"Somewhere feet is short of and the inch might be longer. Everything has its shortcoming and a wise man doesn’t understand sometimes. " The words were from Qu Yuan's "ChuCi·Buju". While reading this poem, the Dragon Boat Festival in my memory is coming quietly. I haven't seen a dragon boat race , but I am also full of expectations for the exquisite little Zongzi and the round eggs.
What does the Dragon Boat Festival in your memory look like? Is there any red, yellow, blue, white, and black thread tied to your neck, wrist or ankle? This is called a longevity strand. Have you planted "five-end" calamus, wormwood, pomegranate flowers, garlic, and dragon boat flowers in your home? Dragon boat racing and eating Zongzi are probably the main activities of the Dragon Boat Festival, right?
In legends, the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival was to rescue the patriotic poet Qu Yuan who had cast the Miluo River. Throwing Zongzi into the river is to feed the fish and shrimp to stop them eating Qu Yuan's remains. However, the southern scholar Wen Yiduo believes that the Dragon Boat Festival is the Dragon Festival, which was a festival commemorating the Dragon God by southern minorities four to five thousand years ago. Of course, some people say it is a festival to commemorate Wu Zixu. We also eat Zongzi and cattail wormwood in Ningbo! !
In fact, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival has its own rhetoric, but it does not affect it has long been deep in our soul. Just like the steaming Zongzi that just came out of the cage, that tangy aroma, entering into the heart, lingers in the mouth and ears, and has been passed on from generation to generation.
