I smelled the fragrance of zongzi from a distance. It was really greedy! We children can’t wait to taste it. Wow, it’s so hot. It burns our tongue. We’re really anxious and can’t eat hot tofu!　　The customs of my hometown! The rice dumplings we made ourselves have gathered a feeling that we can’t give up　　The Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional festival in China, is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. The main customs of the Dragon Boat Festival are: eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, hanging Acorus calamus and Wormwood Leaves, drinking realgar wine, etc... I heard my father say that the Dragon Boat Festival is to memorate the great poet Qu Yuan, who was from the state of Chu. When the country was in danger, he was sad, angry and melancholy, and finally threw himself into the river to die. Kind people wrapped many delicious zongzi in order not to let the fish and shrimp in the river eat his body, Throw it into the river.　　The custom has continued to this day. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Dechang street, my hometown, is lively. People e and go in the street. Many villagers dig a lot of herbs from the mountains and fill the whole Xinhua street with herbs. My mother and I bought some herbs, including Sophora flavescens, Artemisia annua and Acer truncatum... My mother said that these herbs are used to take a bath. After taking a bath, there will be no prickles, sores and mosquitoes. After buying herbs, my mother and I went home together. On the way home, I saw many people hang Acorus calamus and Wormwood Leaves at the door of their home. Acorus calamus and wormwood leaves can repel mosquitoes and insects and evil spirits. Some people also drink realgar wine. Mother said that drinking realgar wine can cure diseases. If you sprinkle realgar wine on the door, insects and snakes will not be able to get in.　　In the afternoon, my family sat around the table and wrapped zongzi. I ran around to get zongzi leaves and ropes for them, not to mention how happy I was. I think the Dragon Boat Festival is really interesting.　　The Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth day of may in the lunar calendar every year, reminds me of Quyuan when it es to the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said that Quyuan was wronged on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. He threw himself into the Guluo river with a stone in his arms. The local people immediately rowed to save Quyuan until there was no body in the Dongting Lake. In order to prevent Quyuan from being eaten by fish, every family wrapped zongzi and threw them into the river. Later, in order to memorate him, people rowed dragon boats and ate zongzi to memorate the patriotic poet Quyuan.　　I remember last year, my parents and I went to my uncle’s house for the Dragon Boat Festival and saw “l(fā)ittle pearls” piled into a hill. I understood that my aunt was making zongzi. I saw that she first folded the cleaned zongzi leaves into an “egg Jane” shape, revealing “big leaves”. Then put the glutinous rice into the “egg slips”, stuff it with meat, and then stack it with chopsticks. Finally, fold the zongzi into a dog’s head shape and tie it up with a rope. In this way, a zongzi is wrapped. It seems very simple. I began to do it. I learned the steps of my aunt’s making zongzi. Finally, I wanted to tie it tightly. The border found that rice grains were like children. They didn’t listen to me and jumped out one after another. I practiced several times and failed, so I had to give up.　　After a while, my aunt cooked the wrapped zongzi in a pot.
