The Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional festival in my country. At that time, people eat moon cakes. That night, when the moon comes out, people I want to admire the moon. At that time, the moon was round and big, just like a big cake.
There are three major legends about the Mid-Autumn Festival: the first legend-Chang'e flying to the moon, the second legend-Wu Gang won the title, and the third legend-Zhu Yuanzhang and the Mooncake Uprising. The Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month. The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival. It is a festival for every family to reunite. Every night on that day, relatives and friends will gather together to have a reunion dinner. Dinner during the Reunion Festival is the reunion dinner. . If someone works in another place and cannot come back for the reunion dinner, then that person must be very sad. Reminds me of a poem by Li Bai: The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. Raise your head to look at the bright moon, lower your head to think about your hometown.
There is also a legend about the Mid-Autumn Festival: It is said that the laurel tree in front of the Guanghan Palace on the moon grows and multiplies, and it is more than 500 feet high. There is a man below who is always cutting it down, but every time it is cut down After that, the cut place immediately closed up again. For thousands of years, this osmanthus tree has been cut down as it goes. This laurel tree will never be cut down. It is said that the man who cut down the tree was named Wu Gang, who was from Xihe in the Han Dynasty. He once followed the immortals to practice and reached the heaven. However, he made a mistake, and the immortals demoted him to the Moon Palace, where he did such futile and hard work every day as punishment. . There is a record in Li Bai's poem "If you want to cut the laurel in the moon, you will hold on to the salary of those who are cold".

Early summer is like a naughty little boy, laughing when talking and crying when talking. The sky was full of sunshine just now, and the fiery red sun was like a huge fireball, shining piercingly on the earth. The people running around were so hot that they were dripping with sweat. After a while, a few dark clouds passed in the sky, and the air was sultry. In the blink of an eye, " It started to rain. The rain is not necessarily heavy, but it is dense and fluttering.
Oh, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming briskly with dancing steps.
Walking through the countryside, every household is busy and laughing. A burst of water vapor spread from the pot, and the mellow fragrance hit your nostrils. Well, it's fragrant and tempting, it's the fragrance of rice dumplings, the strong smell of glutinous rice wrapped in the faint fragrance of rice dumpling leaves.
Arriving at the town, the river filled with water was filled with rhythmic whistles, drums and shouts, and more than a dozen dragon boats were rippling in the blue waves. On the dragon boat, more than a dozen young and strong men waved paddles in their hands, shouted trumpets, and moved forward with all their strength.
As we all know, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival originated from a great poet-Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan is one of China's greatest romantic poets and the earliest known famous poet and great statesman in our country. In his early years, Qu Yuan was trusted by King Huai of Chu and served as Zuotu and Sanlu. He often discussed state affairs with King Huai, participated in the formulation of laws, advocated clarifying laws, appointing talents, reforming politics, and uniting Qi to resist Qin. At the same time, he presides over foreign affairs. He advocated that Chu and Qi should unite and fight against Qin together. With Qu Yuan's efforts, Chu's national strength increased. However, due to his own upright character and the slander and exclusion of others, Qu Yuan was gradually alienated by King Huai of Chu. In 305 BC, Qu Yuan objected to King Chu Huai's signing of the Yellow Thorn Alliance with Qin, but Chu still completely fell into the arms of Qin. As a result, Qu Yuan was also expelled from Yingdu by King Huai of Chu and lived in northern Han Dynasty. During his exile, Qu Yuan felt depressed and began to create literature. His works were filled with his attachment to the Chu land and Chu wind and his enthusiasm for serving the people and the country. His works have gorgeous words, strange imagination, novel metaphors and profound connotations. They have become one of the origins of Chinese literature. He wrote immortal poems such as "Li Sao", "Heavenly Questions" and "Nine Songs", which are concerned about the country and the people, and have unique style. , far-reaching influence (therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is also called the Poet's Day). In 278 BC, the Qin army captured Kyoto, the state of Chu. Seeing his motherland being invaded, Qu Yuan was heartbroken, but he still could not bear to abandon his motherland. On May 5, after writing his final work "Huaisha", he bouldered into the Miluo River and died, risking his own life. Composed a magnificent patriotic movement.
Legend has it that after Qu Yuan died, the people of Chu State were extremely sad and flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. The fishermen rowed their boats and fished for his true body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out the rice balls, eggs and other food prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river "plop, plop", saying that when the fish, lobsters and crabs were full, they would not bite Dr. Qu's body. People followed suit after seeing it. An old doctor took a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying it was to stun dragons and water animals so as not to harm Doctor Qu. Later, for fear that the rice balls would be eaten by dragons, people came up with the idea of ??wrapping the rice with neem leaves and wrapping it with colored silk, which developed into rice dumplings. Since then, on the fifth day of May every year, there has been the custom of rowing dragon boats, eating rice dumplings, and drinking realgar wine to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan.
Although he is somewhat deified, a poet has been worshiped by people for nearly 2,300 years. His poem "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down." For thousands of years It has always been recited by people, which is really admirable.
At the Dragon Boat Festival again, we smelled the fragrance of rice dumplings, saw dragon boats again, and offered sacrifices to Qu Yuan.
