate, so I don't know what the dishes are.

Clearly, because I am a girl.

The "dragon boat" in the village is too childish!

Not satisfying at all for me.

If you want to watch it, it will be live on TV, an authentic dragon boat race.

On the vast river, more than 20 "traditional dragons" participated in the competition.

The long dragon boat was filled with big muscular men.

In the middle is the drummer, and the people in the front are shouting and cheering, with a powerful and domineering voice.

Majestic, shocking... The drizzle is falling, and the river is gushing.

Here, the man shows his bravery and strength, which is amazing!

In the north, the custom of "dragon boat racing" is not common, because there are not as many rivers in the north as in the south, so only rice dumplings are eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival in the north, which is not as vigorous and lively as in the south.

This is the uniqueness of the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown.

The Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown, how much joy and joy you gave me!

The Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings are fragrant, the dragon boats are clanging, and good things come in pairs!

The Dragon Boat Festival expresses authentic hometown feelings, an ancient tradition, and an admiration and praise for the patriotic spirit of the poet Qu Yuan.

Eating authentic hometown rice dumplings and watching the wonderful hometown dragon boat race gave me a special feeling.

In 2008, another new Dragon Boat Festival is coming. I greet you with longing, expectation and excitement.

Making Zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival More than two thousand years ago, the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan sighed up to the sky by the Miluo River and plunged into the rolling rapids. More than two thousand years later, the fifth day of May has become a traditional festival - Dragon Boat Festival, everyone makes Zongzi.

, dragon boat rowing, boiled eggs, and various ways to commemorate this great patriotic poet.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival again. I really wanted to experience this atmosphere, so I asked my grandma to teach me how to make rice dumplings.

To make zongzi, first wash the Ruo leaves and soak them in hot water until soft.

Then prepare dates, eggs, meat, etc. to make the dumplings, cook your favorite dumplings until they are fragrant, and you are ready to start.

First fold the long Ruo leaves and surround them to make a nest. Put the prepared glutinous rice and japonica rice in the middle to wrap up the edges and corners.

Then put the dumplings in the rice, knead them together, and finally make the rice dumplings wrapped in Ruo leaves into a four-corner shape.

All the effort in making the rice dumplings lies in the last step. Whether your rice dumplings are wrapped well or not depends on whether the four corners are well-proportioned and stylish.

When I first started learning, I always made the four corners crooked, either into six corners or crumpled into a ball.
