1. My favorite composition for Dragon Boat Festival is 900 words.
Perhaps the blue sea and the vast reed pond have faded out of my sight, or perhaps the commercial city life has been decadent with my enthusiasm, and festivals have become synonymous with my busy leisure. On the way home, I was inadvertently attracted by the shouts of "fresh zongzi, fresh zongzi". Dragon Boat Festival involves those fragrant memories that suddenly haunt me.
The first time I saw the child next door, holding a zongzi wrapped in reed leaves, showing it off in front of me and gently peeling it off. The smell of glutinous rice mixed with the smell of reed leaves instantly enveloped my desire. I really want to taste what that zongzi tastes like. When I got home, I ignored my mother who was busy by the fire and shouted to myself, "Mom, I want to eat zongzi, too." Mom's back paused for a moment. At the moment of turning around, there was a bright imprint in her eyes along the sweat stains and gently fell into my field of vision: "OK, mom will definitely give you a bag next Dragon Boat Festival." Mother's eyes seemed to be covered with fog, and her voice became difficult. Suddenly, my heart sank and I understood my mother's promise to me.
I really tasted the zongzi wrapped by my mother, but I can't remember which Dragon Boat Festival it was. I only remember that one morning, my mother woke me up and went to pick reed leaves with her. In an instant, I seemed to be able to eat zongzi, which supported me all over the floor. I followed my mother excitedly, hiding in the reed pond, looking for that wide and big reed leaf, but not too old. I was careful not to break it into a pile. Look at mom soaking reed leaves in a pot. Mother just brought out the soaked glutinous rice and washed red dates as if by magic. Our brother and sister gathered around our mother, twittering and urging her to pack up quickly.
My mother sat in the yard, staggered two reed leaves, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice soaked in a basin, and put it in a small groove surrounded by reed leaves with a red date embedded in it. See reed Ye Fei twice, wrapped a angular zongzi. I quickly handed my mother the thin thread prepared by her mother and watched her proudly tie the dumplings, and then the dumplings were wrapped again. In the afternoon, my busy eyes always pass between my mother's hands, weaving too many beautiful things into the most beautiful picture in my memory. The zongzi wrapped by my mother herself has a sweet taste of her mother.
In the fleeting time when growth has gradually drifted away, day after day, year after year of busyness makes the heart lazy and casual, and the memory gradually fades away in the complicated years. But every Dragon Boat Festival, I still go back to my mother, looking for reed leaves, picking glutinous rice, discussing the types of jiaozi, and simmering, or bickering with my sisters and laughing with my mother in the pressure cooker. I have tasted delicious food, and I am no longer attached to the fragrance of zongzi, but I hope that the beauty of the past can constantly awaken my tired and numb heart, so that my grateful heart will always stay in the details of my mother's personal work.

The annual Dragon Boat Festival is here again. As one of the four major festivals in China: Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, Dragon Boat Festival is undoubtedly the hottest festival.
As a solar term before entering the midsummer, the Dragon Boat Festival obviously really feels the midsummer every year. In cities, the three-day holiday of the Dragon Boat Festival may make many people want to go out and find a cool place to relax. In rural areas, the Dragon Boat Festival is really such a lively festival, because in China, which is rich in farming culture, the Dragon Boat Festival represents summer harvest and autumn planting.
In the past, every year when the new wheat came down on the Dragon Boat Festival, many people looked forward to this day because they could eat all kinds of food made by the new wheat. In the past, in the south, the Dragon Boat Festival was another harvest season for grain and rice. The newly harvested rice was ground into rice, and the dumplings were just wrapped the day before the festival, and then I had a delicious meal.
At present, the difference between north and south is not that big. Eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional custom of all people in China.
China people have a long history of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Legend has it that it began to spread as a sacrifice to Qu Yuan who threw himself into the river. On that day, people gave zongzi to each other as a memorial to Qu Yuan.
Zongzi is also the traditional food with the deepest cultural accumulation in China so far.
It is said that as early as the Jin Dynasty, Zongzi was officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food. In this way, the raw material of jiaozi at that time was not only glutinous rice, but also Alpinia oxyphylla, and the boiled jiaozi was called "Education jiaozi". It is recorded in the Records of Yueyang Local Customs written by Jin people: "The custom is to wrap millet with leaves ... cooked and thoroughly cooked. From May 5 to summer solstice, one is zongzi and the other is millet."
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, miscellaneous zongzi appeared in China. Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnuts, red dates, red beans and so on. And there are more and more varieties. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.
In the Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared conical and rhombic. There is a record of "Da Tang Zongzi" in Japanese literature. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a "candied jiaozi", that is, fruits entered jiaozi. The poet Su Dongpo has a poem "See Yangmei in Zongzi". At this time, there were also advertisements for building pavilions and wooden chariots and horses with zongzi, indicating that eating zongzi was very fashionable in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi changed from wild leaves to wild leaves, so 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.
Until this day, at the beginning of May every year, every household in China has to soak glutinous rice, wash the leaves of zongzi, and make zongzi, with more colors and varieties. From the point of view of stuffing, the difference between north and south in China still exists in this way. Beijing jujube is brown, and there are many dates in the north; In the south, there are many kinds of fillings, such as bean paste, fresh meat, eight treasures, ham and egg yolk, among which Zhejiang Jiaxing Zongzi is the representative.
What zongzi are you going to eat this year?
My favorite composition for Dragon Boat Festival is 900 words.
The Dragon Boat Festival in the north is not as strong as dragon boat racing, drinking yellow wine and making zongzi, but in its own unique traditional way, sachets, gourds and mugwort leaves are picked. These are childhood memories, which can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. Parents' good wishes, in the hearts of young children, have a hazy memory of the Dragon Boat Festival.
When I was a child, I seemed to think nothing but fun and curiosity, and I didn't know what such a festival meant to adults.
This festival in May is called May Festival here. In my memory, it has always been a warm, simple and happy festival. Recently, when the first morning glow shone through the glass window, it woke us up from our sleep. This day is May Day. Stretch out your arms and tie colorful ropes around your wrists and ankles. This was prepared by my mother quietly in advance, and it was also quietly tied in our sleep. Multicolored rope is a symbol of happiness in this festival. The washbasin in the yard has been filled with water soaked in mugwort. Washing your face with wormwood water can ward off evil spirits and avoid disasters. The faint bitterness of mugwort leaves pours into your nostrils, refreshing and fragrant. Mother is busy cooking breakfast and boiling poached eggs on May Day, which is the custom of northern festivals. May Festival, this festival should mean good luck, happiness and peace this year.
In fact, the May Festival started from the first day of junior high school. The eggs and goose eggs on the first day should be marked and cooked until the fifth day. Children's wrists and ankles are tied with a red thread, and colorful threads can only be tied until the fifth day. In the next few days, adults should prepare some small gifts, such as sewing a purse, which is very small and looks like a pomegranate. I think it should have special significance. Herbs are filled in purses of various colors, and you can smell a thick fragrance far away with the wind.
The ingenious mother sewed all kinds of trinkets for us with the leftover rags. Our favorite pepper is sewn with red cloth, which is smaller than half of the little finger. And the most exquisite broom made of hemp thread. The broomstick is only the thickness of a toothpick, and it is wrapped with a red line. The broom head is only the size of a fingernail, strung together with a wallet and sewn on the front shoulder or back shoulder of the clothes. It was really a show at that time. I can still think of it now. This is not only a kind of affection, but also an interesting custom unique to the north.
Later, I learned that the May Festival in the south is different from that in the north. In the south, there is a custom of eating zongzi and rowing dragon boats, while in the north, in addition to eating poached eggs and carrying sachets, gourds are also hung on the windows or door beams of the day. Colorful gourds are floating in every household. No one seems to pay attention to what it commemorates. They just continue the custom left by their ancestors to celebrate this festival, just to exorcise evil spirits and avoid disasters for their families and pray for peace and good weather this year.
I think we can still see the scenery now. There are some things that people's minds cannot change. Just like we stubbornly drag the skirt of time and refuse to step into the tunnel of time.

What makes me happy today is that the annual Dragon Boat Festival has come again. As soon as I received my mother's letter, I was extremely happy. Because! This Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite festival.
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival, May Festival, Ai Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Chung Noon Festival, Noon Festival and Summer Festival. Although the names are different, the customs of people everywhere are the same. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is due to Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems, which have been deeply rooted in people's hearts for thousands of years. People "remember it, mourn it, pass on its words to the world and pass it on." In the field of folk culture, China people have since closely linked the dragon boat race and eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival with the commemoration of Qu Yuan. With the growing influence of Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival gradually spread and became a traditional festival of the Chinese nation.
Many people have a question: Why do you eat zongzi and row dragon boats during the Dragon Boat Festival? Here's the thing. A great poet, Qu Yuan, loved his country and gave advice to the emperor. But some people with red eyes think that Qu Yuan is too powerful and nosy, and speak ill of Qu Yuan in front of the emperor every day. Slowly, the emperor believed those absurd lies, deposed Qu Yuan and exiled him to southern Hunan. Qu Yuan's ambition to save the country and the people and his plan to enrich the country and strengthen the people were pushed out by the ministers, and he was mad. When he went to southern Hunan, he often went to Guluo River and sang sad songs while walking. On May 5, 278 BC, he took a big stone and jumped into the river to commit suicide. People nearby learned that everyone was rowing boats to save Qu Yuan, but the sea in Wang Yang was rough and there was no trace of Qu Yuan. Everyone was very sad, so they scattered the rice in the bamboo tube as a gift to Qu Yuan, so that the fish, shrimp, dragons, fish and other animals in the river could fill their stomachs so as not to hurt Qu Yuan's body again. In the second, third and fourth years ... they all are. Later, they changed the bamboo tube filled with rice into zongzi and rowed the boat into a dragon boat.
There are many opinions about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: in memory of Qu Yuan; In memory of Wu Zixu's theory; In memory of Cao E; From the three generations of summer solstice festival; The theory of exorcising evil days on the moon, the theory of national totem sacrifice in wuyue and so on. Each of the above has its own source. According to more than 100 ancient books and archaeological studies by experts listed in Wen Yiduo's Dragon Boat Festival Examination and Dragon Boat Festival History Education, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is a totem festival held by Wuyue people in the ancient south of China, earlier than Qu Yuan. However, for thousands of years, Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so people "cherish it and mourn it, talk about it in the world, and tell it through the ages." Therefore, the theory of commemorating Qu Yuan has the widest and deepest influence and occupies the mainstream position. In the field of folk culture, China people associate dragon boat racing and eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival with commemorating Qu Yuan.
Ah! Dragon Boat Festival has many origins. I like the beauty of the Dragon Boat Festival, the excitement of the Dragon Boat Festival, the zongzi of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and of course the dragon boat race! Do you like Dragon Boat Festival?

In life, we can feel the traditional culture of China everywhere. We have exquisite folk arts and crafts, such as: paper cutting, ceramics; We have ancient folk arts, such as drama and Chinese painting; We have unique customs, such as the Dragon Boat Festival, the Lantern Festival and so on. Today, let me introduce you to the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional cultural festival in China.
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival in China, also known as Double Ninth Festival, Duanyang Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a custom of "bathing in Chu Lan on May 5th". On this day, every household eats zongzi, and dragon boat races are held all over the south. On this day, people will hang calamus, sprinkle realgar wine, hang mugwort branches and drink realgar wine to sterilize and prevent diseases. Legend has it that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from Qu Yuan. He was the minister of the King of Chu, and advocated enriching Qiang Bing and uniting against Qin. He was opposed and exiled. In 278 BC, Qin Jun attacked Chu, and Qu Yuan was very angry. After writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he died in the Miluo River. After his death, his body was salvaged and rice balls were thrown. Later, I was afraid that the rice balls would be swallowed by dragons, so I picked them up with column leaves and threw them into the Miluo River, which became today's zongzi.
My family also has the custom of Dragon Boat Festival! Because I want to eat zongzi, my mother wants to make zongzi. First, wrap glutinous rice into a pointed triangle, then put in 3-4 big red dates, wrap them tightly with leaves, and tie colorful ropes to make a zongzi. Mom did it one by one, and the sweat slipped silently. Finally, the zongzi are all ready. Then I started to cook zongzi, which usually takes an hour or two to be fragrant. After the dumplings were cooked, I couldn't wait to open the lid. The smell of zongzi came to my face. I have tasted it. What delicious zongzi! This is the delicious food my mother cooked for me with hard sweat, and I will never forget it. This is my Dragon Boat Festival!
One day and one night. Then wrap the zongzi into triangles with leaves, and put dates or peanuts at each corner to prevent the rice from overflowing. Jiaozi wrapped it, put it in a cauldron, add eggs and cook it with slow fire all afternoon. Zongzi is ripe, and the fragrance is overflowing when it is boiled. The fragrance of bamboo leaves and zongzi seeped into the eggs, making people want to eat more.
There is also the tradition of Dragon Boat Festival; Use mugwort leaves to repel mosquitoes. In the past, medical care was underdeveloped, and some people with weak health were bitten by mosquitoes and would die. Sticking mugwort leaves on the door can ward off evil spirits. People also tie many colorful brooms on the Dragon Boat Festival. The broom is made of twine. People use various dyes to dye hemp into colorful threads. Tie it into a broom with a length of 1 cm, and then dye some small fruit shells in various colors, with a small hole in the middle. Tie the small shells together with colorful threads and tie them to the children's hands and feet to show good luck.
China folk custom has a long history, not superstition, but traditional custom. We should respect it and protect it. Let the ancient traditional culture become national harmony and contribute to economic development.
