Dragon Boat Festival in memory

The day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, the annual Dragon Boat Festival are very casual, this year's Dragon Boat Festival reminds me of the time in my hometown before, hours I always watch my mother put the wide leaves spread, put rice mixed with soy sauce and salt into, and then put bacon in the middle of the rice. Put it in a big iron pot and cook it for a while.

On the morning of Dragon Boat Festival, Artemisia argyi was inserted on the door. It was said that Artemisia argyi could ward off evil. Mother also used Artemisia argyi grass cooked eggs and duck eggs for us to eat, but also the hot dumplings to us to eat, I like to eat salted meat dumplings. Now think about it was not eating zongzi, but the happy mood of the festival.

It has been decades since I left my hometown. I live in the city and can see all kinds of zongzi bought in supermarkets. There are three complete zongzi, Jiaxing zongzi, Wufangzhai zongzi, Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, containing rich humanistic spirit and profound cultural deposits, in the past month, relatives and friends began to carry zongzi courtesy exchanges, people's life due to the arrival of Dragon Boat Festival, from eating to social interaction began a new round of germination. As the representative of Dragon Boat Festival, Zongzi is one of the delicacies with a long history and ancient fragrance of the Chinese nation. The implication and national plot it contains make it form a unique culture. At present, various brands of zongzi in the market have already appeared first, the variety of zongzi is more varied, the variety emerges endlessly, what crystal zongzi, longan zongzi, fresh meat zongzi, lotus paste zongzi, preserved fruit zongzi, ham zongzi, salted egg zongzi and so on, there are heavy packaging, there are nutrition, can be described as a variety, nevertheless, traditional varieties or the main force of the market.

The scent lingers between the lips and teeth. About the origin of zongzi. American Reading Network

I remember listening to my teacher when I was a child, it was invented to pay homage to Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet who threw himself into the river. According to the records of "Xu Qi Xie Ji" by Wu Jun of Liang Dynasty in Southern Dynasty and "Jing Chu Sui Shi Ji" by Zong Xin of Northern Zhou Dynasty, Qu Yuan, a poet on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, was trapped by flood dragon all the year round after he threw himself into the Luo River. The world mourned him and threw five-colored silk dumplings into the water every day to drive away flood dragon. To the Tang Dynasty, zongzi is an essential holiday food for the Dragon Boat Festival. Yao He, a poet at that time, wrote poems such as Zhu noisy fishing song, wind and horn dumplings fragrance. Emperor Ming of Tang Dynasty also had four seasons of flowers and nine dumplings competing for new sentences. Wanshui Qianshan rice dumplings are love, do not eat rice dumplings can not do. Now, Dragon Boat Festival is a legal holiday for the whole people. During the festival, everyone is happy to row dragon boats, eat zongzi and drink realgar wine. At the same time, they also hope to think of Qu Yuan, a great patriotic poet, and it is better to recite his poem: The road is long and far away, I will search up and down!

Zongzi incense, incense kitchen, wormwood incense, incense full house, whenever I hear this familiar folk song, I can't help thinking that as one of the four traditional festivals of the Chinese people, the Dragon Boat Festival has arrived. Every season to this season, there is always a feeling lingering, memory deep in the family together package zongzi, eat zongzi happy scene is gradually clear. Women holding bamboo baskets full of vegetables and bamboo baskets full of rice greeted each other and walked to the river one after another to prepare delicious meals; men threw towels and scolded children, easily approaching the river. People who have worked hard for a day should let the clear river wash away their tiredness, and the children should also release the freedom imprisoned for a day here. Women wash vegetables, wash rice, while chatting about their private words, from time to time issued bursts of hearty laughter. The men, on the other hand, concentrate on bathing and swimming. Suddenly, they plunge into the water. After a while, they hold up a big mussel; after a while, they touch a fish or a shrimp. Men, like children, lose track of time and wait for women to shout for their men and children before they reluctantly return home. Ancient Huizhou architecture, clear river water, fish in the river, shrimp, shouting, mountain singing, rows of green hope written from one end of the rice field to the other. At the end of the month, our village is full of poetry.

Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate a forgotten memory! At this moment, I remember something! Life is a one-way ticket, from the moment I was born, I took this one-way ticket on the journey of life. On this train, we can't go back. No one has a chance to start over. In a memory of the moment, when stationed look back at the scenery we came, perhaps also can clearly see the footprints have been stepped on. But there will be many things worth missing, we hope to revisit. Of course, there will be many regrets, if we want to make up, if we can do it again, maybe everything can be better.

Back to reality, this year we taste sweet zongzi, that will last through the ages patriotic feelings. and passed it on from generation to generation.
