【正文】 ngtian, etc. it is a traditional festival of the Han people in China. The essential activities of this day gradually evolved into: eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, hanging Acorus calamus and Wormwood Leaves, fumigating Atractylodes, Angelica dahurica and drinking realgar wine. It is said that eating zongzi and dragon boat racing is to memorate Qu Yuan, so after liberation, the Dragon Boat Festival was named “poet’s Day” to memorate Qu Yuan. As for hanging Acorus calamus and Wormwood Leaves, fumigating Atractylodes, Angelica dahurica and drinking realgar wine, it is said to suppress evil.　　In memoration of Qu Yuan, this theory originated from the records of Wu Jun in the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty and Zongjing in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. It is said that Qu Yuan threw himself into the Guluo River on the fifth day of May. After his death, he was trapped by mosquito dragons. The world mourned it. On this day, he threw fivecolor silk zongzi into the water to drive away the dragons. It is also said that after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Guluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue after hearing the news. They went all the way to Dongting Lake and finally saw Qu Yuan’s body. At that time, it happened to be a rainy day, and the boats on the lake gathered together by the pavilion on the bank. When people learned that it was Dr. Qu who salvaged the virtuous minister, they set out again in the rain and scrambled to row into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to express their grief, people boated on the river, and then it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. It seems that eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival are related to the memoration of Qu Yuan, as evidenced by the poem “Dragon Boat Festival” written by Wenxiu of the Tang Dynasty: “the festival is divided into the Dragon Boat Festival. It is rumored that Qu Yuan is the source of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is worth laughing at the emptiness of the Chu River and can not wash the injustice of straight officials.”　　Various theories have emerged, and the theory of memorating Qu Yuan has the most extensive influence. Because of Qu Yuan’s great personality and excellent poetic skills, people are willing to attribute this anniversary to him.　　The Dragon Boat Festival es from the story of Qu Yuan: the patriotic poet Qu Yuan came up with a good idea to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but it was not adopted by the king. Instead, he was expelled from the palace. Qu Yuan was so angry that he jumped into the Miluo River. After learning this, the local fisherman rowed a small boat and scattered the rice in the bamboo tube to Qu Yuan in the Miluo River. After that, we changed the rice filled in bamboo tube into zongzi and the boat rowing into dragon boat racing to memorate Qu Yuan. Our whole family admired Qu Yuan very much. Therefore, our family celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival every year.　　The traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival is to eat zongzi. Our family has a real expert in making zongzi my mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, our family can eat delicious zongzi. Mother often said: zongzi wrapped with reed leaves is the most fragrant. Therefore, every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother makes zongzi with reed leaves. Before making zongzi, she first made preparations: put the leaves of reed in water and cook, and wash the prepared glutinous rice and jujube respectively. When the leaves of the reed cooled, she began to make zongzi. She first took three leaves and rolled them into a cone. Then she put a jujube, then put glutinous rice in it, and then put a few jujubes in the middle. Finally, she tied the leaves with thread and wrapped a zongzi. Her dumplings are fat and big, like old Buddha sleeping. After the dumplings are wrapped, my mother puts them in a pressure cooker to steam for 40 minutes, and then puts them for three or four hours to make them delicious, and then they can eat! The dumplings made by my mother are so fragrant that I will eat them as soon as I see them. Therefore, whenever I eat zongzi, I always eat a lot!　　After the Dragon Boat Festival, we should not only eat zongzi, but also race dragon boats! 有關端午節(jié)的英語日記【十篇】
