The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, the story, the story about the Dragon Boat Festival?

The annual Dragon Boat Festival is coming, and this festival is what I have been looking forward to for a long time, because on this day I can eat zongzi and tie colorful thread ......

When I was a child, I often listened to my grandmother tell Qu Yuan's story. Qu Yuan was a native of Chu during the Warring States Period, and he was very loyal to the king of Chu, but he was repeatedly ostracized, exiled, and finally died by throwing himself into the river. In order to express their sorrows, people rowed on the river, and then gradually developed into dragon boat racing.

The people went home one after another to bring rice balls and throw them into the river, so as not to spoil Qu Yuan's body with fish and shrimp, and later it became a custom to eat zongzi. In this way, everyone uses the Dragon Boat Festival to eat zongzi and race dragon boats to commemorate Qu Yuan. After listening to Grandma's story, I often guessed:

What kind of characters can win the admiration and love of so many people? Since then, Qu Yuan, a heroic figure, has come into my heart, and I have begun to have a special feeling for the Dragon Boat Festival.

I heard my grandmother say that in the traditional Dragon Boat Festival, people have the custom of holding dragon boat races, eating zongzi, tying colorful threads, hanging artemisia grass, and wearing sachets. There are so many customs for the Dragon Boat Festival, it's so much fun! I'd love to see it with my own eyes.

Mom, come on! You see, that's dragon boat racing! "Where?"

My mother, who was also obsessed with the Dragon Boat Festival, quickly put down the newspaper in her hand and watched the wonderful and moving picture on TV with me: the boat was long and narrow, the bow was decorated with a dragon's head, the stern was decorated with a dragon's tail, and then brightly colored such as red, black, and gray. Thirty or fifty scratchers on the boat worked together and moved in unison, and for a time, the drums beat and the horns were loud, and for a time it was dazzling and dizzying.

The dragon boat race is really lively and intense!

Zongzi is my favorite food. Zongzi is small in size and has an oblique quadrangular shape. It is mostly filled with red dates and bean paste.

Because in the north, I eat candied date dumplings every year, but this year is different, my mother and grandma personally wrapped egg yolk meat dumplings, fresh meat dumplings and plum vegetable meat dumplings for me, which are so delicious that I can eat a round belly.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a colorful line, and wearing a sachet is my favorite. When my grandmother was alive, every time the Dragon Boat Festival was celebrated, she would make colorful threads and sachets for me in advance. The sachet is in the shape of a small gourd, and the inside is filled with vanilla, and the surface of the sachet is made of red jacquard satin, which is very beautiful.

When I got up on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandmother tied colored threads on my arms and ankles, and put the sachet around my neck. Grandma Tai said that this can prevent mosquito bites and ward off evil spirits. I still keep this sachet to this day.

Although Grandma has been away from me for a long time, her kind and kind smile appears in front of my eyes whenever I see that delicate little sachet. Now that grandma is gone, the task of making sachets is completed by grandma every year during the Dragon Boat Festival. Although the sachets made by my grandmother are not as delicate and chic as those made by my grandmother, I like them just as much.

This is the sincere concern of the elderly for their children.

The Dragon Boat Festival has been listed as a cultural heritage for protection in the country, and this day is also included in the national legal holiday. I love this festival very much because it brings me an appreciation of food and a nostalgia for the ancients...

Dragon Boat Festival Story:

The saying of the totem sacrifice of the Wuyue nation.

The fifth day of the fifth month of May is the day when the tribe of the "dragon" in the ancient Wuyue region held totem sacrifices. Because the two main activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, eating zongzi and racing, are related to dragons. Zongzi are often stolen by mosquitoes and dragons when thrown into the water, and dragon boats are used for boat racing.

Moreover, in ancient times, the people of Wuyue also had the custom of cutting off their hair and tattooing "to resemble a dragon".

In addition, in ancient times, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, there was a folk custom of "colorful silk tie arms", and Wen Yiduo thought that this should be a relic of the tattoo custom of "like a dragon".

In the "Historical Education of the Dragon Boat Festival" and the "Dragon Boat Festival" writings, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is verified. He pointed out that the Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival held by the dragon totem group of the Wuyue ethnic group, an ethnic minority in the southern part of our country in ancient times, and had a history of at least four or five thousand years. At that time, the Wuyue people living in the Jiangnan region were constantly threatened by floods and droughts, plagues and insect pests, so they took the "dragon" as the totem of their own nation, hoping that "the dragon could protect themselves", and "cut off their hair and tattoos" to decorate themselves with the appearance of dragons.

On the fifth day of May during the summer season, they hold a grand totem festival, placing various foods in bamboo tubes, or wrapping them in leaves, placing them in water, offering them to the totem gods, and also eating them themselves. In order to please the totem god, dragon-shaped wooden boats were also made, competing on the water, beating drums, and worshipping the gods and entertaining the gods.
