Dragon Boat Festival is exciting (Tianxiang, Wen Song)
I hate it when I go to the west, but I'm lonely and black.
Chu people are fond of playing games, and the rivers and lakes win gold medals every year.
Sunlight shines through the window lattice,
Before noon, beautiful images were accompanied by songs.
Yan Qiao holds mud and worships in front of the church.
Golden gulls dance gracefully in the spring breeze.
When the spring breeze comes back,
Jintang Huan during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The children are very happy to get together.
Soft singing, smart words * * * smile.
I like Yan coming to the hall before the Dragon Boat Festival.
Build a golden house with the mud of a clever swallow.
There are endless songs to congratulate (cranes),
Dance dragon boat for today's competition.
Dragon Boat Festival
Dragons have hundreds of strong backs,
A floating arrow left the string.
Who wants to compete for the first place in the waves,
The gongs and drums are deafening.
Dragon Boat Festival II
Lapras's desire to find Qu Yuan,
A glimpse of the river scatters the ribbon of the soul.
If you can understand me,
I'm telling you what I want to say.
Dragon Boat Festival III
Acorus calamus, peach and willow crescent,
Five-color new silk reed Ling Ye.
Who is pulling a thousand feet of snow,
Every sentence in Chu Ci reveals heartfelt feelings.
Dragon Boat Festival IV
Boating water rushes thousands of miles,
The taste of zongzi is bursting with hundreds of flavors.
Now, in honor of the festival,
Qu Zi can know more music groups.
Dragon Boat Festival
The race has been deeply saddened for thousands of years.
Loyal souls can come back when they are gone.
What is the death of the country today?
Leave Li Sao on earth.
Duanyang picking
Jade dumplings attack the thousand races,
Artemisia argyi yellow wine can exorcise evil spirits.
Riding a father and children,
Pink pretty daughter-in-law meets the scenery.
Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, also called Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival and May Festival. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival for the Han people in China to commemorate Qu Yuan. There are also customs of eating zongzi, dragon boat racing, hanging calamus, wormwood, wormwood leaves, smoked atractylodes rhizome, angelica dahurica and drinking realgar wine. "Dragon Boat Festival" is one of the national legal holidays and is listed in the world intangible cultural heritage list.
The origin of the name
The word "Duan" means "the beginning", so "Duan Wu" means "the fifth day". According to the calendar, May is the "noon" month, so the "Dragon Boat Festival" has gradually evolved into the current "Dragon Boat Festival". The Chronicle of Yanjing records: "The fifth day of May is the fifth day of May, and the transliteration of the word is also covered."
According to statistics, the name of Dragon Boat Festival is called the most among all traditional festivals in China, reaching more than 20, which is the festival with the most aliases. For example, there are Dragon Boat Festival, Duanyang Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Noon Festival, Summer Festival, May Festival, Long Festival, Pujie Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival, Quyuan Festival, Bathing Orchid Festival, Noon Day, Daughter's Day, Dila Festival, Poet's Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Noon Day, Lantern Festival and Five Eggs Festival.
To commemorate Qu Yuan
This theory originated from the Peace of Continuation of Qi written by Wu Jun in the Liang Dynasty and the Chronicle of Jingchu in the Southern Dynasty. It is said that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue, and all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan's body was never seen. It was raining at that time, and the boats on the lake gathered at the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that it was to salvage the sage Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on rivers, and later it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. People were afraid that fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home and threw rice balls into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body. Later, eating zongzi became a custom. Eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival seems to be related to commemorating Qu Yuan, as evidenced by Wen Xiu's poem "Dragon Boat Festival" in the Tang Dynasty: "The festival is divided into Dragon Boat Festival, and it is rumored that it is Qu Yuan. It is ridiculous that the Chu River is empty and cannot be washed directly. "
eat Zongzi
"Zongzi is fragrant, and the kitchen is fragrant. Folium Artemisiae Argyi smells fragrant. Peach branches are inserted in the grating, and you can see the wheat yellow when you go out. It's sunny here, sunny there and sunny everywhere. " This is a popular song describing the ancient Dragon Boat Festival. Generally speaking, people all over the world have the same custom of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival. Eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival is the same in China. Now zongzi is more diverse and colorful. Now' Zongzi' is usually wrapped in glutinous rice shells, but the color inside depends on local specialties and customs. The more famous ones are Longan Zongzi, Meat Zongzi, Crystal Zongzi, Lotus Seed Zongzi, Candied Zongzi, Chestnut Zongzi, Spicy Zongzi, Sauerkraut Zongzi, Ham Zongzi, Salted Egg Zongzi and so on.

Poetry of Crossing the River (Don Zhao Lu)
Xi Shi looked at the engine in front of the inn and thought about the Dragon Boat Festival for a long time.
When encouraged, the thunder is weak and the snow is smaller than the animal's head.
The rushing waves highlight people's attention, and the jumping waves compete for the birds to fly back.
Kong Lung didn't believe me, so he won the championship.
Zongzi not only has many shapes and varieties, but also has different tastes in different places, mainly sweet and salty. Sweet dumplings include white dumplings, red bean dumplings, broad bean dumplings, red date dumplings, rose dumplings, melon seeds dumplings, red bean paste lard dumplings, jujube paste lard dumplings and so on. There are pork jiaozi, ham jiaozi, sausage jiaozi, shrimp dumplings, diced pork jiaozi and so on, but pork jiaozi is more common. In addition, there are assorted jiaozi, jiaozi with bean paste and jiaozi with mushrooms. Southern flavor, and a sweet and salty "double dumplings". These zongzi have different tastes, which makes the zongzi family colorful.
In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of Chu State, faced with the pain of national subjugation, was filled with grief and indignation. On May 5, he threw a big stone into Guluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from hurting his health, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into the river to attract fish and shrimp to eat. Later, in order to show respect and memory for Qu Yuan, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into memorial ceremonies on this day, which is the origin of the earliest zongzi in China.
Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is such a record in the Elementary Book: During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed of a man who called himself Dr. San Lv (the official name of Qu Yuan) at night and said to him, "Everything you sacrificed was stolen by the dragon in the river. You can wrap it with mugwort leaves and tie it with colorful silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. " As a result, people made "corn millet" with "corn leaves wrapped inside". From generation to generation, it has gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.
Dragon boat rowing is the biggest mass rally in Qu Yuan's hometown. When gongs and drums rang, the song of evocation was sung. With the call of "My brother is back", people from four towns and villages gathered on both sides of Xiling Gorge to commemorate Qu Yuan with the oldest and most solemn way of rowing dragon boats.
Where does "race" come from? Liang Zongshen of the Southern Dynasties recorded in "Old Things in Jingchu": "On May 5, Qu Yuan threw himself into Miluo Day, which hurt his life and ordered the boat to save him." "Sui Shu and Geography" recorded in more detail: "Qu Yuan went to Miluo in May, and the natives chased him to Dongting, but the lake was too big and the boat was too small to get help, so they sang" How to cross the lake "? Fight for drums, fight for homecoming, fight for pavilions, and pass them on from generation to generation. It was a horse racing drama, and its fast and harmonious songs sounded wildly, shaking the earth and the water. All counties are natural, especially South County. " It can be seen that the dragon boat race in the Sui Dynasty has evolved into a "horse racing show" with a huge audience.
On the Dragon Boat Festival, people in Qu Yuan's hometown mainly watch dragon boats. After breakfast, they dressed in festive costumes, helped the old and brought the young together from all directions to the "Quyuantuo" in Xiling Gorge, and the whole city went out to watch the game. On both sides of Quyuantuo, the Dragon Boat Festival, there are a sea of people, gongs and drums are loud, firecrackers are ringing, and it's very lively. Seven dragon boats flew over the river and tens of thousands of people watched. The spectacular scenes and warm atmosphere are amazing.
Dragon boat rowing is divided into four procedures: swimming in the river, evoking souls, racing and returning to the boat. There is a whole set of gongs, drums and songs, among which horse racing is the most touching, though enthusiastic. In Qu Yuan's hometown, the villagers attach great importance to the dragon boat race and pay special attention to whether they can win it. As the saying goes, "It is better to waste a year's land than lose a year's boat". Winning the bid will not only make the village famous, but also bring a year's harvest and happiness.
In China, dragon boat racing has developed from a mass commemoration to a mass movement. Dragon boat race, as the most representative national entertainment activity, is almost spread all over the north and south of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River Basin. In recent years, it has developed into a competitive sport, holding regular national dragon boat races and gradually spreading to the world. 200 1 The second China Yangtze Three Gorges International Dragon Boat Rally started from Zigui County back to Quyuantuo, 18 Dragon Boat fired the starting gun. You raced in tandem, passing through Xiangxi Town, passing through Kongling Gorge, reaching Bao Zhong Bird, passing through the Three Gorges Project, the world's largest water conservancy hub, from the aqueduct, and reaching Huangbai Shiplock, Gezhouba, Yichang. In recent years, the dragon boat race is in the ascendant, wave after wave, which fully reflects people's enthusiasm for this activity.
