Because I couldn’t memorize it, the teacher assigned me a lot of homework. One of them was the composition “This is how I spent the Dragon Boat Festival.”

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the most distinctive day in my hometown - the Dragon Boat Festival. Although the Dragon Boat Festival is a very popular and grand festival among the Chinese people, it is celebrated both in southern and northern China. Customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. But I feel that the Dragon Boat Festival in the south is more interesting than the one in the north, with a richer atmosphere and better expression of the characteristics of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a festival designated to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan. Every Dragon Boat Festival, every household will make a kind of "Zhongshan reed dumpling": a round rod-shaped one as thick as an arm, bound with fresh bamboo leaves, with ingredients inside, including salty rice dumplings and sweet rice dumplings. There are various flavors. Sweet rice dumplings include lotus paste, bean paste, chestnut paste, date paste; salty ones are bacon, roast chicken, egg yolk, scallops, mushrooms, mung beans, barbecued pork and other ingredients. The wrapped rice dumplings are cooked in a pot. , when the rice dumplings are cooked, you will smell the faint fragrance of bamboo leaves, and the fragrance is overflowing, permeating the whole kitchen...

Untie the vines, peel off the rice dumpling leaves, and the sweet rice dumplings There is red meat hidden in the rice dumplings, and the white rice meat in the salty rice dumplings is steaming up, exuding a unique steamed brown aroma. The two rice dumplings are placed together on a plate, with two shiny red and white gems on the piston, and the glutinous rice is reflected in the light. The bottom is crystal clear and exudes a tantalizing and rich glutinous rice aroma, which is really helpful! What I love most about sweets is the jujube-like sweet rice dumplings. During the Dragon Boat Festival, my family makes a lot of rice dumplings and always gives them away. Relatives and friends gave us a big bag, a big bag. Others also used their own rice dumplings to give to us as thanks. Therefore, on the Dragon Boat Festival, my family always has endless rice dumplings brought from my aunt and grandma’s house.

I stayed in Shixi for a long time and thought about the Dragon Boat Festival. I looked at the engine in front of the post building. The thunder was rolling when the furrows were beating, and the snow was slightly falling on the beast's head. People rushed together to break through the protrusions, and the birds flew back to the road first. Long Gang didn't believe it, and he really won the championship. This is the "Poetry of the Race" written by Lu Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, which highlights the macroscopic scene of the dragon boat race. However, in my hometown of Guangzhou, there is also the custom of dragon boat racing on the Dragon Boat Festival, commonly known as "Dragon Boat Racing". "Dragon Boat". On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the village will organize a small "Dragon Boat" competition. Strong men from every household must participate, while women stand aside and can only watch. There are five or six narrow and long boats. There was a big dragon head in the boat. More than a dozen people sat together and paddled hard, trying to reach the finish line first. Although it was raining like needles, everyone on the boat was soaked to the skin. I don't know if it's sweat or rain, but it doesn't matter. At this critical moment, winning the game is important... The men who finish rowing the dragon boat will gather in the village's big ancestral hall for a meal at noon. A sumptuous "Dragon Boat Rice" meal, but the women in our village are not allowed to participate, so I don't know what the dishes are because I am a girl.

The "dragon boat" in the village is too childish! Not satisfying at all for me. If you want to watch it, it will be live on TV, an authentic dragon boat race. On the vast river, more than 20 "traditional dragons" participated in the competition. The long dragon boat was filled with big muscular men. In the middle is the drummer, and the people in the front are shouting and cheering, with a powerful and domineering voice. Majestic, shocking... The drizzle is falling, and the river is gushing. Here, the man shows his bravery and strength, which is amazing! In the north, the custom of "dragon boat racing" is not common, because there are not as many rivers in the north as in the south, so only rice dumplings are eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival in the north, which is not as vigorous and lively as in the south. This is the uniqueness of the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown.

Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown, how much joy and joy you gave me! The Dragon Boat Festival rice dumplings are fragrant, the dragon boats are clanging, and good things come in pairs! The Dragon Boat Festival expresses authentic hometown feelings, an ancient tradition, and an admiration and praise for the patriotic spirit of the poet Qu Yuan. Eating authentic hometown rice dumplings and watching the wonderful hometown dragon boat race gave me a special feeling in my heart.

In 2008, another new Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and I greet you with longing, expectation and excitement.

Making Zongzi for the Dragon Boat Festival

More than two thousand years ago, the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan looked up to the sky by the Miluo River and sighed, and threw himself into the rolling rapids. More than two thousand years later, five The fifth day of the lunar month has become a traditional festival - the Dragon Boat Festival. People make rice dumplings, row dragon boats, and boil eggs in various ways to commemorate this great patriotic poet.

It was the Dragon Boat Festival again. I really wanted to experience this atmosphere, so I asked my grandma to teach me how to make rice dumplings.

To make zongzi, first wash the Ruo leaves and soak them in hot water until soft. Then prepare dates, eggs, meat, etc. to make the dumplings, cook your favorite dumplings until they are fragrant, and you are ready to start. First fold the long Ruo leaves and surround them to make a nest. Put the prepared glutinous rice and japonica rice in the middle to wrap up the edges and corners. Then put the dumplings in the rice, knead them together, and finally make the rice dumplings wrapped in Ruo leaves into a four-cornered shape.

All the effort in making the rice dumplings lies in the last step. Whether your rice dumplings are wrapped well or not depends on whether the four corners are well-proportioned and stylish. When I started learning, I always made the four corners crooked, either into six corners or crumpled into a ball.

Grandma looked at my "masterpiece" and laughed more than once: "Here, can this be called a rice dumpling? Where did you tie the thin thread?"

I'm dizzy! The four corners of the emotional rice dumplings are convenient for hanging with thin strings. Why are there no round rice dumplings in this world?

Put the wrapped rice dumplings into the pot and cook over high heat. After about 1 hour, reduce the heat to simmer for 30 minutes.

In the process of cooking rice dumplings, I am always eager to lift the lid to check the situation. Because the aroma of the rice dumplings wafted out of the pot, which made my mouth water.

The waiting time is always very long. When I saw the steaming rice dumplings finally "liberated" from the pot, I danced with joy. Put it in a bowl and peel it open with chopsticks, and you can see the golden and soft "rice dumpling meat" inside. Take a bite and it is so delicious that I almost bite off my chopsticks.

This year’s Dragon Boat Festival, I learned how to make rice dumplings and taste the fruits of my labor. The feeling was not ordinary sweet.

The night of the Dragon Boat Festival

Today is a special day, that is the fifth day of the lunar calendar - the Dragon Boat Festival.

When my father came home from get off work, I hurriedly said to my parents: "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, let's go for a walk in Zhujiajiao! It must be very lively there!" My parents said: "Okay!"... Zhujiajiao is a very famous ancient town. The houses there are different from ordinary houses. The houses there are very old and beautiful...

Zhujiajiao is so lively on the Dragon Boat Festival night! It's almost breathless to walk on the streets of Zhujiajiao. It's so crowded and the streets are full of people and brightly lit. The old ladies are sitting by their shops making delicious rice dumplings. There are many flavors of rice dumplings: egg yolk rice dumplings, meat rice dumplings, and bean paste rice dumplings... There is a stack of green rice dumpling leaves on the left side of the old lady, and a pile of green rice dumpling leaves on the right side. For the pot of meat, the old lady picked up a big rice dumpling leaf and skillfully folded it into a cone shape, then put in half-made glutinous rice with soy sauce, then put in a few strips of meat, and finally wrapped it up quickly and tied it. rope. We bought three rice dumplings. As I walked, I couldn't wait to tear open the rice dumpling leaves and the aroma penetrated into my nose. I took a big bite of the rice dumplings. The taste was fat but not greasy... It was so delicious!

I looked up at the sky and saw colorful flames, red like fire, pink like clouds, white like snow... very beautiful. There are countless small stars twinkling in the sky, like pairs of small eyes blinking, and the shining moon, like a night scene painting...

The night of the Dragon Boat Festival So beautiful!

Today is June 8, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is also the "Dragon Boat Festival". Speaking of "Dragon Boat Festival", I also know that it has several other names! Such as "Dragon Boat Festival", "Girl's Day" and "Poet's Day". Do you know their origin? Let me tell you.

Because on this day, married daughters will return to their parents' homes to visit their parents, so it is named "Daughter's Day"; "Poet's Day" is of course to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan, do you know now?

In the morning, I had breakfast, and my mother and grandma took me out to play. Along the way, I walked in front laughing and jumping, not to mention how happy I was. Somehow, I found that there were many people on the street today, and they all bought branches and held them in their hands. I was very surprised and was about to ask my mother, but I found that my mother and grandma were also holding a bundle of branches in their hands, so I ran over and asked, "Mom, why did you buy the branches? Ah! It smells so good!" My mother smiled and said, "Silly boy, This is 'mugwormwood'. Mugwort branches can repel mosquitoes and flies, and can also ward off evil spirits! Isn't it great that we hang moxa sticks on the doors and windows of our homes?" I nodded.

At noon, our family had hearty and sweet meals. In addition to home-cooked dishes, there were also beautiful triangular rice dumplings, eggs and duck eggs, which were fragrant. I immediately picked up a larger rice dumpling, peeled off the leaves, and ate the white and tender glutinous rice with relish. It was so delicious!

My grandfather told me that eating rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic spirit and noble personality of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. In fact, I already know this, hehe...

This morning, my mother got up early. She went to the vegetable market and bought some rice dumpling leaves, meat, candied dates, and glutinous rice. As soon as my mother got home, she first blanch the zong leaves in boiling water, then put the candied dates, meat and glutinous rice in a pot, then poured some soy sauce into the pot, and then mixed them together, and the filling was ready. After these preparations were completed, mother began to make rice dumplings.

In this way, a The rice dumplings are wrapped. I followed my mother's example and made the rice dumplings. The rice dumplings were wrapped, and my mother immediately put the rice dumplings in the pot to cook. After a while, the rice dumplings were cooked. My mother picked up a rice dumpling, peeled off the leaves, and tasted it carefully. I looked at the expression on my mother's face, I couldn't help laughing.

On this day, people not only eat rice dumplings, but also race dragon boats and insert Ai Qing... These are all customs and habits of the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is said that they are all to commemorate the patriotic hero Qu Yuan.

I had a happy Dragon Boat Festival today.

Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown

There are many festivals around the world, and there are many traditional festivals in China. My hometown, Shaoguan, also celebrates our traditional festivals in its own unique way. Among the many traditional festivals, the Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. The reason is not because of Qu Yuan, not because of anything. Just because I was born on the Dragon Boat Festival.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a very lively festival. Every family makes and eats rice dumplings. This is an inevitable custom during the Dragon Boat Festival. There are various kinds of rice dumplings in many shapes. In rural areas, we also make rice dumplings. Give the schoolbag-shaped ones to your younger brothers and sisters to carry around their waists and take them back to school to eat while walking. There are many flavors, including sweet, salty, fragrant, spicy, and even bitter. However, it seems that because of different places, the taste of rice dumplings made in different places is different. People in each place are basically only used to making their own rice dumplings, and some people are not used to the taste of rice dumplings made in other places. For example, I am not used to it because the fillings are different. I still like to eat homemade rice dumplings.

There is another indispensable activity during the Dragon Boat Festival - dragon boat racing. On the broad river, three or four dragon boats were put down. A dozen people rowed the oars hard, one person sat on the dragon head and played the gong, and another person sat in the boat and played the drum. Everyone shouted "one, two" and "one, two". The formation It is comparable to the stormy waves. The crowds watching on the shore, despite the hot sunshine, still did not forget to cheer for their favorite dragon boats. Looking towards the river again, several dragon boats are like fierce axes breaking through the river, already competing to the death.

Foreign friends picked up their cameras and quickly took pictures of the spectacular scenes, fearing that they would never see such a majestic spectacle again.

During the festive season, I miss my relatives even more, even my stomach is homesick. My heart is filled with relatives, and my stomach is used to thinking about the delicious food at home. No, my stomach is growling again.

Dragon Boat Festival Zongzi

People in rural areas are no stranger to the Dragon Boat Festival, but cities don’t have that flavor anymore.

I remember the Dragon Boat Festival in the countryside in the past. I felt it was very fresh. Not only did I have to make rice dumplings, my grandma would also pick some calamus or other medicinal herbs from somewhere and fold them into the shape of a sword (I felt Much like a sword), hung on the two door gods in front of the gate. I don't know what it is used for, but I heard it can ward off evil spirits and avoid taboos.

There are many kinds of zongzi, including pork brown, jujube brown, bean paste brown, and taro brown. Grandma’s own pickled chili peppers are put into the rice dumplings, which is so fragrant!

What impressed me most was the herbs mentioned above. I heard that herbs can also repel mosquitoes. I was both curious and in awe of it.

Once, I dreamed about ghosts at night. I was frightened in my dream. The guy grabbed me and took me away. As I was flying out the door, two door gods held sharp swords. , cast his magic power and subdued the ghost. And the two swords I saw in my dream looked like calamus.

As I write this, tears well up in my eyes. I am not afraid of that guy, but I am thinking, when did I lose them? It’s really sad to think about it. Nowadays, I am no longer afraid of ghosts, because I have no reason to be afraid of them now, and I don’t have a country heart. Even if there is, it's not something I'm used to in this city. What I fear now is people’s inner ghosts.

But now, the fragrant rice dumplings are gone.

Happy Dragon Boat Festival

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, the annual Dragon Boat Festival is about to meet us again. At this time, people started commemorating activities one after another, such as: "making zongzi, rowing dragon boats, hanging mugwort, wearing sachets, worshiping Qu Yuan, etc." After reading these, you must want to know where I went, haha, I will temporarily Keep it confidential, I will tell you in detail later.

"Oh" I yawned heavily, opened my sleepy eyes, and looked at the calendar. I was stunned. It turns out that today is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother and I made an appointment yesterday to go to Beiliu to visit my grandpa and grandma. After I got up, I found my mother making breakfast, so I hurried over to talk to her.

"Mom, I want to ask you a question."

"Okay, what's the question."

"Can you answer me what holiday is today? "?"

"Well... by the way, today seems to be the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Exactly."

"I also want to ask you a question, can I?

"Yes, ask. "

"Where are you going today? "

"Well... by the way, I went to Beiliu to visit grandpa and grandma. "

"Okay, I promise you. Come on, I'm hungry. ”

“Okay. "

I ran back to the computer room and started to read my Children's Day gift "The Naughty Little Horse Tiao".

After a few minutes, my mother cooked breakfast. I quickly looked at the dining table, and I praised my mother and said, "It's really perfect in terms of color, aroma, and taste!" "After breakfast, I asked my mother: "When are we going? "My mother said: "We will set off on time at ten o'clock! ”

At ten o’clock, after my mother and I had prepared everything, we got on the motorcycle and drove. Suddenly, a pit bounced us up, but fortunately it was not too high. , otherwise our lives would be lost. I looked ahead and found that there were mud puddles everywhere and no flat land at all. My mother and I both complained about why the government didn’t repair this road. It was originally an hour’s journey, and now it’s Twice the distance and wasting a lot of gas

“Finally we’re here. "My mother and I both sighed. I skillfully opened the door of my grandma's house and asked my mother to put the car in.

When I walked into the house and saw my grandma, she hugged me. Grandpa was also very happy and kept asking me if I should eat this or drink that. He was so happy.

But for me, the best taste during the Dragon Boat Festival is eating zongzi. As soon as grandma saw that I wanted zongzi, she immediately brought me a bowl of freshly baked zongzi, and I said, "Thank you." But grandma said: "You're welcome." After I finished eating the zongzi, I thought it was so delicious that I wanted to eat a bowl. Unexpectedly, grandma saw what I was thinking at a glance and brought me another bowl. . After I finished eating, I felt very comfortable and started watching TV with relish.

In the evening, the cool breeze blows. Under the escort of the evening breeze, we are going back to Rong County. Grandpa and grandma said goodbye to me at the door, as if they were reluctant to let me go. We got on the motorcycle and returned to Rong County amid a burst of "goodbye" sounds.

This is the most special Dragon Boat Festival I have ever celebrated, because I have never been so happy
