The custom of the Dragon Boat Festival constitutes a dragon boat race in the sixth grade of 600 words, which is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. Originated in ancient times, Chu people were reluctant to part with the sage Qu Yuan, and many people rowed after him to save him. They rushed to catch up with each other and disappeared when they reached xx Lake. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. Rowing a dragon boat to disperse the fish in the river so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body.
We are going to eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a traditional custom of China people. Zongzi is officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, jiaozi also added Alpinia oxyphylla, a traditional Chinese medicine. The rice cooked in jiaozi called "Yizhi Zongzi" is doped, such as chestnuts, red dates and red beans. And there are more and more varieties. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.
The famous mugwort and mugwort. Its stems and leaves contain volatile aromatic oils. Its unique fragrance can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. Acorus calamus is a perennial aquatic herb, and its long and narrow leaves also contain volatile aromatic oil, which is a good medicine for refreshing, strengthening bones, eliminating stagnation, killing insects and sterilizing.
It can be seen that the ancients inserted wormwood leaves and calamus to have a certain disease prevention effect. Dragon Boat Festival is also a "health festival" handed down from ancient times. On this day, people sweep the courtyard, hang mugwort leaves, hang calamus, sprinkle realgar wine, drink realgar wine, stir up turbidity, remove rot, sterilize and prevent diseases. These activities also reflect the fine traditions of the Chinese nation.
In the Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared conical and rhombic. The wrapping material of zongzi changed from wild vegetable leaves to wild vegetable leaves, and then zongzi wrapped with reed leaves appeared. Additional materials such as bean paste, pork, pine nuts, dates, walnuts, etc. appeared, and the varieties were more colorful.
To this day, at the beginning of May every year, people in China have to soak glutinous rice, wash zongzi leaves and wrap zongzi, with more varieties of colors. From the perspective of stuffing, there are many dates in the north, such as jiaozi; There are many kinds of fillings in the south, such as red bean paste, fresh meat, ham and egg yolk, among which Zhejiang Jiaxing Zongzi is the representative.
Every time I read these childhood songs, I will think of the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown.
Wuweicao
My hometown is at the foot of Gong Hu Mountain. The vegetation on the mountain is green and the fruit is fragrant; Surrounded by green water below the mountain, the fields are fertile. There are neat red bricks and green tiles beside a lush loquat tree. A quiet and harmonious rural village, this is my hometown, and it is also the hometown of Ke Qian, the top scholar in Ming Dynasty. Every year when the Dragon Boat Festival comes, we will go up the mountain with my sister to pick wormwood and mix it with pomegranate leaves and gardenias. On the fifth day, wormwood will be inserted on the door of every household. It is said that wormwood can cure evil and prevent disasters. Of course, in our opinion, as long as we smell the fresh and strange fragrance of wormwood, it is a happy thing for us, so every year we rush to the mountains to pick a large area of wormwood and a large area of happiness.
Of course, my mother will cook a lot of duck eggs for us with five kinds of herbs. It is said that children don't cough after eating. For us children, we always show off with bags full of duck eggs made of colorful wool by our clever sister. After lunch, my mother will give us a bath with water boiled with five flavors of duck eggs. It's really fragrant and comfortable, and there is no heat rash all summer.
Zongzi and Dragon Boat Race
In our memory, the Dragon Boat Festival gives people the impression of not only playing, but also eating. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we can not only eat delicious duck eggs, but also eat unforgettable zongzi.
Making zongzi is also one of the reserved programs of Dragon Boat Festival. Mom and aunt always buy a lot of zongzi leaves, wash them with less blisters and code them well. The stuffing of zongzi is usually glutinous rice, including mung beans and red dates. , and cooked. Then, after the dexterity and busyness of mom and aunt, our children will circle the steamer like greedy cats, waiting for the time for the zongzi to come out.
When I grew up, I learned that the custom of making zongzi was related to Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in China history. It is said that after Qu Yuan jumped into the Miluo River, the masses made many zongzi and threw them into the water to prevent the fish in the water from biting the poet's body. In this way, the fish will not hurt the poet. So, in order to protect and commemorate this great patriotic poet, there was a more lively dragon boat race later.
There is no dragon boat race in our village, but Huangshi has such a lively and extraordinary scene every year:
By the Mulan River, people gathered around the shore early, gongs and drums were loud and firecrackers were ringing. On the water, several neat dragon boat teams and bright clothes fluttered in the wind, and the boys were eager to try. With the sound of a gong, teams competed with each other, and Qi Xin joined forces to win the first prize. At this moment, drums, firecrackers and people's shouts constitute a lively and extraordinary picture.
The custom composition of Dragon Boat Festival 600 words Six grades Three years Dragon Boat Festival, my parents always take me to my grandmother's house for the holidays. As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of wrapped zongzi on grandma's desk.
Seeing the beautiful jiaozi wrapped by my grandmother, I suddenly felt a new surge of blood and said to my grandmother, "Grandma, shall I help you wrap jiaozi?" Grandma said happily, "Yes, of course."
Do it. I washed my hands and ran to find my grandmother to see how she wrapped it first. I saw several kinds of fillings on the table, including red beans, red dates and my favorite fresh meat stuffing. I couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. I learned from my grandmother's appearance, picked up two zongzi leaves soaked in water and turned them around in my hand. Zongzi leaves become a triangular cylinder. I saw grandma scooped up a spoonful of glutinous rice mixed stuffing with a spoon, then smoothed it out by hand, wrapped the extra zongzi leaves, and finally tied it with a rope, and a beautiful zongzi came out. I also began to put glutinous rice like my grandmother, but I always put a lot. What happened? I was surprised to see my grandmother. She was looking at me and smiling. Grandma said, "Xiao X, look, there is a hole under your zongzi leaf that keeps leaking glutinous rice." As soon as I saw it, the bottom hole was not folded tightly, and some glutinous rice leaked out. Alas, I was so careless that I couldn't help laughing myself. Grandma also taught me how to wrap the leaves tightly, then put the rice in, and finally tie the rope. I made some zongzi according to my grandmother's method. Although the shape of zongzi is very strange, I am very happy, because I finally learned to make zongzi.
After jiaozi wrapped them, Grandma put them in the pot and began to cook. We waited patiently. After a while, the air was filled with the charming fragrance of zongzi. When the zongzi is cooked, I can't wait for my grandmother to take it out of the pot. Although some cracked glutinous rice appeared, it didn't affect its delicious taste at all. I ate a few at once.
Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is one of many customs in our hometown. There are many other customs in my hometown, so I came one by one. May my hometown get better and better!
Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient custom in China for more than 2,000 years. On this day, every household hangs clocks and statues, hangs wormwood and calamus, races dragon boats, eats zongzi, drinks realgar wine, swims all diseases, wears sachets and prepares sacrifices.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, there are many custom activities, such as fetching water for dragons and beards in the morning, putting mugwort leaves at the door, picking green on the mountain, eating zongzi balls, making zongzi and racing dragon boats.
Take water from the dragon in the morning-because it is said that May 5 is the birthday of the dragon, and the water sprayed from the faucet on this day can cure diseases. Therefore, on this morning, people go outside to get water from pits, ditches and streams and put it in their own tanks for the whole family to eat and drink, praying for peace for one year.
Put wormwood at the door-because wormwood can ward off evil spirits, putting wormwood at the door on this day can keep you safe.
Picking green on the mountain-because this day is the time when the dragon looks up and sprays water on the grass on the ground, people pick some herbs on the mountain, such as asparagus, Ophiopogon japonicus, honeysuckle and wild grapes. , more valuable than before. It is also meaningful to let others go up the mountain to pick up green trees and breathe more fresh air of nature.
Eat Zongzi-There is a well-known local proverb called "Don't eat May Zongzi, don't let it go". Broken fur is old cotton-padded clothes. This day is the fifth day of May. Just after the cold of late spring, the earth began to pick up. After this day, in summer, the temperature naturally becomes higher and cotton-padded clothes are no longer worn. Everyone should wrap zongzi with potato powder and yellow branch juice, which means that the cold weather has passed and the warm summer has come after eating.
Eat Zongzi Ball-Zongzi Ball is a kind of food made of mushrooms, peanuts, pork and sweet noodle sauce, both sweet and salty, wrapped in bamboo leaves into a hexagonal fist-sized jiaozi. Its origin comes from the Central Plains. It is a custom food for the people in the water town of Central Plains to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan.
Dragon boat race--memories from qu yuan. Water towns along the Yangtze River organize dragon boat races around the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today, grandma also made zongzi. I took out two leaves of Zongzi, one big and one small, and folded a corner like my grandmother. I put a little soaked glutinous rice on the folded trumpet, stuffed a large piece of fat pork and covered it with glutinous rice. I began to feel a little smug, thinking: Simple jiaozi can't stop my cleverness. However, when I covered the rice leaves again, the glutinous rice did not listen to me like a naughty child and jumped out one by one. I'm running around like an ant on hot bricks. Fortunately, grandma "relieved" me-I dropped some glutinous rice a little bit, and I was relieved, and a heavy stone was put down in my heart. After many twists and turns, I finally reached the last step-tying a brown rope. Zongzi is delicious only if it is tightly wrapped, so I took a brown rope and tied it round and round before giving it to grandma. Only then did I know that wrapping zongzi is a craft, and it is not easy to wrap it.
I feel that people commemorate Qu Yuan's great patriotic spirit through various colorful activities, and the traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival has been formed over time. It contains the deep feelings of the people of the motherland and carries the splendid culture of the Chinese nation. It originated in China and developed in China. We should protect it, pass it on and let people all over the world know that the Dragon Boat Festival is our own festival.
