It's Dragon Boat Festival again.

The Dragon Boat Festival is here, in memory of Qu Yuan. The history of patriotic poets is still famous,

I have felt all beings for thousands of years.

Cook zongzi and race dragon boats. The torrent is brave and the first battle is successful.

Traditional culture is brilliant today.

Looking back on that year, I got up early in the morning. Artemisia argyi is cut and inserted into the door,

Cook onions, garlic and eggs in the same pot.

Realgar wine, fried bag. Boxing, guessing, fighting,

Young and old gathered to wish Kangning.

Flags are flying, gongs and drums are loud. The leading river faces the sky,

There is no wind on the river.

Firecrackers rang on both sides. The waves are turning flowers, the river is panting,

Qi Xin works together for the benefit of Qi Xin to win.

Count the present and enjoy the prosperity. We should be honest in peacetime,

Defend the country and defend Kyushu. ? -the author's inscription

Time flies, time is like running water. In a blink of an eye, another year of Dragon Boat Festival has waved to us not far away.

On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it has been told by adults since I can remember. This day is a traditional festival in memory of Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu State. When I was a little older, I realized that my hometown used to be the area where Qu Yuan always lived. Up to now, there are some place names in my hometown, such as Quyuan River, Shenzi River, Dianzi River and Ancestral Temple Island. Dragon Boat Festival In my hometown, dragon boat racing is the most interesting activity. What has been handed down from generation to generation, dragon boat rowing on the Dragon Boat Festival is rain or shine, and it never stops.

Once upon a time, the Dragon Boat Festival was one of the favorite festivals of people in their hometown, because adults could postpone their farm work for one day during the busy wheat harvest to relax themselves. Dragon Boat Festival is just one day away. However, this is also our favorite when we were teenagers. On this day, we can enjoy playing on the water and on the boat without worrying about being scolded by our parents. We can also buy a popsicle and eat for a long time. Even if there is only one stick left in the end, it still smacks its mouth with relish, as if the sweetness has been soaked in the stick. ...

I don't remember how long it has been, and I haven't rowed a dragon boat in my hometown. The last Dragon Boat Festival carnival in my hometown was the day after I graduated from junior high school. Just in time for the Dragon Boat Festival, my classmate Lao Han and I came to his home in Hanjiazhou, which is surrounded by water. On the Dragon Boat Festival, more than a dozen dragon boats gathered at the junction of Hanshui River and Weihe River near its mouth. It was the most hearty experience of rowing a dragon boat in my life. At the age of sixteen, we seem to have inexhaustible strength. On that day, at that passionate Dragon Boat Festival, we exhausted the strength of all young people.

Since then, I have officially entered the society. Later, due to work reasons, the Dragon Boat Festival became a dispensable form without any festive atmosphere. For many years after that, the scene of dragon boat race as a teenager was always in my mind around the Dragon Boat Festival. The kind of "plop, plop, paddle yo, chatter, hehe ..." became a unique voice, an expectation and a homesickness that I have been thinking about. ...

Childhood is always cheerful and short, and before we have enough fun, we grow from a slovenly teenager to a sunny teenager. At that time, there were not many festivals, and the most memorable and joyful ones were Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Dragon Boat Festival. Because I am young, shortly after the Lantern Festival, I always break my fingers and count how much time is left to welcome the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, my parents always scold me for not playing enough, and I only know how to have a holiday all day.

Looking forward to, looking forward to the grass is green and the sun is long; Looking forward to Sanghong and Xinger Huang; I hope that Mai Er will bask in the Dojo and May Peach will show red makeup. I know this long-awaited day is coming. ...

Hometown people call the Dragon Boat Festival May Day. On the fourth day of May, adults always ask us to pick up my aunt who left the pavilion for the holiday. And those little wives who want to get married also want to personally pick up their fiance's house for the New Year. In those years when there were no means of transportation, we measured the earth with our feet, crossed the green hills, crossed the rivers and walked happily on the country roads.

When I took my aunts to Lijiadian, which is close to home, I saw colorful flags flying on the beach and dragon boats in the water, so I couldn't walk. Seeing this, my aunt said that they would go back first, and told me to pay attention to safety, play less and go home quickly. Lijiadian is divided into two production teams: Shangwan and Xiawan. The upper bay is the Huanglong meeting and the lower bay is the Qinglong meeting. Each team sent experienced elders to command the boats at the scene. There are bibcock, dragon tail, gong, drum, paddle and so on. We small boys can't wait to get on the boat and row the dragon boat to the middle of the river. This is called "testing the water". Happy for a while, the adults drove us home, and we got off the boat disgruntled, but we were in a good mood at the thought of having a whole day to play the next day. Bathed in the sunset, the happy son ran home with the wind at his feet.

In the early morning of Dragon Boat Festival, my father woke me up. I usually like to stay in bed, but I am very active this day. As soon as I heard my father calling me, I got up in a hurry. It's twilight, standing on weeds, dew, humming a ditty that I can't understand, happily cutting off the thickest and strongest mugwort leaves, trotting home, and dad sticking it on the door. I climbed apricot and peach trees like a monkey and picked baskets of fresh fruit. My father and sisters pointed out which ones were big and which ones were red under the tree, and they all entered my fruit basket.

When I was picking fruit, smoke from the kitchen rose from my neighbor's roof. At the beginning of the breeze, the misty fairy temple in the morning glow is filled with festive atmosphere everywhere. The Dragon Boat Festival custom in my hometown is that the reunion dinner is in the morning, so my mother gets up early and is busy in the kitchen. Four brothers, four fathers, four grandmothers and four aunts take turns to celebrate the holidays. When it was my turn to celebrate the festival, several women helped their mother. There is no custom of eating zongzi in my hometown, but I will cook eggs, garlic and onion petals together in a pot. Father sometimes cooks some scorpions together, saying that it is to drive away the poisonous gas. By the time the sun jumped out of Dongshan, a table of delicious food had filled the table. Delicious fried dumplings, amber realgar wine and golden boiled eggs are customs handed down by our ancestors and indispensable food on the table of every household. Plus some seafood and seasonal vegetables, all of which make our mouths water. At that time, children were not allowed to eat at all except New Year's Eve and Dragon Boat Festival. A table of old and young people was seated in an orderly manner, and this feast began at that time. The adults picked up the sea bowl, and the full and clear realgar wine reflected their rare smiling faces. Dad also prepared sweet black rice wine for us, which made us feel happy and happy.

Sunrise Oriental Banquet is still here. There was the sound of dragon boats banging on the Qinghe River, so I didn't have time to eat. I grabbed two eggs and put them in my pocket. I ran away with a doughnut in my mouth. Adults "pay attention to safety ..." The voice sounded far behind them.

I ran to the beach with a group of friends. The beach just harvested in summer is particularly wide, and messy footprints are left on the soft silvery white beach. At this time, the dragon boat picked up the dragon king on the riverbank opposite my house, and firecrackers sounded in the Longwang Temple hidden in the lush Woods. We rolled up our trouser legs and stood by the water's edge, solemnly and sacredly watching the solitaire ceremony on the other side. After holding this series of ceremonies, they rowed the dragon boat to Panjiawan, and then went down the river to our Xiaojiawan for a turn. At this time, with the clang of the dragon boat, we followed all the way to Lijiadian, the main venue of the dragon boat race.

At this time, the banks of Lijiadian along the river are already crowded with people. They either stand or squat or sit together, looking forward to this annual Dragon Boat Festival. On the bustling riverside, flags are flying everywhere, and the villagers' faces are filled with smiles. When we jumped up and down in the crowd until we were hungry, we remembered the unfinished eggs and went to our pockets to find empty ones. The egg has fallen somewhere.

At seven or eight o'clock, firecrackers exploded on both sides of the river, and someone hurried out! I saw the commander-in-chief standing at the bow with a faucet in one hand and a baton tied with red cloth in the other, pointing to the place where firecrackers were set off. "Peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng, peng. I saw that the dragon boat players clasped their hands on the radial, and with the sound of gongs and drums, they went in and out of the water uniformly, and white waves rolled. The folks watching on both sides of the strait cheered for the dragon boat team they supported, while we danced excitedly. At that time, the dart money was cigarettes, with six packages for the first place and four packages for the second place. Dragon boat athletes try to win more cigarettes. According to my parents, when I was a child or several generations ago, the dragon boat race was for ducks, and whoever grabbed it on the dragon boat would get the reward he deserved. A big white duck lurks and floats in the water, which needs a good swimmer to catch it. After listening to it, I was fascinated by the dragon boat race to drive ducks for a long time, but I have never seen such an interesting thing in the dragon boat race for many years after I remember it clearly, and I regret it all my life.

There is an unwritten rule that we are not allowed to take part in the dragon boat race before we are twelve years old. Only when the dragon boat players go back for dinner at noon can it be our turn for all our children to row back and forth and have a dragon boat race addiction. In fact, rowing the dragon boat is a physical activity. After several rounds, my hands are blistered, my arms are sore, my back hurts, and my whole body is wet, but we still practice tirelessly, just to become a real dragon boat player one day and contribute to our dragon boat rowing.

Dragon Boat Festival is already around mango seeds. Summer is getting deeper and deeper, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. After lunch, regardless of the scorching sun, I took my father's pocket money and went to Lijiadian's shop sweating. The colorful popsicles in the foam box dazzled me. After getting the carefully selected popsicles, it is a different kind of enjoyment to find a cool place on the river bank and suck them in small sips, and the long river wind blows. I still remember the envious eyes of my partner who bought popsicles, and I can't find the taste of popsicles as a child in my memory.

In the afternoon, the dragon boat race was more intense, and firecrackers sounded intensively on both sides of the strait. Dragon boats rowed from Liuxi River and Dianzi River joined the darts, which made the dragon boat players work harder. Four dragon boats braving the wind and waves are like four vigorous Youlong, looming in the blue waves, suddenly advancing and retreating. In this case, the audience seems to have no other way to cheer up except screaming and cheering. After a series of dragon boat races, the athletes in the hot sun overhead are also exhausted, and their faces can't tell whether it is sweat or river water. When they want to change people by the river, they jump into the water one by one from the dragon boat and swim around like white bars in the waves. We are over 12 years old. Taking advantage of the rare replacement opportunity, we naturally waved the radial on the dragon boat and bravely rowed a few laps.

It's getting west, so relatives who go home for the New Year will go straight back to their homes from the place where they watched the dragon boat, and continue the summer wheat harvest tomorrow. At this point, the Dragon Boat Festival has come to an end. Two dragon boats, one green and one yellow, rowed to the Longwang Temple across the downstream river, which was called seeing off the dragon. I was lucky enough to send a dragon. On the way back, several old people were singing songs that seemed to commemorate Qu Yuan. Their expressions are not as exciting as when they race the dragon boat, but rather a little more inexplicable and tragic. When we got to the shore, we began to dismantle the faucet, dragon tail, gongs and drums, paddles and so on. And send it to the host's house for safekeeping next year. The rest of the young adults dragged the dragon boat out of the water under the command of their elders, and then carried it on their shoulders, stepping on the afterglow of the sunset, shouting neat songs and singing solemn and stirring songs, and carried it to the room dedicated to the dragon boat.

The long-awaited Dragon Boat Festival ended at sunset. The carnival feast of this day is still as clear as yesterday after many years!

In the following years, I went from teenager to middle age, but I never experienced the atmosphere of Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown. Even on the Dragon Boat Festival in 20 10, the Yunxian government held a grand dragon boat banquet for the Liao and Wa immigrants who were about to move far away, but I couldn't come to the scene because of my work. Later, I learned that those immigrants who were about to leave their hometown were in tears when they stared at the dragon boat race at the finish line, and then they cried at the scene.

Because of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, all Hanjiazhou people moved to Zaoyang as a whole, leaving a dragon boat that could not be moved, bearing the homesickness of generations. It is said that from then on, every year on the fourth day of May, those Hanjiazhou people who are far away from their hometown will come back spontaneously, some will row dragon boats, and then row dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival, which may be the last fate between immigrants and their hometown.

20 17 Dragon Boat Festival, I took my youngest son, brother-in-law and sisters back to my hometown. But this is far from the grand occasion of dragon boat race in my memory! In the past, the dragon boat with the dragon's tail turned into a long and narrow dragon boat, and even the sound of gongs and drums became the sound of gongs and drums. I watched it from a distance for a while, full of loneliness, and only an unspeakable feeling filled my heart instantly. ...

The Dragon Boat Festival is held every year, year after year, and this year's Dragon Boat Festival is just around the corner. There is a scene of dragon boat racing when I was a child in my dream. The sound of "clang, clang, paddling yo, old, old, ho, ho" is pounding my heart and shaking endlessly. ...
