“吃粽子喽!”听到妈妈这么一喊，我急忙从房间里冲出来，原来今天是端午节，我们一家吃粽子。"Eat rice dumplings!" heard my mother shouted, I hurried out from the room, the original today is the Dragon Boat Festival, we eat a rice dumplings.粽子，在晋代时被正式定为端午节食品。它有很多种，其中最常见的是角粽，这种粽子是用深绿色的粽叶包上糯米，里面的馅有蜜枣、豆沙、鲜肉、火腿、蛋黄等营养丰富的食品，再煮熟，就了好吃的粽子。Dumplings, in the Jin Dynasty was officially designated as the Dragon Boat Festival food. It has many kinds, of which the most common is the corner dumplings, the dumplings is dark green Zongye wrap glutinous rice, the stuffing inside have dates, red bean paste, fresh meat, ham, egg yolk and so on nutrient rich food, cooked, the delicious dumplings.打开粽叶，就可以闻到一种粽叶的清香。咬一口下去，好家伙，真黏呀!还有一股糯米的香味，吃着吃着不由让我想起了屈原，这位委屈的大夫，最终还是投向了汨罗江，可他的形象却永远地留在人们心中。想着想着，粽子就吃完了，只留那些粽叶在桌上发出清香。Open the leaves, you can smell a fragrance of bamboo leaves. Bite bite down, Goodfellas, really sticky ah! And a scent of glutinous rice, eating eating is not made me think of Qu Yuan, the injustice of the doctor, eventually defected to the Miluo River, his image is forever in people heart. I think, the dumplings on the finish, leaving only those leaves fragrance issued on the table.粽子吃完了还能做，可屈原却一去不返。Eat dumplings can do, but Qu Yuan was gone.
Today， it is the Dragon Boat Festival。 My grandma and grandpa came to myhouse。 My grandmother said to me: "their families hang mugwort calamus， eatzongzi， go up the hill and pick green， and eat zongzi and make zongzi。 Early inthe morning， I followed my grandma pack up， first of all take out two pieces ofleaves， one large and one small learn to the appearance of the grandmother outof the corner， again a little bit on the folded Angle cone into the soakglutinous rice， some red bean paste， and glutinous rice was built。 I started tobe a little smug， thinking: it's hard for me to make a simple dumpling。 But whenI put the leaves back on， the glutinous rice was like a naughty child who didn'tlisten to my mands and jumped out in succession。 I was like a cat on hot brickstoday， fortunately， my grandma solution for me get some glutinous rice around abit， I breathed a sigh of relief， the in the mind of a heavy piece of rock。After a few setbacks， I finally got to the last step。 I took
the palm rope and wrapped it in a circle and then I gave it to mygrandmother。 It was then that I realized that zongzi was a handicraft work andit was very difficult to wrap up。
This time the Dragon Boat Festival can be really interesting， not only Iwill make dumplings， but also know that if there is a setback， I will also climbup and try again!
今日，是端午节。我的姥姥和姥爷来我家做客。姥姥跟我说：他们那家家户户都挂艾叶菖蒲，吃粽子，上山采青，食粽球，制粽。一大清早，我就跟着姥姥包了起来，首先拿出两片一大一小的粽叶，学着姥姥的样貌折出一角，再在折好的角筒上放入一点已浸泡好的糯米，塞上一些红豆沙，又用糯米盖得严严实实的。我开始有点沾沾自喜了，心想：简单的包粽子根本难不住我。可是当我再把粽叶盖好时，糯米就像一个顽皮的孩子似的不听我的使唤，接二连三地都跳了出来。我急得像热锅上的蚂蚁团团转，幸好姥姥替我解了围把一些糯米弄掉一点，我才舒了一口气，心里的一块沉重的大石头放了下来。我经过了一些小挫折，总算到了最终的一个步骤扎棕绳。粽子要包扎严实才好吃，所以我接过棕绳，把粽子捆了一圈又一圈，这才交给姥姥。这时我才明白包粽子是门手艺活儿，包起来十分不容易。
这次的端午节可真有意思，不但我会包粽子了，还明白如果遇到了挫折，还要爬起来从新尝试!
A Chinese holiday is gaining worldwide popularity
Some holidays are so much fun that they catch on outside of their culture。The most obvious example is probably Christmas， which is celebrated around theworld by people who aren't even Christian。 Similarly， in recent years， theDragon Boat Festival has moved beyond China to bee an international holidaycelebrated by people who may know little about the holiday's origins。
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of three major Chinese holidays， along withthe Spring and Moon Festivals。 Of the three， it is possibly the oldest， datingback to the Warring States Period in 227 B。C。 The festival memorates Qu Yuan， aminister in the service of the Chu Emperor。 Despairing over corruption at court，Qu threw himself into a river。 Townspeople jumped into their boats and tried invain to save him。 Then， hoping to distract hungry fish from his body， the peoplescattered rice on the water。
Over the years， the story of Qu's demise transformed into the traditions ofracing dragon boats and eating zongzi – a kind of rice wrapped in bamboo leaves。The races have certainly captured the imagination of people from all over theworld。 Every spring there are nearly 60 dragon boat races held outside of Chinain cities from Vancouver to Sydney， from Gdańsk， Poland to Cape Town， SouthAfrica。 Canada alone has nearly 50 dragon boat teams and Germany has nearly30。
So what is it about the Dragon Boat Festival that appeals to foreigners?“It's an unusual sport，” says one racer from Germany。 “It's not like everybody'sdoing it。 That's one of the reasons that there's such great team spirit in adragon boat team – everybody feels like we're doing something special。” And whatabout the zongzi? “Ehhh， they're not bad， I guess，” he says。 “Something of anacquired taste。 I just haven't really acquired it yet。”

Duanwu Festival (端午节, Duānwū Jié) is a traditional Chinese festival held on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese calendar. It is also known as the Double Fifth.[citation(引用;引证) needed] It has since been celebrated, in various ways, in other parts of East Asia as well. In the West, it's commonly known as Dragon Boat Festival.
The exact origins of Duan Wu are unclear, but one traditional view holds that the festival memorializes the Chinese poet Qu Yuan (c. 340 BC-278 BC) of the Warring States Period. He committed suicide by drowning himself in a river because he was disgusted by the corruption of the Chu government. The local people, knowing him to be a good man, decided to throw food into the river to feed the fish so they would not eat Qu's body. They also sat on long, narrow paddle boats called dragon boats, and tried to scare the fish away by the thundering sound of drums aboard the boat and the fierce looking carved dragon head on the boat's prow(船头).
In the early years of the Chinese Republic, Duan Wu was also celebrated as "Poets' Day," due to Qu Yuan's status as China's first poet of personal renown(名声名望).
Today, people eat bamboo-wrapped steamed glutinous(粘的) rice dumplings called zongzi (the food originally intended to feed the fish) and race dragon boats in memory of Qu's dramatic death.
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival of the han。 It is a veryimportant festival in our hometown， so every year the Dragon Boat Festival isvery busy。
The Dragon Boat Festival is the most indispensable， nature is zongzi， everyyear the grandmother of the Dragon Boat Festival and everyone will pack hundredsof big dumplings! There are many kinds of dumplings， such as reed leaves， bambooshoots， wild leaves and lotus leaves。 But our hometown is a lot of reeds， somost of them are wrapped in reeds。 First， grandma "rate the army" to pick reedleaves。 When picking reed leaves， a large family listens to grandmother's labortrumpet: "e on! A zongzi three leaf! Hundreds of zongzi thousands of pieces，hey， e on!" Listen to the drum of the "general"， "little soldier" more effort!After the reed leaves， just burn them。 But the preparation material is not sosimple， still have to go to the bazaar to buy the good red bean， the pork， thepeanut， the plate millet， the jujube and the glutinous rice， also buy the redline!
Of course， the most fun time is when you make zongzi。 When making zongzi，the man is responsible for cutting the meat into small pieces。 Women areresponsible for the washing of red beans and glutinous rice。 The child wasresponsible for washing the basin clean， and then putting the man's work in alarge basin。 The older people are in charge。 When everything is ready， thedumplings are started。 The adults are working harder， and the kids? Is playingin a side， always when the adults do not pay attention to， to steal a couple ofdates， mouth on the surface seems to be a little things didn't do， but in myheart secretly placent - because jujube is delicious!
The final step is boiled dumplings， grandpa always keep the temperature offire to grasp well， smell very sweet， very strong， if eating zongzi in thefirst， you can see the meat dumplings are always tender oil and see jujube ricedumplings are always the golden tender; The eight-treasure zongzi is alwaysdelicious， and we are cute。
Last year， my grandparents might have made zongzi， if they hadn't takencare of my uncle and aunt in yancheng。 I was suddenly "disgusted" with my uncle，aunt， who had a good economic condition， why not find a babysitter? Take myjoyful Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi all "take away"， I be so angry! Or missthe delicious dumplings!
端午节是汉族的传统节日。在我们的家乡算得上是个异常重要的节日，所以每年的端午节都过得异常热闹。
端午节最不可少的，自然是粽子，每年端午节外婆和大家都会包上几百个大粽子呢!包粽子虽然有很多种，比如芦苇叶、竹笋叶、菰叶、藕叶等。但我们的家乡是芦苇比较多，所以大多都用芦苇叶包了。首先，外婆“率兵”去采芦苇叶。采芦苇叶时，一大家子听着外婆的劳动号子：“加油!一个粽子三片叶子!上百个粽子几千片，嘿哟，加油!”听了“将军”的鼓劲，“小兵”们更加卖力了!采完芦苇叶，此刻只要将它们暴晒就行了。但准备材料可没有这么简单哟，还得去集市上买来上好的红豆、猪肉、花生、板粟、蜜枣与糯米，还要买红线呢!
当然，最好玩的时候还是包粽子的时候。包粽子时，男人负责把肉切成不大不小的块儿;女人负责洗红豆、糯米之类的;小孩负责把大盆洗干净，再把大人加工好的东西装在大盆里;而老人们则负责指挥。一切准备好之后，就开始包粽子了。大人们干得格外卖力，而小孩们呢?却在一旁玩着，总是在大人们不注意时，偷一两颗蜜枣往嘴里塞，表面上似乎一点儿事都没做，可心里却暗暗自喜——因为蜜枣太好吃了!
最终一步就是煮粽子，烧火的外公总是把火候把握的很好，味道很香、很浓，如果在第一时光内吃粽子，你看到的肉粽子总是嫩地流油，看到的蜜枣粽子总是金黄柔嫩;看到的八宝粽子总是很可口，我们可爱吃了。
去年，要不是为了去盐城替舅舅、舅妈照顾表哥，外公外婆可能在包粽子哩。我突然有些“厌恶”舅舅、舅妈，他们家的经济条件不错，为什么不找个保姆?把我的欢乐端午节和粽子都“夺走了”，我好生气呀!也好怀念那味香色美的粽子呀!
Today， I see a lot of zongzi at home。
My favorite food is jujube rice dumplings， I took a bite to eat， sweet，sticky， delicious， I ate and ask a mother: "why do you want to eat zongzitoday?" "Today is the fifth Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of may，" saidthe mother。 "eating zongzi is a tribute to the great poet qu yuan， and there isalso a place for the dragon boat race to memorate him。"
I eat the fragrant rice dumplings。 Understand the origin of the Dragon BoatFestival。
今日，我看见家里有很多粽子。
我最喜欢吃蜜枣粽子了，我吃了一口，甜甜的，黏黏的，真好吃，我边吃边问妈妈：“今日为什么要吃粽子呢?”妈妈说：“今日是五月初五端午节，吃粽子是为了纪念伟大的诗人屈原，还有的地方举行赛龙舟来纪念他。”
我吃着香喷喷的粽子。明白了端午节的来历。

Of all the festivals in China, Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. When the Dragon Boat Festival comes, not only the family will pack the zongzi, but some communities or units will organize the group to carry on the game of zongzi. Many water towns will organize a dragon boat race, which is magnificent and spectacular.When I was young, my mother told me that the Dragon Boat Festival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar was first to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, which gradually took the day as a holiday. My father told me that Qu Yuan is a Chu state living in the past 20xx years. He is a great poet and patriot and a loyal minister. In order to the people can live a happy life, he dared to point out the king was the wrong thing to do, so the old people loved him. But when the new king came to power, he was unconscious, and did not listen to Qu Yuan's advice and claim, and lost an important battle with the state of Qin. The state of Chu was occupied by the state of Qin. After Qu Yuan heard the news, he died in the Miluo river. The local people are afraid that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuan's body, so they can put rice dumplings and other food into the river. After the death of Qu Yuan, the local legend went to the sky on a dragon boat. It was at the beginning of May each year five Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings, dragon boat racing has become an important activity.In China, people like Dragon Boat Festival very much. Now people in the city are busy with their own work, so they can't sell their zongzi Festival, so they go to various supermarkets to buy. In the supermarket there are many types of dumplings, rice dumplings with bacon, candied dumplings, dumplings and so on, very much the pattern. After the dumplings are cooked in a pot, open the lid of the pot and smell it. It is full of the fragrance of the dumplings in the house, tasting a mouthful, and the sweet taste of the glutinous rice in the full mouth. Besides eating zongzi, people can also watch dragon boat racing. On the river, the dragon boat in front of the leading high, vivid. The whole dragon boat was narrow and long. There was a big drum in front, and one after another sat a lot of strong young men. With the sound of the drums, they paddled neatly on the surface of the water. For a while, splashing, drums, voice and the sound of refueling on the riverbank were coming up. The scene was magnificent and spectacular.I like the Dragon Boat Festival, not only because it can eat delicious zongzi, see the wonderful dragon boat race, and more like its historical connotation. Every time I pass the Dragon Boat Festival, I can always think of Qu Yuan, think of his slamming and long sword, reciting "Li Sao" in the mouth, walking between the rivers and lakes, his loyalty and perseverance. His literary grace influences the generation of Chinese. If we compare traditional Chinese festivals to a piece of silk with jewels, then the Dragon Boat Festival is a bright pearl on the silk.
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. It's stupid to do it." I listened, looked at the shapeless dumpling in my mother's 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 haven't 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, I'm waiting for my favorite dumplings dates. I had an unforgettable Dragon Boat Festival. I wish I could be happy every year.
Dragon Boat Festival is a Chinese traditional festival. It falls on the fifth day of May in the lunar calendar. A day before this festival, my mother and grandmother began to make zongzi. Of course, I would act as assistant. But it turned out that I was more of a hindrance than a help. When they finished, they started to cook them. This process needed a long time, because I could have them in the next day. Zongzi was very delicious. On the day of dragon boat festival, our family prepared for dinner after having breakfast. Everyone of my family will come back home for the solid diet. Chicken is indispensable on the dinner desk in Chinese traditional festival. There were many delicious foods, which made me watering. I ate lots of them. It is a wonderful festival.
