The Dragon Boat Festival needs to carry forward the feelings of home and country. For many people, the Dragon Boat Festival is a small holiday, but for many people who fight in front-line posts, such as medical workers, community workers, passenger transport workers and sanitation workers, it is still the rhythm of "fighting".
It is their silent persistence and heavy progress that has led to our "Ankang" Dragon Boat Festival. Their behavior itself is an interpretation of the feelings of home and country, and it is also worthy of the feelings of the whole society. On the occasion of the Dragon Boat Festival, I said "hard work" to them, hoping that they would be healthy and smooth.
While eating delicious zongzi, we should also think about how to convey this feeling of home and country during the Dragon Boat Festival. It can be seen that every Dragon Boat Festival, various festivals are organized everywhere-reading Lisao, making zongzi, making sachets, rowing dragon boats and so on. Through these activities, a sense of festival ceremony is built, and people gradually get close to tradition in the process of participation. And culture also consciously participates in it, crossing time and space and flowing to the future.
To make this feeling of home and country lasting, we should not only reproduce the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival in form, but more importantly, resonate with the spiritual core of the Dragon Boat Festival in our hearts. Especially today, we still need to face the challenge of the epidemic and work hard to realize the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. The sincere love for the motherland and the nation carried by the Dragon Boat Festival is enough to condense the majestic power of our constant struggle.
Cultural Connotation of Dragon Boat Festival
Dragon Boat Festival is never just about eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine and racing dragon boats. Hanging calamus, inserting wormwood and wearing sachets are also important contents of the Dragon Boat Festival culture. The ways and means of preventing and controlling epidemic situation today are different from those in ancient times, but the concept of attaching importance to health is undoubtedly similar; Although epidemic prevention and control will bring some inconvenience to life, it is an opportunity to perceive the cultural heritage of the Dragon Boat Festival.
We may not get together to watch the dragon boat race, but we can make zongzi and braid colored ropes with our families. We may not be able to fly far away, but we can tell our children the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival and the story of Qu Yuan. Accompanied by family, with a long cultural history, inherited customs and shared feelings, Dragon Boat Festival can be enjoyed everywhere.
