Dragon Boat Festival 1 The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the fifth day of May, Mid-Autumn Festival, Duanyang Festival, Wudu Festival, Doll Festival, May Festival and Daughter's Day. Different regions and nationalities in China have different explanations about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. Widely circulated is in memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. According to "The Peace of Continuation of Qi" written by Wu Jun of Liang Dynasty, Qu Yuan, a doctor and patriotic poet of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, died in the Miluo River on May 5th. People eat zongzi and row dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate him. This legend is a household name in China, with far-reaching influence, and Minqin is no exception. The Dragon Boat Festival in Minqin inherits the ancient tradition and is full of ancient style and interest. Minqin people usually celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th. The main activities are children's five-poison bag, sachet, eating eggs, zongzi, oil cake, twist and so on.
Dou Du, the capital of Wudu, is mainly popular in the northwest of China, and Shaanxi is the most prosperous, with more witchcraft significance. There are different opinions about the five poisons. Generally refers to snakes, scorpions, spiders, geckos, toads and so on. These animals are poisonous, and they will be poisoned after biting. Children are particularly vulnerable to these animals. May is also the period when these animals are active, so during the Dragon Boat Festival, people use witchcraft to suppress the five poisons. Embroidering belly with five poisons is one of the most important methods. These are all folk customs with witchcraft meaning, expressing people's good wishes. Before the festival, children, especially those under one year old, can get a "five-poison Chinese-style chest covering" from grandma. The cloth used for Chinese corsets is generally red, and the pattern of five poisons is generally white, black or green, which is sewn with threads of other colors. Very beautiful, it can really be said that it is a work of art, and some of them are made into shorts, which children wear in turn all summer until it is cool in autumn. Because it looks good, comfortable and durable, adults like it and children are willing to wear it. Some children can wear it for two or three summers. When children grow up and can't wear them, mothers will collect books like babies. Some will give it to others, and those who accept it will be very happy, because not everyone can do it, and ordinary young people may not be able to do it. Weeping willow technique
Dragon Boat Festival is a popular festival for people of all ethnic groups in China. At this time, in many areas in the south and north, every household hangs willow skills on their doors to ward off evil spirits.
Minqin people also have a unique custom. On the day before the Duanyang Festival in May, careful mothers knitted colorful flower ropes for children and put them on their necks, wrists and ankles to show good luck. They wear them until July 7, and throw them in the room, let magpies hold them, and build a bridge between the cowherd and the weaver girl in the Milky Way, so that they can meet once a year. On this festival, Minqin's daughters-in-law will steam fans and take zongzi back to their parents' home.
People in Minqin eat zongzi slightly differently from other places. Zongzi is usually a stick, and the ingredients in it are not like glutinous rice, mung beans, pork and spiced powder made by southerners. Instead, add red dates and glutinous rice to glutinous rice, which is especially sweet and delicious, or it is good glutinous rice, and honey tastes particularly sweet and refreshing.
Dragon Boat Festival sketch 2 "May 5th is Duanyang. The door is full of incense. Eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The dragon boat is in the water. " Zongzi leaves are fragrant, and eating Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is the traditional custom with the most festive atmosphere.
Our dumplings are very particular. Let's start with zongzi leaves. Mother always takes pains to climb into the deep mountains and pick the natural and lush leaves on the mountains. They are semi-moist and full, and their fragrance is pure and rich. They are the most authentic dumplings, and the wrapped dumplings have a fragrance of Shan Ye people. Let's talk about the wrapping method first: wash the glutinous rice and soak it for three or four hours; Soak fresh zongzi leaves and zongzi rope in warm water, wash and drain; Add various ingredients as needed, and can be packaged into simple red bean zongzi, mung bean zongzi, red date zongzi, chestnut zongzi, ham zongzi ... or stuffed with meat or vegetarian rice dumplings with shredded dried radish, diced mushrooms, chestnuts, salted egg yolk and meat stuffing. Mom said that people who make jiaozi and cook zongzi must be gentle and not impatient, otherwise they can't make delicious zongzi. Yes, only like my mother, did the work carefully and calmly, overlapping two zongzi leaves, rolling them into a pointed tube, adding two spoonfuls of glutinous rice and tamping them carefully with chopsticks. Mom emphasized that the rice was loose, the water was sticky, and it was not delicious. Mother then wrapped the zongzi into four corners and tied it tightly. After cooking, put it in the pot, cover the zongzi with cold water and cook for two hours on medium heat. These two hours are the most painful moment for our children. As the fragrance grows stronger, our mouths become more and more chattering. When zongzi are cooked, they are green and yellow, and a rich and lasting delicacy is full of souls.
What impressed me the most was this year's Dragon Boat Festival. This year, my mother suffered from severe spinal diseases, and she has been ill for half a year. She can't do any work, but stay in bed at home. We all thought we couldn't eat the zongzi wrapped by our mother. Unexpectedly, two days before the festival, my mother carried us to the farmer's market, where she carefully selected for a long time and bought a stack of leaves. The poor mother was out of breath after walking the distance. When I got home, I was almost one step at a time, muttering, "This leaf is not good either. I might as well pick it on the mountain myself." We all advised my mother to buy some food instead of a bag. My mother shook her head and said, "Nothing, it's nothing to wrap a few zongzi!" " "The next morning, my mother limped away. Washing zongzi leaves and washing glutinous rice ... sweat hung on her forehead. We know that it is not the hot weather, but mother's illness. We all love our mother very much, but knowing her stubborn temper, we have to try our best to help her. Being young, I didn't help much. My mother gritted her teeth and wrapped a whole hundred zongzi. When the zongzi was almost cooked, my mother couldn't hold it any longer. She has been resting in bed, and she has always said, "Send some to her neighbors, and it usually causes trouble to others." "According to mom's practice, we must share good things with our neighbors. We left 30 at home and gave the rest to our neighbors.
Although this zongzi is not as delicious as before, I think it is the best zongzi I have ever eaten. Because my mother made it and I tasted it.
You must be surprised to see such a festival. Yes, there are so many festivals: Children's Day, Labor Day, Christmas Day, Women's Day, National Day, Dragon Boat Festival … everything, but I have never heard of Bubble Festival. Do you want to know? Please come into our campus, and you will suddenly realize.
In our school, you will always see some children blowing bubbles on the porch. They wheeze bubbles into the sky, and the bubbles will flutter with the wind. As a result, many bubbles slowly rose to the sky and then slowly fell down. When bubbles can't control themselves, they burst, and even if the sound is very small, bubbles end their short life. Then, many new bubbles were born from our mouths. Under the cheerful "blowing" of the children, they flew into the sky happily ... when class is over, we will see bubbles floating in the air.
There are always groups of bubbles, and there are all kinds of strange shapes: love-shaped, oval, rectangle and figure-8 ... colorful and dazzling, which gives us endless joy and infinite reverie ... But the teacher regards blowing bubbles as a violation of discipline and confiscated a "mother" who only gave birth to bubble babies from our desk, which makes us extremely sad and sorry. I think the colorful bubbles in the school are a beautiful scenery on campus, like the first rainbow in spring. Although their lives are short, they are full of incomparable vitality.
What does "Bubble Festival" mean? From yesterday to today, it seems to be a bubble blowing festival, as if everyone should prepare a bottle of bubble water. I clearly remember that in February last year, around this time, something happened at school at the same time today. No one prescribed it, and no one chewed it. There are children blowing bubbles in every corner of the campus. I casually call this time in February every year, probably from 18 to 19, the "bubble festival".
I didn't make any preparations for the "bubble festival" at all, and I didn't have the courage to buy bubble water. I like watching others play, and I also like others blowing bubbles for me to play. In the past two days, we all played our favorite bubble games. I like to gently touch small bubbles with my forefinger and fingertip. Unfortunately, when they reach my fingertips, they turn into water and disappear into my eyes. Female students wearing winter school uniforms are very happy, because the outer layer of our winter school uniforms is very smooth and elastic. When they gently touch their sleeves, the bubbles will not burst, but will hover and somersault in the air like gymnasts. This is really great. In this way, the bubble passed from one arm to the other, but in a few seconds, it was "gone" again.
Watching the classmates around me blow bubbles reminds me of my favorite cartoon Spongebob. Spongebob, the hero, is a master at blowing bubbles. It can blow bubbles of various shapes and colors. Although it feels a bit like a deformed yellow square, I really like it.
I don't know how long I've been standing there, but I've always liked these seven-color bubbles. They are also like spherical mirrors, "embracing" all the beautiful things on campus, such as green trees, red flowers, blue tile tall buildings and happy little angels. They print themselves, and everything looks more alive. Trees are colored, houses are colored, children are colored, and everything is colored!
Although the "bubble festival" is so beautiful, it also has strong enemies in dealing with bubbles. As all male students know, water guns are the bane of bubbles. When the water gun was fired, the bubble left tears sadly because it was hit, and a few drops of "tears" fell to the ground, as if crying about its tragic fate.
The bubble festival is almost over, and there are only a few vague bubbles left on campus. I really want to say to them: "I hope your fate is good and have a safe trip!" " I silently prayed for the bubbles in my heart. Follow the direction of the bubbles, wave to them and send them away.
Dragon Boat Festival sketch 4 is another year of dumplings fragrance. June 8 is a traditional festival in China, Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the first year that China decided to be a legal holiday for citizens. It is very necessary and meaningful to see from the media that some scholars are studying the historical evolution, formal origin, customs connotation, folk custom changes and practical significance of the Dragon Boat Festival. The author thinks that the Dragon Boat Festival is actually a patriotic education festival, the earliest health and epidemic prevention festival in China, and a golden tourism festival. These three connotations should be properly solidified and continuously developed.
First of all, as a patriotic festival, this should be the core of the times when the Dragon Boat Festival becomes a legal holiday. The earliest legend that linked the Dragon Boat Festival with Qu Yuan was Customs Tong written by Ying Xun in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while the complete zongzi originated from the legend commemorating Qu Yuan, which was Continued Harmony written by Wu Jun in Nanliang. This legend has been widely recognized by the people of the whole country. At first, the custom with the sole purpose of exorcism and health care appeared the factor of commemorating ancient sages. At first, it only reflected the relationship between man and the rhythm of nature, and began to reflect the relationship between people, infiltrating the thought of social morality, which is an important symbol of the development of the custom of Dragon Boat Festival. People can't help asking, why can a legend be recognized by the whole people? A: It is because of the charm of Qu Yuan's spirit, strong will to pursue ideals, clean personality and patriotic sentiment.
Secondly, as a health and epidemic prevention festival, this should be the internal content of the Dragon Boat Festival becoming a legal holiday. The Dragon Boat Festival approaches the summer solstice. Although the midsummer has not yet arrived, the continuous high temperature weather is very uncomfortable. This time is a period when all kinds of germs propagate and spread at will. Dragon Boat Festival, at this time in ancient China, is a high incidence of epidemic. People think that May is a poisonous month and the fifth day is a poisonous day. There are five poisons, namely snake, centipede, scorpion, filter cloth gecko and toad. This month is full of disasters, and I have thought of many ways to deal with it. Avoiding the "five poisons" is also the original intention of the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, it is early summer, rainy and humid, poisonous insects breed, and people are prone to get sick. Therefore, people should drink realgar wine to drive away snakes and insects, collect dew as early as possible to wash their eyes to improve their eyesight, and children should wear sachets containing cinnabar, realgar and vanilla to prevent some infectious diseases. So people gradually get used to drinking realgar wine on this day, inserting wormwood, hanging calamus, wearing sachets and wearing tiger ropes to exorcise evil spirits. These customs are superstitious and backward to modern people, but they reflect the folk wisdom of the ancients under specific historical conditions. Traditional customs such as wormwood, calamus and realgar wine are beneficial to people's health and epidemic prevention and health care. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival can be said to be the national epidemic prevention day, and it is also the earliest health and epidemic prevention festival in China. Compared with ancient times, the treatment of various diseases is more advanced, but many people's awareness of disease prevention and epidemic prevention has faded. People of insight appealed that during this year's Dragon Boat Festival, we might as well put old customs into new use, carry out patriotic health activities in summer, raise people's awareness of health and epidemic prevention, and make the Dragon Boat Festival a modern national health and epidemic prevention festival.
Thirdly, as a golden tourism festival, the Dragon Boat Festival has become a legal holiday, which should be an inevitable trend. Dragon Boat Festival is a festival related to boats and water. You can eat zongzi, watch or take part in the dragon boat race. It is also an ideal choice to enjoy the scenery by boat. Spring outing is fashionable and should be the inevitable trend of Dragon Boat Festival. At the same time, based on the construction of the socialist core value system, we should fully tap the profound cultural connotation of the Dragon Boat Festival, combine the preparation and holding of the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, extensively carry out mass festivals, folk customs, cultural entertainment, physical fitness, patriotic hygiene and popular science propaganda activities, call for the theme of "commemorating Qu Yuan's love for China" in the whole society, guide people to further understand, identify, love and live traditional festivals, enhance patriotic feelings and raise scientific awareness.
Dragon Boat Festival sketch 5 "May 5th is Duanyang. Insert Artemisia argyi and put on the sachet. Eat zongzi and sprinkle sugar. The dragon boat went into the water happily. " Every year, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanyang Festival, Noon Festival, Ai Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Heavy Noon, Noon Day and Summer Festival. Although the names are different, people all over the world have the same customs. Dragon Boat Festival is an ancient custom in China for more than 2,000 years. On this day, every family will have a dragon boat race. Eat zongzi, drink realgar wine and wear sachets. According to legend, Qu Yuan went abroad during the Warring States Period and was knowledgeable. He was an official beside the king of Chu and was loyal to his country. The bad king Chu listened to the traitor and exiled Qu Yuan. When Qu Yuan was in exile, he heard that the capital of Chu was occupied by the enemy, and the people suffered greatly. On the fifth day of May, he came to the Miluo River and jumped into it with a stone in his arms. People who go abroad are very sad to hear that Qu Yuan jumped into the river. They rowed the boat with tears in their eyes to salvage Qu Yuan and threw zongzi into the river to feed the fish, hoping that the fish would not hurt Qu Yuan's body. This is the origin of making zongzi in Duanyang in May.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, people have many customs, such as dragon boat racing, eating zongzi, drinking realgar wine, hanging purse and tying colored silk thread. These customs are to exorcise evil spirits or to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan.
There is a faint smell in the street where Qu Yuan is sacrificed, which is the smell of boiled zongzi. The Dragon Boat Festival is here. Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival. On this day, people eat zongzi and hang sachets ... people celebrate this festival in various forms. Of course, I will also think of Qu Yuan, a poet related to the Dragon Boat Festival. That tragic fate made people sympathize with him and miss him, so there was the Dragon Boat Festival, and some people paid homage to him again and again. Qu Yuan was a minister in Chu Huaiwang during the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated the use of talents, empowerment, and prosperity, and advocated joint resistance to Qin, which was strongly opposed by others. Qu Yuan was forced to leave his post, was driven out of the capital and exiled to the Yuan and Xiang river basins. During his exile, he wrote immortal poems such as Li Sao, Tian Wen and Jiu Ge, which were unique and far-reaching. In 278 BC, Qin Jun conquered Kyoto of Chu. Seeing that his motherland was invaded, Qu Yuan was heartbroken, but he was always reluctant to give up his motherland. On May 5th, after writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he died in the Miluo River and wrote a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life. "QuShi sink to death, Truman regret. Why not slander, but want to be a dragon? Hate before death, not after death. Yuanxiang Bitan Water is going to shoot Qianfeng. " May 5th by Mei is about Qu Yuan, which makes people feel sad, sad, lonely and sad. Qu Yuan, you are in pain. You tried your best to help your country, but you were framed by a traitor. You watched the brutal Qin Jun invade the State of Chu, burning its palaces and killing its people, and your heart planted in the palace garden was burned to ashes. Without a heart, you are like a tree without roots, so you chose death to prove your heart.
Jumping off the Miluo River, you just jumped off, ending everything. The moment you jumped down, you saw the grieving people crying for you, and you smiled with relief. It turns out that people are so clear before they die! After the death of Qu Yuan, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay homage to Qu Yuan. The fisherman paddled the boat and fished for his real body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out rice balls, eggs and other foods prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river, saying that ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs were full and would not bite the doctor. People followed suit after seeing it. An old doctor took an altar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying that he would stun the dragon water beast with medicine so as not to hurt Dr. Qu. Later, people were afraid that rice balls would be eaten by dragons, so they came up with the idea of wrapping rice with neem leaves and then wrapping it with colored silk to make it develop into brown seeds. Although somewhat deified, a poet has been remembered by people for nearly 2300 years. His sentence "The road is long and its Xiu Yuan is Xi, Xiu Yuan is Xi, and I will go up and down for it" has been told by people for thousands of years, which is really admirable. On the Dragon Boat Festival, Wen Zongxiang offered a sacrifice to Qu Yuan.
Dragon Boat Festival is really an interesting traditional festival!
