There are many festivals all over the world, and there are also many traditional festivals in China. Shaoguan, my hometown, 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 in the Dragon Boat Festival.
Dragon Boat Festival is a very lively festival. It is a custom of every family to make dumplings and eat them. All kinds of zongzi have many shapes. In rural areas, we will also pack a schoolbag for our brothers and sisters to carry around our waist and take it back to school to eat while walking. There are many flavors, sweet, salty, fragrant, spicy and even bitter. However, it seems that jiaozi tastes different because of different places. People in every place are basically used to wrapping jiaozi by themselves, but some people are not used to the taste of wrapping in other places. For example, I'm not used to it, because the stuffing is different. I still like to eat my own jiaozi.
There is also an indispensable activity in the Dragon Boat Festival-rowing a dragon boat. On the wide river, three or four dragon boats were put down, and a dozen people paddled desperately. One sits on the tap and beats gongs, and the other sits on the boat and plays drums. Everyone shouted "one, two" and "one, two" together, which was comparable to the stormy waves. The people on the shore braved the scorching sun and still did not forget to cheer for their favorite dragon boat. Looking at the river again, several dragon boats, like fierce axes, have already been a life-and-death race. Foreign friends have picked up cameras and quickly photographed these spectacular scenes, fearing that they will never see such magnificent scenery again.
Every holiday, 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.

Dragon Boat Festival
I looked forward to the Dragon Boat Festival when I was very young. The tempting zongzi is mouth-watering. The long rice grains are cooked yellow and covered with red bean paste or dates. The rice is a little transparent, but also presents some reddish colors, and the corners of the mouth are stubbornly upturned, which is very cute. The leaves wrapped in zongzi are covered with water and soaked with a little rice fragrance. Bite it down and put it on the zongzi. It smells like rice. Take another bite and you'll see a dark red filling. The stuffing is sweet, and with rice, this kind of sweetness is not greasy; The sweetness of red dates or red bean paste is blended into rice, which also has a special taste.
I often eat a moustache, and my mother laughs at me as a "big-faced cat". I didn't mind, just smiled, licked my rice with my tongue, wiped my mouth with my hand, and went to grandma.
Grandma will look at me with a smile, slowly move to the bed and take out some sachets from the sewing basket beside the pillow. At that time, my grandmother had only one grandson, and I loved her very much, so every year five or six grandmothers made sachets. These sachets are all kinds, but as far as I can remember, nothing seems to be the same. Grandma was very skilled at that time and could make many kinds of tricks. There are deer, tigers, snakes and geckos; And the sun, the moon and the stars; There are also some flowers and hearts. No matter what he does, it seems that something is wrong. Although it is not vivid, it is by no means worse than the one bought by the roadside.
Although I didn't like the smell of sachet very much, it was undoubtedly my best decoration at that time. It's like hype. Aunt looked at me and laughed at me for bragging. I don't care what she said, I still "admire myself" and ran to my mother to play.
Now things have changed. I spent a golden childhood and grew up slowly. My cousin is seven years old and my grandmother has been dead for a long time. The custom of Dragon Boat Festival in our family is only "eating zongzi". Without the blessing of grandma's sachet, I still grow up safely, day after day. But sometimes my heart is empty, the closer I get to the Dragon Boat Festival, the more so.
Miss my dear ornament-grandma's love sachet.
