The Dragon Boat Festival is on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. On this day, people will drink realgar wine, sprinkle realgar wine and make jiaozi. I want to learn how to make zongzi, so I learn how to make zongzi with my mother. I first folded the green reed leaves into triangles, then put the glutinous rice in, then put the bright red dates in, and tied them with ropes. Then put it in a pot and cook it slowly with fire. After cooking, open the lid, and suddenly, a fragrance comes to the nose. Take a bite, it tastes beautiful!
While eating my own dumplings, I listened to my mother's story about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. Because the king of Qin wanted to attack the State of Chu, Qu Yuan's proposal of resisting Qin was opposed by the nobles. He suggested that the king of Chu should remove Qu Yuan from his post. The king of Chu listened to Zilan and exiled Qu Yuan to all parts of Chu. Qu Yuan wrote many books during his exile. Finally jumped into the river and died. In order to commemorate Qu Yuan, the people of Chu have salvaged Qu Yuan's body. A fisherman threw the omelet into the water and said, "In order to prevent fish from eating Qu Yuan's body, I decided to throw the food down." A doctor threw down realgar and said, "I'm getting the fish drunk."
