Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Festival

Yu Wencai

The Dragon Boat Festival is finally here. The Dragon Boat Festival is a national traditional festival in China. On this day, every family has to pack a donkey, eat a donkey, catch a blessing, and have a wonderful dragon boat race!

Early in the morning, I was busy with my mother. My mother moved out the ingredients prepared the day before: green leaves, glutinous rice, white hibiscus, raisins, candied dates, peanuts. "Mom, so many delicious!" "Don't worry, it will be better to pack it." Mother rolled the leaves into a funnel, poured a spoonful of glutinous rice, and added some raisins, candied dates, and a spoonful. Glutinous rice, then compacted, compacted, and then covered with the remaining leaves, I quickly handed the prepared small piece of rope to the mother, the mother tied the tweezers with a rope, a tweezers wrapped. With the joint efforts of my mother and my mother, the nephew was finally finished! Mother put the wrapped dumplings in the pot and cook. "Mom, why do you want to eat scorpions during the Dragon Boat Festival?" "People want to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan!" Mother told me about Qu Yuan's deeds. I also know the origin of the scorpion in the Dragon Boat Festival: it was feared that Qu Yuan was taken by the river. The fish was eaten, and people threw the wrapped dumplings into the river to feed the fish, which shows that people respected Qu Yuan.

Eating sweet scorpions and thinking about the great patriotic sentiments of the ancients, I think: I must study hard and grow up to serve the motherland!
