Composition on the custom of Huaining Dragon Boat Festival

For your reference, modify yourself. 1 The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the traditional festivals in China. It started in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has a history of more than 2, years. Dragon boat race is the main custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, people who originated in the ancient state of Chu were reluctant to part with the death of Qu Yuan, a sage, and many people rowed to catch up and save. They scrambled to catch up with each other and disappeared when they reached Dongting Lake. After that, I will row a dragon boat on May 5th every year to commemorate it. Dispel the fish in the river by rowing dragon boats, so as not to eat Qu Yuan's body. The habit of racing is prevalent in Wu, Yue and Chu. In fact, "Dragon Boat Race" existed as early as the Warring States Period. Carving a dragon-shaped canoe in the drums and playing a race game are semi-religious and semi-entertaining programs in the ceremony to entertain the gods and people. Later, in addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, people in various places also gave different meanings to dragon boat races. Dragon boat rowing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is of great significance to commemorate Qiu Jin, a local-born modern female democratic revolutionary. On the night dragon boat, the lights are decorated, the shuttle is going back and forth, and the scene is moving and interesting. The Miao people in Guizhou hold "Dragon Boat Festival" from May 25th to 28th in the lunar calendar to celebrate the success of transplanting rice seedlings and wish a bumper harvest. Yunnan Dai compatriots are racing dragon boats at the Songkran Festival to commemorate the ancient hero Yan Hongwo. Different nationalities and regions have different legends about dragon boat rowing. Until today, in many areas in the south that face rivers, lakes and seas, dragon boat races with their own characteristics are held every year. In the 29th year of Qing Qianlong (1736), Taiwan Province began to hold dragon boat races. At that time, Jiang Yuanjun, the magistrate of Taiwan Province, hosted a friendly match in Banyuechi, Hokkeji, Tainan City. Now Taiwan Province holds a dragon boat race on May 5th every year. In Hong Kong, races are also held. In addition, dragon boat rowing was first introduced to neighboring countries such as Japan, Vietnam and Britain. In 198, dragon boat race was included in the national sports competition in China, and the "Qu Yuan Cup" dragon boat race was held every year. On June 16th, 1991 (the fifth day of the fifth lunar month), the first International Dragon Boat Festival was held in Yueyang, Hunan, China, Qu Yuan's second hometown. Before the race, a "dragon head festival" was held, which not only preserved the traditional ceremony but also injected new modern factors. The "dragon head" was carried into the Quzi Temple, and after the athletes "painted red" the dragon head (wearing a red ribbon), the priest read out the sacrificial rites and "lit up" the dragon head (that is, lit it up). Then, all the people who participated in the dragon festival bowed three times, and the dragon head was carried to the Guluo River and rushed to the dragon boat race. More than 6, people participated in the competitions, fairs and party activities, which is unprecedented. Since then, Hunan has regularly held the International Dragon Boat Festival. Dragon boat race will be widely spread all over the world. Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of China people. Zongzi, also known as "corn millet" and "zongzi". It has a long history and various patterns. According to Records of the Historian "Biographies of Qu Yuan and Jia Sheng", Qu Yuan was a minister of Chu Huaiwang in the Spring and Autumn Period. He advocated the promotion of talents and empowerment, made Qiang Bing rich, and urged the joint efforts against Qin, which was strongly opposed by Zilan and others. Qu Yuan was forced to leave his post, was driven out of the capital, and was exiled to Yuan and Xiang basins. During his exile, he wrote immortal poems such as Li Sao, Tian Wen and Jiu Ge, which are of unique style and far-reaching influence (hence, Dragon Boat Festival is also called Poet's Day). In 278 BC, Qin Jun conquered Kyoto, Chu. Qu Yuan's heart ached at the sight of his motherland being invaded, but he couldn't bear to give up his motherland all the time. On May 5th, after writing his masterpiece Huai Sha, he threw himself into the Miluo River and died, writing a magnificent patriotic movement with his own life. Legend has it that after Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay their respects to Qu Yuan. Fishermen rowed boats and fished for his real body back and forth on the river. A fisherman took out rice balls, eggs and other foods prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river "plop, plop", saying that the ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs were full and would not bite the doctor's body. People followed suit after seeing it. An old doctor took an altar of realgar wine and poured it into the river, saying that it was necessary to stun the dragon water beast with medicine so as not to hurt Dr. Qu. Later, for fear that rice balls would be eaten by dragons, people came up with the idea of wrapping rice with neem leaves and wrapping them with colored silk to develop them into brown seeds. After that, on the fifth day of May every year, there was the custom of dragon boat racing, eating zongzi and drinking realgar wine. In memory of the patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Children wear sachets on the Dragon Boat Festival, which is said to have the meaning of avoiding evil spirits and expelling plague. In fact, it is used to decorate the inner head. The sachet contains cinnabar, realgar and fragrant medicine, wrapped with silk cloth, which is full of fragrance, and then tied with five-color silk threads to form a rope, making a string of different shapes, all kinds of exquisite and lovely. A folk proverb says, "Willows are inserted in Qingming Festival, and Ai is inserted in Dragon Boat Festival". On the Dragon Boat Festival, people regard inserting wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents. Every family sweeps the court, putting calamus and moxa sticks in the eyebrows and hanging them in the hall. Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Liuhua, Garlic and Dragon Boat Flower are made into human or tiger shapes, which are called Ai Ren and Ai Hu. It is made into garlands and ornaments, which are beautiful and fragrant, and women compete to wear them to drive away evil. Ai, also known as Ai and Artemisia argyi. Its stems and leaves all contain volatile aromatic oils. Its peculiar fragrance can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. In traditional Chinese medicine, moxa is used as medicine, which has the functions of qi and blood, warming uterus and eliminating cold and dampness. Processing mugwort leaves into "moxa wool" is an important medicinal material for moxibustion treatment. Acorus calamus is a perennial aquatic herb, and its long and narrow leaves also contain volatile aromatic oil, which is a medicine for refreshing, invigorating bones, eliminating stagnation, killing insects and sterilizing. It can be seen that the ancients inserted Artemisia argyi and Acorus calamus to have a certain disease prevention effect. Dragon Boat Festival is also a "health festival" handed down from ancient times. On this day, people sweep the courtyard, hang mugwort, hang calamus, sprinkle realgar water, drink realgar wine, stir up turbidity, remove rot, sterilize and prevent diseases. These activities also reflect the fine traditions of the Chinese nation. Collecting herbs on the mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival is a custom shared by all countries and nationalities in our country. China is really an ancient civilization, and a Dragon Boat Festival has such profound significance. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, we eat zongzi, dragon boat races, hanging mugwort leaves, and I like to watch the dragon boat races best. This competition is not to compete for who is the first water, but to show their skillful skills and beautiful posture in front of the audience. Let me talk about zongzi first. Zongzi is made of dark green reed leaves wrapped with glutinous rice and dates. After cooking, I peeled off the reed leaves and saw that the rice ball seemed to be inlaid with a few bright red agates, which was very beautiful. The taste of zongzi is delicious, and the reed leaves are fragrant. Take a bite of zongzi, which is sweet but not greasy. Zongzi also has a long story. Legend has it that zongzi is eaten in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan wrote many famous poems and put forward many patriotic political opinions in his life, but the king did not adopt them. Later, when the king fell, he jumped into the river and killed himself. The people still miss him and admire him. For more than two thousand years, people have thrown zongzi into the river as a sacrifice to poets. This is the origin of zongzi. Yes, during the Dragon Boat Festival, how can people forget the great poet Qu Yuan? A folk proverb says, "Willows are inserted in Qingming Festival, and Ai is inserted in Dragon Boat Festival". On the Dragon Boat Festival, people regard inserting wormwood and calamus as one of the important contents. Every family sweeps the court, putting calamus and moxa sticks in the eyebrows and hanging them in the hall. Acorus calamus, Folium Artemisiae Argyi, Liuhua, Garlic and Dragon Boat Flower are made into human or tiger shapes, which are called Ai Ren and Ai Hu. It is made into garlands and ornaments, which are beautiful and fragrant, and women compete to wear them to drive away evil. Ai, also known as Ai and Artemisia argyi. Its stems and leaves all contain volatile aromatic oils. Its peculiar fragrance can repel mosquitoes, flies, insects and ants and purify the air. In traditional Chinese medicine, moxa is used as medicine, which has the functions of qi and blood, warming uterus and eliminating cold and dampness. Processing mugwort leaves into "moxa wool" is an important medicinal material for moxibustion treatment. Hope to adopt, O(∩_∩)O Thank you.
