China has a long history and a broad and profound culture. China's traditional festivals are full of national characteristics, and the Dragon Boat Festival is one of them.
The Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Duanyang Festival. I heard from people in my hometown that the Dragon Boat Festival has another origin. It is said that in ancient times there was a poet named Qu Yuan who loved his motherland very much. However, the emperor at that time was fatuous and incompetent, which caused the country to fall apart and the people's families to be destroyed. Qu Yuan saw his motherland in such a state, so he was so sad that he threw himself into the river and died. When people heard that Qu Yuan had thrown himself into the river and died, they hurriedly rowed boats into the river to salvage his body, but they could not find it. People were afraid that fish and shrimp would eat Qu Yuan's body, so they scattered glutinous rice into the river. In this way, the fish and shrimps will compete for the glutinous rice instead of eating Qu Yuan's body.
After this story was passed down, people used to make rice dumplings and race dragon boats every year to commemorate this great patriotic poet. Zongzi is made of glutinous rice and sugar. It is fragrant and sweet. I loved it. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother would make a lot of rice dumplings for us to eat, so I look forward to the arrival of the Dragon Boat Festival every day. Dragon boat racing is so fun! In the calm and vast river, several boats or even a dozen rowed together, with a small flag on the bow. There were more than a dozen oarsmen on the boat and a few drummers sitting in the middle of the boat. As soon as the horn is blown, the sound of drums immediately resounds throughout the world. Each paddler holds a short oar and paddles with the sound of the drums. People watching the game on both sides of the Taiwan Strait couldn't help but clapped their hands and cheered, and cheered for the crew. The drum beats are regular, and the drummer knows exactly when the rhythm should be urgent and when it should be gentle. No matter which team wins, the other teams will congratulate them. What a broad mind! Whichever team wins will tie a red cloth strip on the bow of that boat. This small red cloth shows the unity and collective sense of honor of this team. Whenever I see the red cloth hanging on the boat of the winning team and the smiles on the faces of the team members, I will say to my mother: "Mom, I will also learn to row when I grow up, like these adults. Come to the dragon boat race and win the championship!" My mother saw my confident look and said with a happy smile: "Okay, my mother supports you." I was so happy that I wanted to grow up and participate. Dragon boat race, win the championship, let everyone cheer for me.
In addition to making rice dumplings and racing dragon boats, during the Dragon Boat Festival, mugwort is inserted into the cracks in the walls on the left and right sides of the door, meat is eaten for lunch, and drinking realgar wine is also a custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.

"The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." Every time I read this sentence in the long poem "Li Sao", I will think of that sentence. Qu Yuan, a tragic and patriotic poet who drowned himself in the Miluo River after failing to persuade King Huai of Chu.
During the Warring States Period, Zhang Yi proposed that Lian Heng be pro-Qin and wanted to break up the Qi-Chu alliance, so he approached King Chu Huai and promised King Chu Huai six hundred miles to break off diplomatic relations with Qi. Qu Yuan and other officials tried their best to dissuade him, but King Huai of Chu coveted the benefits of the six hundred miles of land, so he broke off relations with King Wei of Qi. As a result, Zhang Yi went back on his word, and King Huai of Chu died of illness in Qin. King Qingxiang of Chu still advocated surrendering to Qin. Qu Yuan was exiled several times, and finally saw that his homeland was hopeless. Thinking of all his experiences, the more he thought about it, the more sad and angry he became. He threw himself into the Miluo River.
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the annual Dragon Boat Festival has arrived again. Every year the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated with great excitement, and this year is no exception. Eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats are indispensable during the Dragon Boat Festival.
When it comes to eating rice dumplings, it’s natural to eat them only if you have the dumplings. My mother is an expert at making zongzi. This year she is going to teach me how to make zongzi. Let’s take you to see it! "Hey, you are wrong here, don't put so much meat." "Hey, hey, hey! Why did you eat the peanuts?" "Ah! Those are vegetable leaves, not rice dumplings."

The competition had just begun, and people were full of strength and paddling rapidly. There was only one dragon boat swimming slowly.

Today is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is our country’s traditional festival - the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother and I bought glutinous rice and rice dumpling leaves and prepared to make rice dumplings ourselves.
I asked my mother curiously: "Why do we make rice dumplings?" My mother told me: "The Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Legend has it that after Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River, people were afraid that his body would be destroyed. When the fish ate, they made rice dumplings with glutinous rice and threw them into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month to let the fish eat the rice dumplings instead of Qu Yuan. Later, making rice dumplings gradually became a folk custom. “Before we knew it, we were back home.
After returning home, I washed my hands and then officially started working! I thought it was quite fun, so I signed up to make rice dumplings. Grandma first gave me a demonstration and guided me to complete one. I thought it was very simple. However, as soon as I left my grandma's guidance and wrapped it by myself, my hands didn't obey me and I couldn't wrap it well. To make zongzi, first wrap the zongzi leaves into a funnel shape, but there is no hole underneath, it is a triangle, then scoop a spoonful of glutinous rice into it. But I can't complete this simple task. I can't wrap it up well, and I can't see the position correctly. It's either too high or too low. Sometimes it seems to be wrapped, but when the glutinous rice goes in, the rice dumpling leaves are wrapped into a veritable funnel. The glutinous rice poured in leaked out one by one. I was a little discouraged, but I didn't give up and kept working hard. I hope that it will be guaranteed suddenly, but the reality is cruel, I still haven't succeeded. I gave up completely and went to watch cartoons. But it would be great to think about eating rice dumplings made by myself later! This thought made me put down the remote control, return to the dining table, and make rice dumplings with my mother. I carefully observed how my grandma wrapped it. After I mastered some skills, I wrapped it myself. I pinched about one-third of the rice dumpling leaves, and then wrapped the lower third. After wrapping, I carefully checked whether the wrapping was tight and whether there were any holes. I scooped a spoonful of glutinous rice and poured it into the rice dumpling leaves, and then used the remaining rice dumpling leaves to wrap a few times around the original shape like folding stars. Finally, it was almost done. I wrapped the rice dumplings tightly with thread and tied a bow playfully. I finally made a rice dumpling! I was so happy. After this first experience, I made rice dumplings much more smoothly later. After a while, a lot of rice dumplings were made. Grandma made the rice dumplings and put them in the pot. You can have delicious rice dumplings for lunch!
At lunch, the rice dumplings finally made their debut! My brother and I rushed to grab the big, fragrant and sweet rice dumplings. . These rice dumplings were exchanged for my sweat. I always feel that the rice dumplings I make myself are a hundred times more delicious than those sold in the mall!

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, the Dragon Boat Festival has finally arrived, and the family is busy making rice dumplings. The morning before, my mother and grandma took out the soaked glutinous rice, washed the rice dumpling leaves, and prepared to make rice dumplings.
I have never made zongzi, so I said to my mother: "My mother, I don't know how to make zongzi. Can you teach me?" My mother said: "Okay, make it." Zongzi is easy to learn, but it’s difficult to wrap at first, so you have to be patient. First, fold the two bamboo leaves into a funnel shape. Pay attention to rolling them as tightly as possible, otherwise the rice will leak out when cooking. "I followed my mother's instructions and folded the zongzi leaves into a funnel.
“Then add glutinous rice, but don’t put it too full.
If you like to eat red rice dumplings, you can put one or two small red dates inside.

Now the rice dumpling becomes a triangular cone, and then wrap the rice dumpling tightly with the remaining rice dumpling leaves." Finally, tie the zongzi tightly with rope or malan leaves. "This step is very critical. It's easy to say but difficult to do. The little zongzi leaves are very "naughty". They just don't listen to me and "trick" me for a long time. When I want to wrap the zongzi tightly, there is always something inside. The rice leaked out and I screamed in anger. Finally, under the guidance of my mother, I finally made a rice dumpling with great effort. Although the shape did not look very beautiful, it was made by me. The best one.
Next, start cooking the rice dumplings. First, place the rice dumplings neatly in the pot, put the pot curtain on top of the rice dumplings, and finally put a basin of water on the pot curtain.
