【正文】 　　Among the traditional Chinese festivals, my favorite is the Dragon Boat Festival. Because I like zongzi very much.　　On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, you can hear the clear and loud cry of the staff in the supermarket: “sell zongzi, sell zongzi, sweet and delicious zongzi, e and buy it!” All the customers were attracted to choose their favorite rice dumplings of various flavors. The checkout area in the supermarket was also lined up in a long line. Everyone was carrying a big bag with a satisfied smile. Back home, the sound of pots and pans crashing came from the neighbors’ kitchen, like a wonderful song. It turned out that they were making zongzi at home.　　My mother and I prepared all the materials and began to make zongzi. We first wash the Zong leaves and cook them for four or five minutes. After cooking, let the Zong leaves cool, and then scrub the glutinous rice. Then fold the two Zong leaves into a funnel and put a small amount of glutinous rice. When the glutinous rice is loaded into half of the funnel, put in my favorite meat stuffing. Finally, cover a layer of glutinous rice, press the glutinous rice firmly, wrap the Zong leaves tightly with a rope, and a zongzi will be wrapped. We put the wrapped zongzi into the pot and steam it for twenty or thirty minutes. After a while, I smelled a tempting aroma, and my mouth was watering. I really want to eat quickly.　　The Dragon Boat Festival is really an unforgettable Festival. I look forward to the arrival of this year’s Dragon Boat Festival.　　June 8 of this year is the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the Chinese people have the custom of eating zongzi. The fragrance of zongzi leaves wafts from every kitchen.　　　　When I was young, I couldn’t make zongzi. When I was 8 or 9 years old, I began to learn to make zongzi from my grandparents. Look at me! First take four long Zong leaves, dip them with some water, then roll them into a funnel shape, put glutinous rice and dates in the funnel, and wrap them with Zong leaves. I tried to wrap more than a dozen of them. After wrapping them, I put them in a pressure cooker, turn on the gas, and cook them for about half an hour. When the dumplings are cooked, a faint fragrance es to your nostrils. Take a dumpling, peel it, and eat it. It’s fragrant and sweet! You want to eat more after you eat one.　　Zongzi is delicious, but do you know the origin of the custom of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival? It is said that after Qu Yuan’s death, the people of the state of Chu were very sad and rushed to the Miluo River to pay tribute to Qu Yuan. The fishermen rowed their boats and fished his real body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out rice balls, eggs and other food prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river “plop, plop”. He said that if the fish dragons, shrimps and crabs were full, they would not bite Dr. Qu’s body.　　People followed suit. An old doctor took a jar of realgar wine and poured it into the river. He said that he wanted medicine to stun the dragon and water animals so as not to hurt doctor Qu. Later, for fear that the rice balls would be eaten by the Jiaolong, people came up with the idea of wrapping rice with neem leaves, wrapped with colored silk, and developed into brown seeds.　　Later, on the fifth day of May every year, there were customs of dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine。 To memorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. 初中生端午節(jié)英語日記【10篇】
