whats your plan for dragon boat festival?

As a chinese, I was really ashamed of having a little knowledge of dragon boat festival. Perhaps I was born in northern city, though my city is nearby sea, it has been built a U port which I can only see cargo ships and cant see the sweeping ocean. So I have never see the dragon boat contest since I was born. So the dragon boat festival is just a holiday for eating Zong Zi. My mother made Zong Zi when I was a child. Because there was no supermarket, we couldnt buy finished product from market. However, now, we can buy anything in supermarket, so my mother didnt make them anymore. The boat festival began to fade out my mind.

In reality, young people began to have a bug to celebrate foreign festivals, such as Christams, Saint Valentines day, April Fools Day, some people also celebrate Easter in church. Talk about Dragon boat festival, its the same as some foreign conventional festivals, such as Witchs Day in Czech. People burned the witchs puppet so as to welcome spring. Some people are willing to celebrate foreign festivals because they like alien culture. And vice versa, foreigners who like China also concern about Chinese traditional culture.

After new holiday regulation, we have three holidays during the dragon boat festival. So many people will choose this time to travel. People who lived in Xiamen are able to visit Xiapu or Wu Yi mountain, these tourist attractions are in Fujian province,which is suit a short tirp. but Id like to stay at home for my decorate painting. I decide to draw two canvases about Christmas, its really a big project. Then Ill hang them on the new house wall. I must start it now, or I cant finish them before Christmas eve. But I preceive its a little difficult to draw them in such a hot season. ​

你的端午节计划是什么?

作为一个中国人，我对端午节有点了解真是惭愧。也许我出生在北方城市，虽然我的城市在附近的海，它已经建立了一个U端口，我只能看到货船和无法看到席卷大海。所以我从出生起就再也没有见过龙舟比赛。所以端午节只是吃粽子的节日。当我还是个孩子的时候，我妈妈就做了粽子。因为没有超市，我们不能从市场上买到成品。然而，现在，我们可以买任何东西在超市，所以我的母亲没有让他们了。端午节开始淡出我的脑海。

在现实中，年轻人开始有了庆祝外国节日，如圣诞节、情人节、四月愚人节，也有些人庆祝复活节教堂。谈端午节，它同国外的一些传统节日，如巫婆的一天在捷克。人们焚烧巫婆木偶以迎接春天。有些人愿意庆祝外国节日，因为他们喜欢异族文化。反之亦然，外国人喜欢中国也关注中国传统文化。

经过新的假期规定，端午节期间我们有三个假期。所以很多人会选择这次旅行。住在厦门的人们都能够访问霞浦或吴仪山，这些旅游景点都在福建省，这是适合短期旅行。但我想呆在家里做我的装饰画。我决定画关于圣诞节的两画布，它真是一个大项目。然后我把它们挂在新房子的墙上。我必须现在开始，否则我不能在圣诞节前夕完成它们。但我认为其借鉴他们在这样一个炎热的季节，有点困难。

今年的端午节似乎与去年没什么不同。

外面下起了小雨，滴滴答答。这是在端午的前一天，早上，奶奶在桌上放了很多东西，准备包粽子。

以往的端午节，奶奶也像如此，总是起个大早，便开始包粽子。当然，包粽子这样好玩的事情，当然少不了我。

我在旁边静静看着奶奶包粽子。奶奶先把粽叶拿一片在手里，然后双手握住粽叶中部，向里边一裹，裹成了一个小圆锥形。旋转180度对着自己。然后奶奶把这个“小圆锥”放在右手上，捏紧交叉的地方，用小勺舀了一勺糯米放在果好的粽叶里，又放了一小块肉。最后奶奶把两边的叶子往里压。然后又在把粽子移到左手里。拿出线把粽子缠了起来，再打上一个结，粽子便包好了。

我学着奶奶的包法，勉勉强强包了几个叫耐看的粽子。粽子包好后，接着就是放进蒸炉里蒸了，没过多长时间，粽子蒸好了。老远都能闻到香味。

揭开锅盖，热气扑面而来，随即一股清香钻入鼻中。

我捏住捆粽子的线，将粽子慢慢提起来。粽子在我手中滚了一小圈，烫的我直跳，我吹了一会儿，粽子总算是凉了下来。

我把线剪开，小心翼翼的将叶子掀开，我再次吹了几下，慌忙咬了一口粽子。满嘴肉香，糯米咸咸的，软软的，我来不及仔细品尝，便再咬下一大口。呀!咬到了肉，我细细嚼了好几下，才咽下去。

吃完粽子后仍有香味留在口中。

粽香总会如期飘荡在端午这一天，祖祖辈辈怀念祭奠。

吃不完的粽子，道不完的情，我们一家人坐在桌前。轻轻剥开粽叶，话着家常，吃着粽子……

“五月五，是端阳。插艾叶，戴香囊。吃粽子，撒白糖。龙船下水喜洋洋端午节是我国的传统佳节，又称端午节、重阳节。

端午节的传统习俗之一就是包粽子、吃粽子。每年端午外婆就会包粽子，外婆早早的准备了踪叶、糯米、腿肉、香菇等，一切准备妥当，外婆开始包粽子，她就熟练地在手掌上铺上两片粽叶，卷成圆锥形、舀一勺糯米，在上面铺上肉、香菇、然后把它们压实压紧，把粽子裹紧，捆扎，一个漂亮的粽子“诞生”了。

放到高压锅里蒸上十几分钟，香喷喷的粽子就出锅了，包香喷喷的，让人垂涎欲滴。轻轻的解开包粽子的绳子，拨开它的“外衣”糯米的香味就撒发出来，咬下去还富有弹性，怎能不爱吃呢？

赛龙舟也是端午节的传统习俗，每当端午节，沙溪河上都要举行划龙舟比赛。几十个水手都拿着浆，用全身的力气划了起来，远远望去还真像几条龙在快速的游动，擂鼓的水手气势高昂，有节奏地敲着鼓点，观众们都热烈地喊“加油！加油！”几条龙船的气势真是壮观。

在我们的家乡，端午节还要吃“五黄”，黄鱼、黄瓜、咸鸭蛋黄、黄豆瓣包的粽子，雄黄酒。家家户户的大门上要插“五端”。菖蒲、艾草、石榴花、蒜头、龙船花。

吃粽子、赛龙舟、吃“五黄”插“五端”这几样传统习俗，共同编织了一个热热闹闹的端午节！

We all know that the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival! In my home, grandma will always be busy making zongzi.

In a few days, grandma will go to the supermarket to buy glutinous rice and rice dumplings, then put the dumplings in the pot to boil, and then brush them out with the brush, and wait until the Dragon Boat Festival day to bring the dumplings.

On the day of Dragon Boat Festival, my mother and I were still asleep. Grandma was calling zongzi. Grandma had prepared several kinds of stuffing, including jujube, peas and pork. I like jujube most, but my mother likes nothing to eat. "Do it!" Grandma said. My mother and I smiled, because my mother is the first time I have zongzi, certainly not the package. But I still want to learn from my grandmother and try it before I know it.

My mother and I pick up their leaves, according to grandma taught step by step. Because it was the first time to make zongzi, and the mother smiled and said, "how do we do it? It looks like a simple one. Its stupid to do it." I listened, looked at the shapeless dumpling in my mothers hands, and laughed loudly, just like mine. No corner of the corner, Mrs. Grandma encouraged us: "the first is not good, the second will surely improve." In this way, mother is better than a bag, but I still havent learned it.

I will not cook zongzi to cook zongzi, I will put the dumplings wrapped by grandma in the pot, add water, and then burn it up. After a while, a zongzi fragrance floated out, Im waiting for my favorite dumplings dates. I had an unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival. I wish I could be happy every year.

农历五月初五，是中国民间的传统节日——端午节，它是中华民族古老的传统节日之一。端午也称端五，端阳。此外，端午节还有许多别称，如：午日节、重五节，五月节、浴兰节、女儿节，天中节、地腊、诗人节、龙日等等。虽然名称不同，但总体上说，各地人民过节的习俗还是同多于异的。

过端午节，是中国人二千多年来的传统习惯，由于地域广大，民族众多，加上许多故事传说，于是不仅产生了众多相异的节名，而且各地也有着不尽相同的习俗。其内容主要有：女儿回娘家，挂钟馗像，迎鬼船、躲午，帖午叶符，悬挂菖蒲、艾草，游百病，佩香囊，备牲醴,赛龙舟，比武，击球，荡秋千，给小孩涂雄黄，饮用雄黄酒、菖蒲酒，吃五毒饼、咸蛋、粽子和时令鲜果等，除了有迷信色彩的活动渐已消失外，其余至今流传中国各地及邻近诸国。有些活动，如赛龙舟等，已得到新的发展，突破了时间、地域界线，成为了国际性的体育赛事。

关于端午节的由来，说法甚多，诸如：纪念屈原说;纪念伍子胥说 ;纪念曹娥说;起于三代夏至节说;恶月恶日驱避说，吴月民族图腾祭说等等。以上各说，各本其源。据学者闻一多先生的《端午考》和《端午的历史教育》列举的百余条古籍记载及专家考古考证，端午的起源，是中国古代南方吴越民族举行图腾祭的节日，比屈原更早。但千百年来，屈原的爱国精神和感人诗辞，已广泛深入人心，故人们“惜而哀之，世论其辞，以相传焉”，因此，纪念屈原之说，影响最广最深，占据主流地位。在民俗文化领域，中国民众把端午节的龙舟竞渡和吃粽子等，都与纪念屈原联系在一起。

时至今日，端午节仍是中国人民中一个十分盛行的隆重节日
