The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. In order to commemorate him, people threw rice dumplings into the river so that the fish and shrimp would be full and no longer let the fish and shrimp eat Qu Yuan's body.

I think the best thing to eat during the Dragon Boat Festival is the fragrant rice dumplings. I remember it was the Dragon Boat Festival of the year. We had just watched the fierce dragon boat race and ran home with smiles on our faces. Once inside. I saw grandma sitting on a chair, making rice dumplings. Grandma made the rice dumplings stuffed with meat, and the green rice dumpling leaves tightly wrapped the white rice inside. Then she put the wrapped rice dumplings on the steamer, and the fragrant smell came out. The rice dumplings are wrapped and it’s finally time to eat! Because today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Dad drank some realgar wine. He smiled and said to me: "Realgar wine can ward off insects. Also, realgar wine can ward off evil spirits, just like the white character in "The Legend of White Snake"..." I interrupted my father and said eagerly: "I know. , I knew that it was Fahai who asked Xu Xian to give Bai Niang a drink, and Bai Niang showed her true form. "After a while, I suddenly found that there were red dishes and yellow dishes on the table. I asked my mother strangely: "Mom, why are the dishes on the table yellow and red?" My mother said earnestly: "Because on the Dragon Boat Festival, we have to eat delicious food. The Dragon Boat Festival is associated with the number "five". So there are "five reds" and "five yellows". Five reds are eel, amaranth, roast duck, lobster and duck eggs. Five yellows are yellow croaker, salted duck egg yolk, soybean dumplings and realgar wine. "Oh! Got it." I said. I thought: "It seems that I have to study hard and know more knowledge in the future!"

After talking so much, I discovered many delicious foods during the Dragon Boat Festival. The Dragon Boat Festival is also popular in Zhuang people. , Buyi, Dong, Tujia, Gelao and other ethnic groups, each ethnic group also has its own different cuisine. Chinese people have their own different cuisines and different festivals.
