Quiet moon, has quietly moon quietly climbed the treetops, like a child's innocent face, quietly shining on the leaves, and gently reflected back, the tree embellished, a piece, a little bit, seem very mysterious. Gentle silver light sprinkled on the road, like a mother's hand caressing; she slipped into the heart of the people, like spring melting snow and ice, moisturizing, cold and light.

It's like being in a paradise. Tonight, a person alone cool, just invite the moon as a companion, listen to Chang'e sing, see Chang'e dance; with her thoughts, how lonely, and how intoxicated

Loved ones are in other places, home is far away. I look at the moon, suddenly there is a hint of relief, I received a blessing from afar.
/>The moon is in the clouds, like a child in hide-and-seek, a moment hidden, a moment and out. Watching the clouds slowly pass by the moon, I thought in a daze: Tonight, I will be sleepless, and like you, are silently praying for the distant.
/>Moon, you are tired. Come on! Lie down in my cup, and I will keep vigil for you tonight.

On the street, a brightly colored five-starred red flag was inserted in front of every store. As the breeze blew, a red flag fluttered in the wind, showing the prestige of the Chinese people. I was dazzled by all the stores, but the only thing that stayed the same in every store was the special offers for National Day. Every family celebrated the National Day with firecrackers and songs. />/>
On the way I saw many cars driving around. There were red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, and very nice lanterns, factories and stores with colorful flags hanging in front of them, and there was a lot of activity there, with green lawns and colorful flowers, and people were taking pictures there. I also took one as a souvenir. People's Park is even more beautiful and lively at night, the park entrance is full of cars. />/>
People came here to see the show, and it was very crowded! />/>
While people are laughing, there are people who are more comfortable than we are, who still have injuries and pain, and who still have the belief of revitalizing China in their hearts. They are the patriotic generals who bled and died for the sake of "today" and are the real heroes! National Day, is the motherland's birthday, but also their real meaning of the birthday. />/>
I am very happy with the day, and I will believe that the motherland tomorrow will be even better. />/> Dragon Boat Festival comes from the story of Qu Yuan: patriotic poet Qu Yuan put forward a good idea to be able to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but due to the corruption of the society at that time, his strategy was not only not adopted by the king, but also attacked and ostracized and finally expelled from the capital, exiled from the north of Han Dynasty. Qu Yuan, who was a straightforward man, did not want to settle for anything less than the best, and jumped into the Miluo River to die in defense of justice. The local fisherman knew about this very painful, rowing a small boat to the Miluo River bamboo tube of rice to feed the fish to save Qu Yuan's body. Later, everyone changed the bamboo tube to rice wrapped zongzi, rowing the boat into a dragon boat race, and gradually formed a ritual. After every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month for the Dragon Boat Festival, people eat zongzi, dragon boat to commemorate the great patriotic poet. Our whole family greatly admires Qu Yuan's character and talent. Therefore, our family attaches great importance to the Dragon Boat Festival every year, and we must make dumplings in honor of Qu Yuan./>
/>
The custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi and race dragon boats. There are two shapes of zongzi: one is ox-head zongzi and the other is pointed-tail zongzi. Mom is a good dumpling maker in our family. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, our whole family can eat delicious dumplings. Mom always said, "The rice dumplings wrapped in reed leaves are the most fragrant." So, every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, my mom used reed leaves to wrap the dumplings. Before she wrapped the dumplings, do the preparatory work: put the reed leaves in warm water to soak a bubble, the ready glutinous rice and dates, peanuts, respectively, washed and accompanied together. When the reed leaves cooled down, she began to pack the dumplings. She first took three leaves, the three leaves rolled into a cone, and then first put a grain of date, then put inside the glutinous rice, peanuts, and then clip a few pieces of jujube meat in the middle, wrapped and then tied the grass rope is complete. Mom wrapped dumplings and big and strong, like a baggage, but also like a scale. Mom put them in the pressure cooker steam thirty minutes, and then soaked in soup for about an hour to make it taste, and then you can eat! Mom wrapped dumplings smell, so I drooled, sometimes a mouthful of actually eat several and then shy belly that naive people laugh.

Over the Dragon Boat Festival in addition to eating rice dumplings, but also to race the dragon boat!

I love to watch the dragon boat race, dozens of sailors are holding the paddle coordinated, concerted efforts to paddle forward. The sailors beating the drums were highly demoralized, banging the drums hard, "Go, go, go!" Cheerleaders outside the field
, issued a thunderous shouts, cheers one after another, so that the sailors are more energized and courageous ...... Every year the dragon boat race is a very spectacular scene.

The Dragon Boat Festival to eat rice dumplings, dragon boat races are not only the traditional customs of the Chinese people, but also inherited the traditional culture of China.
/>/> Today is Qingming Festival, a day to pay tribute to deceased relatives. In the morning, I went to the tomb with my parents, on the way, I found that the original traffic streets have become much cleaner, the road pedestrians sparse and hurried, usually everywhere in the cab today is also very little. This can not help but remind me of Du Mu's "Qingming": "Qingming Festival rains one after another, pedestrians on the road want to break their souls, I ask where there is a tavern, the shepherd boy pointed to the apricot village". This year's Qingming is also a drizzle, so that people's mood for no reason more than a few points of sadness. We came to the flower store, saw the usual colorful flower store, today almost all replaced by plain yellow chrysanthemums and white chrysanthemums, we bought a pot of chrysanthemums, then, we ran to our destination.
/>
When we arrived at Longwang Mountain, I faintly heard a string of firecrackers, it turned out to be some grave sweepers put, the drizzle drifted with some grayish-white smoke, as well as grave sweepers to the ancestors after burning offerings floating in the air. After I came to Longwang Mountain, my father brought flowers to the tombstones of my grandmother and grandfather, my aunt lit firecrackers, my grandmother burned offerings, and after lighting candles, we all bowed our heads in worship. I heard some older people not far away talking about their own childhood stories and their parents when they were alive, and from time to time there were a few sighs of regret. Grandpa and Grandma also talked about their own mom and dad when they were alive, and they all said that if they were still alive now, they could live a very happy life.
/>On the way home, I saw a lot of foreign vehicles parked, my mother told me, these are from all directions to come back to pay homage to their ancestors car. Mom also told me about her childhood, mom said: "At that time, the family is not very rich, but, mom always be able to eat some cheap fruit from the hands of your grandmother and grandfather, but also be able to get some pocket money, mom at that time is considered very happy children." Speaking of which, there was something glum about mom. Although I didn't meet my grandmother and grandfather, I wish them a happy and comfortable life in heaven/>/> 5.1 Labor Day finally came I ate breakfast,
Saw my mom was busy. Sweeping and mopping the floor. Exhausted mom sweating profusely. I see really not taste, can not help but go up, "Mom, do you want me to help you do some work ah?" Mom said with a smile on her face, "Yes! Today is Labor Day." First, I began to clean the furniture and glass. I carefully and conscientiously wiped the house from end to end, from top to bottom with a rag, which was covered with dust. I was so exhausted that I was sweating profusely and couldn't catch my breath. But I thought to myself, "Sweeping is supposed to be hard work, but if I can't hold on for even a moment, won't what I just did be for nothing?" You have to finish what you start. So I started sweeping again. I didn't even spare the corners, and finally finished sweeping. On second thought, there were still rooms that I had forgotten to sweep, so I went in, skillfully took the broom, and slowly swept. Just as I was holding the handle of the broom to dig under the bed, I unexpectedly found two dead cockroaches! I could see how dirty my house was. Finally, I filled a bucket of water, washed the mop, twisted the water dry, and began to mop the floor. Holding the heavy mop, I slowly mopped from this side to that side, and then from that side to this side. When the water dried, I rinsed the mop again. When I was done with all the work, I looked at the house again, and it was so different from before the cleaning! />
Mom even praised me for being a good boy when she saw it. />
After this cleaning, I knew: "? To give, you will get something." />/> Time passes like a dream, in the blink of an eye it's August 1 Army Day, remember those soldiers on the battlefield for the motherland fighting for the figure, I am very excited.

Then everyone would answer in unison, "We want to be the People's Liberation Army when we grow up." /> Remember when we were in elementary school, the teacher often said: "Students we want to learn Lei Feng, do good things, when good people." So, we all fight to be the first to do good things: sweeping the floor, for the teacher to help, help classmates to hold the book, to help granny lift the bag ...... /> also remember our elementary school, the Wenchuan earthquake, many many of the People's Liberation Army, overcoming the difficulties of one will be stranded people on out, how great, how selfless.
