The hot summer has quietly arrived, and the Dragon Boat Festival has also arrived. I like the Dragon Boat Festival very much. I can not only eat Zongzi, but also watch the dragon boat race.On this day, I got up early from my bed and ate Zongzi in the morning. I asked, "Why eat Zongzi today?" My mother said, "The Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. It is a traditional festival in China, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is related to Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan was a scholar from the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. He was an official near the King of Chu and wanted to make his country rich and strong. The foolish king of Chu, however, listened to the words of his ministers and demoted Qu Yuan to exile. During his exile, Qu Yuan heard that the capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy, and the people suffered and were displaced. On the fifth day of May, he arrived at the edge of the Guluo River, embraced a stone, and jumped into the river. The people of Chu were deeply saddened when they heard the news of him throwing himself into the river. They rowed with tears to salvage Qu Yuan and threw Zongzi into the river to feed fish, hoping that the fish in the river would not hurt Qu Yuan's body. This is the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, every family has to eat Zongzi. Dragon boat competitions are held all over the south, which are related to mourning Qu Yuan.
After breakfast, I came to the river to watch the dragon boat race. The two sides of the Lianshui River are crowded with people, and the scene is very lively. There are two boats parked in the river, with pointed ends and curved bodies. The whole boat is like a curved moon. The competition started, and as soon as the whistle was heard, the people on the boat rowed hard, and the two boats chased after each other without giving way. Later, one of the ships had a slight advantage and rushed towards the finish line, achieving victory. The people on the ship were overjoyed, while those on the shore couldn't help but applaud and cheer. Some even set off firecrackers.
At night, as I lay in bed, I thought to myself: we should learn from Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit, grow up to be useful people, and contribute to the construction of our country.

The essential activities on this day gradually evolved into eating Zongzi, racing dragon boats, hanging calamus, Artemisia argyi, fumigation, angelica, and drinking realgar wine. It is said that eating Zongzi and racing dragon boats are in memory of Qu Yuan, so after liberation, the Dragon Boat Festival was named "Poet's Day" to commemorate Qu Yuan.

The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is one of the national statutory holidays and is listed on the World Intangible Cultural Heritage List.Today, our custom is the traditional northern characteristics.

Today, both grandma and mother made Zongzi at home. Seeing grandma pick up a piece of zongzi leaf, roll it up, roll it up into a funnel shape, then put the glutinous rice inside, stack it up, wrap it with thin thread, and throw it into the pot. I also want to try how to make Zongzi. I also picked up a piece of zongzi leaf, rolled it up, rolled it up into a funnel shape. I put the rice in, but the rice I put in soon leaked out. Grandma said, "Nannan, you didn't even roll up the zongzi leaves before putting the glutinous rice in. Who else did you leak?" I looked at my mother, really, there was no gap below, and then at mine, there was a small hole. No wonder! I picked up another piece, rolled it up so hard, so hard. Finally, there is no gap. I finally made a Zongzi by myself. It must taste delicious!
Mom is cooking garlic again, and I lost my appetite at first glance. Garlic is so spicy, how could it be possible to eat one garlic at a time?

One morning when I was young, I smelled the fragrance of Zongzi as soon as I got up. So, I quickly washed my face, brushed my teeth, and ran to the kitchen to take a look. There was no one around, so I ran to the front door to take a look. Eh, there seems to be two people outside the door. I thought they were thieves, so I went out with a broom. I saw that it was my grandparents who were making Zongzi. My grandmother saw me and said, "Why are you going to war?" I touched my head silently.Grandparents wrapped Zongzi and began to cook it. After about half an hour, Zongzi should be out of the pot. I took a Zongzi and took a bite: "Wow! It's so fragrant, and this Zongzi is so delicious!" My grandfather called me and said, "Eat quickly. After eating, let's go to watch the dragon boat race." "Great!" I cried out happily.
When they arrived at the lake, people were very happy. Some of them chatted and some ate. As he spoke, a loud whistle sounded, and the dragon boat flew out like a bullet, so fast! My grandfather and I made a bet: "It's the third to win." Grandpa said it's the first, but none of us were convinced. Half an hour later, the game was over, and indeed the third won. It really fooled me!

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. My mother bought us Zongzi stuffed with red beans and dates. It's delicious. When eating Zongzi, I asked my mother: "Why eat Zongzi?" My mother said: "In memory of Qu Yuan, the minister of Chu during the Warring States Period." So my mother told me a story about Zongzi.Qu Yuan was a great patriotic poet in our country. He actively advocated for the Chu state to unite with the Qi state and resist the Qin state. His opinions were not adopted, but instead were dismissed from official positions and sent to remote areas.
When the state of Chu was about to fall, on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, the people of Chu threw delicious food into the river to prevent the fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs in the river from eating Qu Yuan's body. One night, an old man dreamed of Qu Yuan and asked him, "Have you eaten all the food we have given you?" Qu Yuan said, "The food you have given me has been eaten by those fish, shrimp, turtle and crab." The old man asked, "How can they not eat it?" Qu Yuan said, "You wrap the rice with bamboo leaves and make it into a rhombohedral Zongzi. They dare not eat it because they think it is a rhombohedron."
On the Dragon Boat Festival the next year, people dropped sharp Zongzi into the Miluo River as Qu Yuan said. However, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan gave the old man a dream again, saying, "Thank you for sending me so many Zongzi, and I have eaten them. But most of them are still eaten by fish, shrimp, turtle and crab." The old man asked Qu Yuan, "What else can I do?" Qu Yuan said, "The ship that sent Zongzi should dress up as a dragon, because fish, shrimp, turtle and crab are under the jurisdiction of the dragon, and they dare not eat the things of the dragon king."
Since then, every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, people have rowed dragon boats to the Miluo River to send Zongzi. This is the origin of eating Zongzi and rowing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival.
I finally know why I eat Zongzi and row dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival.
