Chinese traditional culture is rich and colorful, including tea ceremony, paper cutting, ancient painting, calligraphy and so on. But my favorite is the Dragon Boat Festival, which is one of the traditional festivals. Every time on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival, every family is ready to make zongzi. Why do you make zongzi? That was to test the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. It is said that there is another beautiful story about the Dragon Boat Festival! Once upon a time, there was a country where there was a minister named Qu Yuan beside the king. He was very smart and often offered advice to the king to defeat foreign countries and let the people live a peaceful life. But it didn’t last long. One day, a minister next to the king said to the king, “your majesty! Your majesty! Great things are bad! Great things are bad!” The king hurriedly asked, “Aiqing, what’s so urgent!” The minister said quickly, “Your Majesty, Qu Yuan betrayed you and joined hands with foreign countries to kill you.” When the king heard this, he was stunned and quickly sent someone to chase Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan ran to the front of a river and was desperate. He jumped into the river and died.

In the past, people thought that because of this, there would be all kinds of naming customs. Hanging wormwood, Changpu, drinking realgar wine and carrying sachets on the body can achieve the purpose of expelling insects and evil spirits. Everyone should know the story of Qu Yuan’s death in the Miluo River. He was a minister of the state of Chu in the Warring States period. He was full of patriotic enthusiasm and worried about his country all the time. However, the king of Chu disagreed with his reform policy, and Qu Yuan was exiled by his ministers. Finally, I finally embarked on the road of throwing myself into the river! In memory of the patriotic poet, people were afraid that his body would be eaten by fish and shrimp in the sea, so they wrapped rice in bamboo leaves and threw it into the river to feed the fish and shrimp. In the future, on May 5 every year, everyone will go to the river to memorate him. The tense situation of rowing with gongs and drums in those years has gradually evolved into t
