Dragon Boat Festival is the traditional day in China, it is on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. The common activity for different places are dragon boat competition and eating zongzi. In my hometown, there will be the dragon boat competition every year. A lot of teams join this activity and there are full of audiences stand on the river side, wathing and yelling for the teams. It is one fo the biggest matches in my hometown. What’ more, making zongzi is also the tradition. My mother makes the zongzi at this time every year, she told me that she learned it from my grandma and she would teach me in the future.
Today, I see a lot of zongzi at home.
My favorite food is jujube rice dumplings, I took a bite to eat, sweet, sticky, delicious, I ate and ask a mother: "why do you want to eat zongzi today?" "Today is the fifth Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of may," said the mother. "eating zongzi is a tribute to the great poet qu yuan, and there is also a place for the dragon boat race to commemorate him."
I eat the fragrant rice dumplings. Understand the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival.
Today, it is the Dragon Boat Festival. My grandma and grandpa came to my house. My grandmother said to me: "their families hang mugwort calamus, eat zongzi, go up the hill and pick green, and eat zongzi and make zongzi. Early in the morning, I followed my grandma pack up, first of all take out two pieces of leaves, one large and one small learn to the appearance of the grandmother out of the corner, again a little bit on the folded Angle cone into the soak glutinous rice, some red bean paste, and glutinous rice was built. I started to be a little smug, thinking: its hard for me to make a simple dumpling. But when I put the leaves back on, the glutinous rice was like a naughty child who didnt listen to my commands and jumped out in succession. I was like a cat on hot bricks today, fortunately, my grandma solution for me get some glutinous rice around a bit, I breathed a sigh of relief, the in the mind of a heavy piece of rock. After a few setbacks, I finally got to the last step. I took the palm rope and wrapped it in a circle and then I gave it to my grandmother. It was then that I realized that zongzi was a handicraft work and it was very difficult to wrap up.
This time the Dragon Boat Festival can be really interesting, not only I will make dumplings, but also know that if there is a setback, I will also climb up and try again!
