The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and our family and my grandma’s family have already planned an unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival. I have planned a holiday trip and I am looking forward to it very much.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, at dawn, my uncle drove his family van to Daqinggou. There were nine people in the car, including grandparents, grandparents, father, mother, uncle Yuanyuan, and me. The vehicle drove for 5 hours and successfully arrived at the Daqinggou Scenic Area. Looking from afar, you can see the tall Daqinggou archway and the rows of brightly colored yurts. The scenery is very spectacular, with the busy traffic and the sea of ??people...

According to people’s introduction, Daqinggou is a national 4A-level tourist attraction. The ditch is more than 200 meters deep and there are more than 300 species of trees and plants in the primeval forest. Although the spring water at the bottom of the ditch is less than 1 meter deep, it flows continuously all year round. Especially in summer, the spring water flows very fast, making it the best place for tourists to raft.

Every two tourists take a rubber boat. The kayak automatically travels down the rapids for more than ten miles without the need for people to row it. All the rafting tourists sprayed each other with water guns and splashed water in the small basin. They were all very happy and got wet. No one cared. After rafting, we went to Xiaoqing Lake and other attractions.

In this way, we played all day, until nightfall, we reluctantly left here. Along the way, our whole family was talking and laughing, and we were very happy. This was really an unforgettable experience. Traveling during the Dragon Boat Festival. Composition on the Dragon Boat Festival: Making Zongzi for the First Time 400 words 2

Every year, we have to experience various folk activities. Among them, the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, also called the May Festival and the Dragon Boat Festival. etc., is a traditional festival in our country. The Dragon Boat Festival has been passed down to this day and has left many traditional habits, which are quite interesting to talk about.

I remember that there were many activities to participate in on this day. Early in the morning, when the genius was bright, I was woken up by my mother while I was still sleeping. I went to the river to wash my face sleepily. It is said that I can have sharp ears and eyesight. The river water in the morning was very cold, and I felt very energetic as soon as I washed it on my face, as if it really had the magical effect of curing diseases. After washing your face, you have to collect mugwort in the fields or hillsides. When you get home, stick it under the eaves or beside the door frame. It is said to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters, so as to keep your family safe. During the meal, my mother brought a bowl of hard-boiled eggs to the table. The eggs should be red-skinned. The snow-white egg whites and golden yolks look festive. After dinner, I started to eat my favorite rice dumplings. It is said that eating rice dumplings was a custom passed down from ancient times to commemorate the poet Qu Yuan. A ball of glutinous rice and small red dates are wrapped in bamboo leaves, and the outermost part is tied with a red thin thread. Untie the thin thread, peel off the bamboo leaves layer by layer, and you will see the sticky feeling of the glutinous rice and the sweet taste. The taste becomes stronger and stronger, making you salivate and impatient. It sounds like these activities are being carried out quietly, unlike some places where dragon boat races are held on the Dragon Boat Festival. The people on the dragon boats paddle hard and the people on the shore shout in unison at the top of their lungs. It is earth-shattering. The atmosphere was so lively that I wanted to turn the earth upside down.

Folk customs give life hope and give us a sense of home. Dragon Boat Festival composition: Making Zongzi for the first time 400 words 3

Thursday is the Dragon Boat Festival. My brother and mother and I made an appointment with Zheng Zilong and his mother to go swimming in Huaxin Swimming Pool.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, we all set out to the swimming pool together. When we got there, we each changed into swimsuits and swimming caps. Then I started swimming. Zheng Zilong couldn’t swim at first, so my mother rented him a lifebuoy and let him play with us. He didn’t dare to go into the water even with the lifebuoy. He practiced it several times before he dared to go into the water. . But he still didn't dare to take off the lifebuoy.

It was almost noon, and my mother bought us each a bucket of instant noodles. After we had eaten and drank enough, we started playing in the water again. We saw that everyone else was holding a ball, and we also wanted to rent a ball, so I asked my mother to rent it. When the ball came, we rushed to grab it. My brother grabbed the ball first and then passed it to me. I was in a daze at that time, and the ball was snatched away by Zheng Zilong. He threw it hard again and threw it to his mother, and then his mother Then pass it on to me. In this way, we gradually formed a diamond shape and passed the ball to each other.

In the evening, we walked out of the swimming pool reluctantly and got on the No. 19 bus. The bus engine stopped midway, and the toll collector asked a few boys and my mother and Zheng Zilong’s mother to go down and push the bus. The car, the car started, mothers quickly got in the car. We got off the bus at Siping Hotel. I felt a stomachache, so I asked my mother to hold me. After eating the bridge rice noodles, my stomach hurt even more, so I asked my mother to carry me.

This time we went to the swimming pool and had a lot of fun. Dragon Boat Festival composition: Making Zongzi for the first time 400 words 4

Every household eats Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival, but which kind of Zongzi is safe to buy and eat? Now let me tell you how to buy and eat rice dumplings.

Zongzi on the market come in various colors, including those wrapped in green leaves, those wrapped in cyan leaves, and those wrapped in dried yellow leaves. We should choose the kind of dried zongzi leaves. Zongzi wrapped in traditional air-dried leaves are safer! If you find rice dumplings wrapped in green “green rice dumpling leaves” at a stall, please do not buy them. The color of these “green rice dumpling leaves” is the color of unscrupulous merchants who use a chemical called copper sulfate to treat them. Instead of the original appearance of the original rice dumpling leaves, the rice dumplings wrapped in this kind of leaves not only smell weak, but also can cause poisoning if eaten by mistake, with a strange smell like sulfur. The green rice dumpling leaves just have less pigment or are not dried, so it is not advisable to buy rice dumplings wrapped in these leaves. So don’t covet rice dumplings with beautiful colors, but buy green, healthy and safe rice dumplings!

After choosing the rice dumplings, you must also pay attention to whether the shape of the rice dumplings is correct and whether the tightness of the string ties is appropriate! After taking the rice dumplings home and cooking them, you should also observe the color of the water in which the rice dumplings are cooked. The color should be light yellow. If the water is green, the rice dumplings are also unhealthy!

In addition, Xiao Cai, I would like to remind you: Zongzi is delicious, but it is made of glutinous rice. It is not good to eat too much. It will cause severe constipation. So don’t blame me for not writing more details and selling it. Zongzi man! Dragon Boat Festival composition: Making Zongzi for the first time 400 words 5

The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China. The Dragon Boat Festival is also known as: Duanyang, Chongwu and Dragon Boat Festival. Many activities during the Dragon Boat Festival are related to commemorating Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River and died on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. To commemorate him, people eat rice dumplings, race dragon boats, and drink realgar wine on this day every year.

The customs of the Dragon Boat Festival vary from place to place. The more common ones in our south are: eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, hanging wormwood, and drinking realgar wine. I remember when I was a child, my father took me back to my hometown to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. My grandma made the rice dumplings early, including red date fillings, meat fillings, salted duck egg fillings, and meat and salted duck egg fillings. The rice dumplings had just come out of the pot. It was so fragrant that I could eat two of them in one sitting. They were fragrant, glutinous and delicious.

At noon, my father took my sister and me to watch the dragon boat race. Dad and uncles wore uniforms and were on a dragon boat. They picked up oars. There were five people on each side. One person in front was beating a drum and one person in the back was blowing a whistle. As the dragon boat rows across the water, the water flies against the waves, colorful flags flutter, and there are constant cheers from all around. It is very lively and spectacular. My sister and I shouted loudly for my father on the shore. Both sides of the river were crowded with people watching. Each village competed in different sections of the river, and the competition for the championship was fierce.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to eating rice dumplings and racing dragon boats. They also use realgar wine to write the character "王" on the child's forehead, hang mugwort on the door, and make sachets with their own hands. It is said that it can ward off evil spirits. The Dragon Boat Festival is really a rich festival. Dragon Boat Festival composition: Making Zongzi for the first time 400 words 6

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. In the circle of friends, there are people who show off their dragon boats and some who show off their holiday life, but most of them show off their food and babies. Otherwise, it’s just showing off the baby’s food.

Many photos show children holding egg bags, small rice dumplings, peaches, and beautiful purse-like accessories.

I remember the egg bags I had when I was a kid. At that time, they were not so fancy and embroidered with beautiful patterns, but they were very simple and down-to-earth.

At that time, my mother would tie colorful wool into an egg bag, and then each child would be given an egg boiled with mugwort, and a peach placed in the egg bag. It's hollow and you can see what's inside.

Ever since, a group of children began to compete with each other about their own egg bags in the courtyard. Let’s see who has the prettiest color, whose eggs are bigger, and whose eggs have fresh peaches. Some children have big egg bags and can drill two or three eggs or peaches. They are so proud of themselves.

Even if you are very greedy, you have to satisfy yourself first before talking about eating.

In the past, mugwort water was used to bathe during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now, due to the popularity of shower gel, mugwort water is mostly used to wash hands and faces.

The aroma of boiled mugwort is also very good. People also insert dried mugwort on both sides of the door, which has festive significance. Dragon Boat Festival composition: making rice dumplings for the first time 400 words 7

"Wow, today is the Dragon Boat Festival! That's great!" I got up and looked at the calendar, looking forward to the annual Dragon Boat Festival. After breakfast, my dad came up to me and said, "Hey, would you like to go shopping at Carrefour today?" "Okay. Let's go!"

When we arrived at the supermarket, everything was filled with the flavor of the Dragon Boat Festival. . Hey, what is that? A faint fragrance of mugwort wafted from one of the shelves. I took a closer look: Oh, it turned out to be a sachet! I saw the twelve zodiac signs embroidered on each of the small and exquisite sachets. I was born in the year of dragon, so I picked up one embroidered with dragon. The dragon on the sachet is majestic, holding a fireball under its powerful claws. There are a few auspicious clouds floating leisurely next to it. On the back of the sachet is "good luck and good health" embroidered in traditional Chinese characters. "How about," Dad said with a smile, "Buy one?" What a great opportunity, can I not buy it? I was always hesitant about buying things and I decisively picked one up. When I got home, I saw mugwort hanging on the door, and each bush of mugwort added a lot of festive flavor.

At this time, it was close to noon, I quietly opened the door, and the triangular green figure of Zongzi appeared in front of me. I stuck my head out: Yeah, except for my dad, everyone else is doing something. I quickly picked up a zongzi and said, "Wait a minute!" Who? Ah, it’s mom! "The rice dumpling eating competition is about to be held. Whether you are a nosy guest, a busy guest, a passerby or a Pizza Hut, please take your seat!" Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom and I all hurriedly came to the table and sat down. Everyone took the rice dumplings, untied the ropes, and peeled off the rice dumpling leaves. I saw my father holding the rice dumpling and staring at it stupidly, wishing to "swallow the rice dumpling"; the mother next to me took a breath and smelled the faint fragrance of the rice dumpling; my grandmother was thinking about how to eat quickly due to the inconvenience of her right hand. Grandpa, however, was humming a little tune and was very relaxed; everyone wants to know more about me - I almost "drooled three thousand feet", that "embarrassing" at that time...

What is the festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month? Why does every household make rice dumplings on this day? I can answer these two questions: The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. The reason why every household makes rice dumplings is to commemorate Qu Yuan.

Today, our family also makes rice dumplings together. Mom gets up very early in the morning and goes to the market to buy ingredients. By noon, all preparations were completed. First, I folded two bamboo leaves together and folded a corner at one third to form a triangle. Then, I stuffed a piece of mung bean paste into it and put a little glutinous rice. Finally, I wanted to wrap the zongzi with bamboo rope, but the sausage and glutinous rice always showed through the small hole below. I used a clip to clamp the small hole, but my mother said: "Can't do this, what will happen later?" Cook it." I took off the clamp and followed my mother's example to narrow the hole. Finally, I successfully made the first rice dumpling. I became more and more energetic and made 18 rice dumplings in one go. I cooked some of my best creations. After a while, I took apart the bamboo leaves that I was most proud of and put them in my mouth. Immediately, a burst of fragrance floated in my mouth. After eating the rice dumplings, I felt very proud. After our family finished eating the rice dumplings, we held a little game: put the rice dumplings made by three different people on the table. Taste for yourself which one you made yourself. At first, I couldn't taste the rice dumplings I made. Finally, I found a piece of mung bean paste exposed from the bottom of the last rice dumpling. I pointed at it happily, and my father turned over the answer below, and I guessed it correctly.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Today is the day to commemorate Qu Yuan, so you must eat rice dumplings! I can smell the aroma of rice dumplings now!

I rushed into the kitchen and took a look at the pot: the pot was steaming hot, and several rice dumplings wrapped tightly in brown leaves were soaked in the water. Wow! So many rice dumplings! I called. Brush your teeth before eating. Mom said to me. I brushed my teeth at the speed of wind (no! It should be light), sat at the dining table, and waited for the delicious meal.

Within a few minutes, a bowl of fragrant rice dumplings appeared in front of me. These rice dumplings come in a variety of flavors: red bean filling, meat filling, egg yolk filling, etc. My favorite food is of course the big meat rice dumplings. I picked one and hurriedly pulled off the rice dumpling leaves wrapped on the outside and ate it quickly.

When I took my first bite, I tasted the delicious taste again. Delicious glutinous rice combined with delicious meat is simply better than delicacies from the mountains and seas. While tasting the delicious rice dumplings, I thought about the origin of rice dumplings.

In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, an official of the Chu State, faced the pain of subjugation. On May 5th, he threw a large stone into the Miluo River in grief and indignation. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from damaging his body, people put rice in bamboo tubes into the river. From then on, in order to express their respect and memory for Qu Yuan, on this day, people would pack rice in bamboo tubes and put it into memorial ceremony, which would be passed down from generation to generation. Now, while eating rice dumplings, I ask my mother about Qu Yuan’s story and live a happy Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon Boat Festival composition: Making Zongzi for the first time 400 words 10

Gulu, Gulu... my stomach growled louder than a whistle. When I got home, my grandma had already made rice dumplings and was waiting for me. There are meat fillings, candied date fillings, and bean fillings, all kinds of different. My favorite is bean rice dumplings, and I even asked my grandma to teach me how to make rice dumplings.

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is a traditional Chinese festival. During the Dragon Boat Festival, we eat rice dumplings and race dragon boats.

Do you know how the Dragon Boat Festival came about? In ancient Chu State, there was a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who was framed by a villain. King Huai of Chu believed the slander and exiled Qu Yuan. Later he went abroad and perished. On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, Qu Yuan finally threw himself into the Miluo River and died. People tried to salvage Qu Yuan's body, but ultimately failed to find it. In order to prevent Qu Yuan's body from being eaten by fish and shrimps, people would make rice dumplings and throw them into the Miluo River on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. This is how the Dragon Boat Festival came into being.

The Dragon Boat Festival cannot be without zongzi. I like making zongzi and eating zongzi even more. We prepared rice dumpling leaves, glutinous rice, red dates and thick threads. The glutinous rice needs to be soaked for several hours in advance. First, take 3-4 rice dumpling leaves and fold them neatly, then roll the rice dumpling leaves into a cone shape, then put the glutinous rice inside and put a few red dates. Finally, fold off the rice dumpling leaves and tie them with thread. Such a rice dumpling is ready. Put the wrapped rice dumplings in the pot and cook them. After more than an hour, the fragrant rice dumplings smell will fill the house. Open the cooked rice dumplings and take a bite. They are fragrant and sweet, so delicious.

After eating the rice dumplings, the dragon boat race is about to begin. "3, 2, 1, start" the referee shouted, and the dragon boats were flying on the water like offline arrows. You listen to "dong, dong, dong", and there are gongs and drums to cheer for. Dragon boat No. 1 was almost at the finish line, and several other dragon boats also sped up.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, I would hang a handful of calamus and mugwort on the door, which my mother bought. There is a special fragrance floating at the door. I didn't understand why, so I asked my mother: "Mom, why do you hang calamus and mugwort?" My mother touched my head and said, "There are many legends about the Dragon Boat Festival, some of which are said to be an evil day, and there are various All kinds of mosquitoes and evil spirits. Mugwort is used to repel mosquitoes, and calamus is used to ward off evil spirits, while dried mugwort leaves can protect your skin by giving you a bath.” After listening to my mother’s introduction, I realized that they are all good things.

On this day of Dragon Boat Festival, our family has a lot of food. My mother always follows my grandma’s habit of finding me dishes related to the word “yellow”: braised yellow croaker, cold cucumber, steamed salted egg yolk. Dad would cook a big plate of meat with whole eggs and garlic. Whether we liked it or not, my dad made my brother and I eat a little of everything.
