In this way, the green spirit of the leaves can be removed, the flexibility of the leaves can be increased, and they won’t break when making zongzi. When everything is ready, we begin to make zongzi. Grandma overlapped the two Zong leaves slightly and put them in her left hand. She took out an appropriate amount of glutinous rice with her right hand and spread it evenly in the center of the Zong leaves. Then she put honey dates and peanuts. The two foods point to the middle to protect the glutinous rice, roll it to a semi cylindrical shape, fold the leaves on both sides to the middle and roll it again, wrap it tightly with thread, and a round zongzi will be wrapped. I also learned from my grandmother and wrapped it. It looks easy to make zongzi, but it’s hard to make it! The rice dumplings I made were either broken rice or holes. It was not easy to make perfect and beautiful dumplings. Wait until all the dumplings are wrapped, put them into the pressure cooker, cook for more than an hour, and then you can eat them.　　Eating sweet zongzi, my grandfather told us the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival: Qu Yuan, the great poet of the state of Chu in the Warring States period, was upright, worried about the country and the people, and devoted himself to the reform and strengthening of the country, but he was repeatedly slandered and persecuted by villains. In addition, King Huai of Chu was ignorant and loyal, and Qu Yuan, who was full of loyalty and love for the people, finally fell into the Miluo River on the fifth day of may in grief, anger and despair. After Quyuan threw himself into the river, people threw zongzi into the river in a dragon boat to drive away fish and shrimp in order to prevent fish and shrimp from eating his body. Since then, every Dragon Boat Festival, people have the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats in memory of Qu Yuan.　　On this Dragon Boat Festival, I ate zongzi made by myself and listened to Grandpa talk about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. What a harvest!　　In ancient times, Quyuan died in the river with injustice. His integrity shocked the world. In order to memorate him, people designated this day as the Dragon Boat Festival. With the passage of time, all kinds of fancy and exciting games in the festival gradually evolved into a beautiful tradition. People rowed dragon boats on the sparkling light, listened to the rhythm of cheering, and ate fragrant zongzi, tea and eggs, At the same time, Qu Yuan’s tall body is fixed in everyone’s heart with the tradition!　　Back to reality　　Another year’s Dragon Boat Festival, in the morning, just got up, a smell of wormwood came to my nostrils, and the air was mixed with the unique flavor of the Dragon Boat Festival。 At noon, the unique zongzi spread a tempting taste. The fine lines of coffee color appeared magically on the white eggs. In this unique festival, everyone enjoyed a unique delicacy. Every family had a transparent smile on their face, and the happiness that was clearer than the rainbow bubbles floated from the bottom of their heart。 In the evening, walking with my mother in the crowded night market, perhaps it is the festive atmosphere emitted by this individual who constitutes a lively picture.　　This day has too many details, too many to say, too much harvest, and too many surprises. Of course, there are some regrets, which are enough for me to make up for slowly. On this day full of joys and sorrows, sweets and bitters, I prefer this unique festival atmosphere.　　The Dragon Boat Festival, a sad Festival, has turned into a joyful one. However, in addition to being happy, I think no matter who will never forget Quyuan, whom we memorate in our hearts. The clear water has cleared away the rumors. I suddenly feel that if he sees everything now, he will be in peace 家鄉(xiāng)的端午節(jié)英語日記
