composition material for the Dragon Boat Festival 1
When I was a child, I was excited about the Dragon Boat Festival for a week in advance, because I could eat delicious zongzi. At that time, life was monotonous and bitter, and I didn't eat anything on holidays. Speaking of zongzi, it is not only delicious, but also interesting in the process of making zongzi.
Every year, when the Dragon Boat Festival arrives, my mother runs to a pot of glutinous rice on the first night, and the next morning, my mother and I wrap it together. The green leaves of zongzi are added with glutinous rice and jujube to make a triangular-shaped zongzi, which is cooked in a big pot for three or four hours. After that, my mother soaks the zongzi in two prepared buckets. After cooling, she carefully pushes aside the bamboo leaves and bites into the white and tender glutinous rice, and the purple and red jujubes are exposed.
On the eve of Dragon Boat Festival, every family put mugwort collected on the mountain on the door, saying it was to ward off evil spirits. We children just followed suit and didn't understand the meaning.
On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, after getting up, my mother wrapped colorful silk thread around our wrists and ankles, and she has been wearing it all the time. It is said that it can get rid of diseases and evil spirits. In fact, in my heart, these colorful silk threads are substitutes for those exquisite bracelets in my heart. Some people also spend some money to buy sachets for their children to take with them. My mother made them by herself with small pieces of cloth, stuffed with cotton and vanilla. Even so, we are very happy.
It's happy to remember childhood holidays, and the festive atmosphere is stronger than now.

There are many festivals all over the world, and there are many traditional festivals in China. My hometown Shaoguan also lives our traditional festivals in its unique way. Among many traditional festivals, I like the Dragon Boat Festival best. The reason is not because of Qu Yuan, not because of anything. Just because I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a very lively festival. Every family wraps and eats zongzi, which is a certain custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. All kinds of zongzi come in many shapes. In rural areas, we will also wrap a schoolbag for our younger brothers and sisters to carry around and take back to school to eat while walking. There are many flavors, including sweet, salty, fragrant, spicy and even bitter. However, it seems that because of the different places, the dumplings have different flavors. People in each place are basically used to making their own dumplings, but some people are not used to the flavors packaged in other places. For example, I'm not used to it, because the stuffing is different, and I still like to eat my own dumplings.
There is also an indispensable activity in the Dragon Boat Festival-rowing the dragon boat. On the wide river, three or four dragon boats were put down, and more than a dozen people paddled hard. One sat on the dragon's head and struck gongs, while the other sat on the boat and played drums. Everyone shouted "one, two" and "one, two", which was comparable to the stormy waves. The crowd on the shore braved the hot sunshine and still did not forget to cheer for their favorite dragon boat. Looking at the river again, several dragon boats are like fierce axes breaking the river, which has already been a life-and-death race. Foreign friends have picked up their cameras and quickly photographed these spectacular scenes, fearing that they will never see such a magnificent view again.
Every time I miss my family, even my stomach is homesick. I have relatives in my heart, and my stomach is used to think about the delicious food at home. No, my stomach is croaking again.

Eating zongzi in the Dragon Boat Festival, setting off firecrackers in the Spring Festival, eating jiaozi in the Lantern Festival and going to the grave in Tomb-Sweeping Day are traditional Chinese cultural customs. Every holiday, no matter whether you are a wanderer in a foreign land or a family member close at hand, you should get together and have a reunion festival.
On the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, we bought a lot of bamboo leaves, soaked them in a basin, and prepared to make zongzi tomorrow. The next day, I got up early and smelled a burst of fragrance in the kitchen, which made my mouth water, so I went to the kitchen to make zongzi with my grandmother. I first took out some glutinous rice from the pile, put it into a three-dimensional triangle, put a big egg yolk in the middle, and put a piece of meat on each corner. Then I took out bamboo leaves from the basin, wrapped them up, and tied them tightly with a rope, but I couldn't tie them tightly, but my grandmother wrapped them skillfully.
I got a little impatient when I tied it, so I asked my grandmother, why do you want to wrap zongzi? Grandma said: "Zongzi was made to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan who committed suicide by jumping into the river because of frustration during the Warring States Period. When people knew about it, they went to the river to row boats and salvage it. Everyone scrambled to save Qu Yuan from landing, but they couldn't find his body for a long time. Finally, everyone took rice balls and threw them into the river to prevent fish, shrimp and crabs from eating Qu Yuan's body, so they had the Dragon Boat Festival to eat Zongzi now." After listening to this story, I was deeply moved, so I wrapped the zongzi carefully and finally succeeded.
Chinese folk custom has a long history, and we should respect it and protect it, so that the ancient traditional culture can become a national harmony.

The first meaning of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, who was born on the seventh day of the first month in the Wang Wu calendar of Chu Wei, or was born in the twenty-seventh year of Chu Xuanwang, and died in the ninth year of King Xiang of Chu. Due to frustration, when Qu Yuan was disappointed after the country was captured by Qin, he finally chose the road of suicide by throwing himself into the river. In order to celebrate Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit, people designated the day when he threw himself into the river as the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
The second meaning of Dragon Boat Festival is the anniversary of Wu Zixu's death. Wu Zixu, a famous member of the State of Chu, and his father and brother were all killed by the King of Chu. Later, Zixu abandoned the dark and went to the State of Wu to help Wu cut Chu, and entered the city of Ying, the capital of Chu, in the Five Wars. At that time, King Chu Ping was dead, and Zixu dug a grave and whipped 3 corpses to avenge the killing of his father and brother. After the death of Prince Helu of Wu, his son Fu Cha succeeded to the throne. Wu Jun's morale was high, and he was defeated by the state of Yue. The king of Yue Gou Jian asked for peace, and Fu Cha promised it. Zi Xu suggested that the state of Yue should be completely destroyed, but Fu Cha refused to listen. Wu was slaughtered by the state of Yue, and was bribed by the state of Yue. He was framed by slanderers, and Fu Cha believed him, giving him a sword, and Zi Xu died. Zi Xu, a loyal man, regarded death as death. Before he died, he said to his neighbors, "After I die, I will gouge out my eyes and hang them on the east gate of Wujing, so as to watch the Yue army enter the city and destroy Wu." When Fu Cha heard this, he was so angry that he took Zixu's body, put it in leather and threw it into the river on May 5th. Therefore, it is said that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a day to commemorate Wu Zixu.
The third significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the death of Cao E, the filial daughter of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who saved her father from drowning in the river. Cao E was a native of Shangyu in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Her father drowned in the river and didn't see her body for several days. At that time, Cao E, the filial daughter, was only fourteen years old and was crying along the river day and night. Seventeen days later, he also threw himself into the river on May 5, and took out his father's body five days later. This was passed down as a myth, and then passed on to the governor of the county government, and the order was still erected for it, and his disciple Han Danchun made a poem to praise it. The tomb of Cao E, a dutiful daughter, was in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province today, and later Cao E tablet was written by Jin Wangyi. In order to commemorate Cao E's filial piety, later generations built Cao E Temple in the place where Cao E threw himself into the river. The village where she lived was renamed Cao E Town, and the place where Cao E died was named Cao E River.
The fourth significance of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qiu Jin, a modern revolutionary poetess. Qiu Jin was martyred on June 5th. Later generations admired his poems and mourned his brave deeds. It was held in commemoration of the Poets' Day, and the Poets' Day was designated as the Dragon Boat Festival in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qiu Jin was born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. She was good at poetry, ci, song and fu when she was young, and she liked riding and fencing. She was known as Mulan and Qin Liangyu. At the age of 28, he took part in the revolution, which had a great influence. He planned an uprising, was arrested by the Qing army at the meeting, and died bravely in Xuanhengkou, Shaoxing on June 5, Guangxu thirty-three years.
