Article 1: An 800-word essay for grade nine about the Dragon Boat Festival

The fifth day of May is the Dragon Boat Festival, one of the important traditional festivals in our country. I also know something about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival. It is said to commemorate Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems are widely popular among people. Therefore, in the field of folk culture, Chinese people associate the dragon boat racing and eating rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival with the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

This day is a festive day whether in the city or in the countryside. Not only can we enjoy sumptuous delicacies, but we can also enjoy the deep warmth of the festival.

Everyone knows that rice dumplings are the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival. Every household is preparing for the big project of making rice dumplings. Although my family didn't do it, I experienced the entire making process at my uncle's house a few days ago, which left me with endless aftertaste.

First put some glutinous rice and soak it overnight. At dawn, my cousins ??and I went to pick palm leaves. The palm trees have thin branches and large leaves. They grow in shady mountain valleys and grow very luxuriantly on one tree. After we carefully selected them, the bag became full after a while. Although the mountain road back was a bit bumpy, we still walked briskly in the natural scenery of green water, green mountains, gurgling streams, and the fragrance of birds and flowers in the forest.

In the afternoon, we carried out the activity of making rice dumplings. A large pot of raw glutinous rice, a pot of fragrant pork and peanuts, and a few thin white ropes hung on the chair for wrapping and saving space. My cousins ??and I were all eager to try it, so we followed suit and learned a bit. Usually they are triangular rice dumplings, but new patterns can also be made, such as long and miniature ones. One by one, the zongzong branches are tied tightly in the air, four in a small bunch, and eight or sixteen in a big bunch. The strings of rice dumplings were placed in the big iron pot and burned for a long time before the fragrant rice dumpling fragrance slowly came out from the pot. We wandered in the kitchen, looked around, swallowed hard, and kept talking about how many we were going to eat later. We had to eat enough! The lid of the pot was finally opened, and the aroma of the rice dumplings came to my face. I ate one after another. We are all filled with holiday joy. Complete Diary

Today, I also tasted the rice dumplings sent by various families, each with its own flavor and variety. Lunch is the highlight of the festival. Zongzi still occupies the main position, with a large plate of zongzi in the middle, a green and black coat, four corners like rhombus, and a light green belt. The belt is tied with a loose knot, which can be loosened as soon as it is pulled out; if it is tied into a dead knot, it is called scolding rice dumplings - if you are in a hurry to eat but can't untie it, you scold it and break it. Next is Yong Tau Foo, which is an indispensable special dish in my family’s festivals. You may think it’s troublesome to make it on paper, but it’s actually not difficult. Add some spices to the minced pork, then make a small pit on the tofu, pinch the pork in, it is a fine product, and then put it in oil one by one and fry it, it will be as yellow as gold, and the aroma is even more tempting The people are so mouth-watering that they only have a few home-cooked dishes. Although this is not very rich, I am still very happy, feeling the strong festive atmosphere and the warmth of family.

On TV, some news about the city’s Dragon Boat Festival was also reported. What is novel is the "Zongzi King", which is placed in front of the hall for people to watch. Some people even hug it and feel its hugeness. It is reported that it can feed thousands of people. It is really refreshing. There are also the spectacular scenes of dragon boat racing, the roaring drums and the shouts of people, which create a wonderful picture of dragon boat racing.

The Dragon Boat Festival comes quietly from the waves of the Leiluo River. The waves thousands of years ago are like a drop of ink, dyeing the Chinese land into green like a palm leaf. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the process, the atmosphere, and the fun all left us with endless aftertaste.

Part 2: An 800-word composition for ninth grade about the Dragon Boat Festival

Whenever I touch on those words that describe the festive atmosphere, I always feel empty in my heart. I think that is a pity.

Growing up, I have never celebrated a very formal Dragon Boat Festival, and naturally I have no deep memories of it. In fact, I really long to spend a period of earth-colored festival time in the countryside, watching those characteristic dances, experiencing their unique customs, and admiring their national costumes. Suddenly I felt that it was a kind of happiness, purely natural, automatically filtering out the dust and smoke in the city, and it was an enjoyment that penetrated my heart. Are all these things that really happened, the unique memories of the Chinese nation, and the festivals created by our ancestors a fairy tale belonging to the motherland?

When I was celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival as a child, I always felt its presence when I saw the fragrant rice dumplings on the dinner table. Most of the rice dumplings wrapped in large dark green leaves are given by parents' workplaces. It is not surprising that in this era, almost no young people have "inherited" the way of remembering Qu Yuan left by their ancestors. When I was young, I once asked my mother about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, and she just smiled and roughly described it in nice Mandarin. Her tone was calm, but there was no twinkle in her eyes. I thought maybe this festival wasn't interesting enough for adults either.

I remember when I was in the fifth grade, my parents’ unit participated in the dragon boat race. The adults were all wearing bright red and green clothes, which were extremely gorgeous. I finally caught a hint of the atmosphere that the festival should have. Looking at the beautiful dragon boats chasing each other on the river, I shouted with excitement and became hoarse. Dad's team finally achieved good results. To celebrate, our family decided to have a nice meal, but somehow we walked into a high-end Western restaurant. Holding a fork and a knife, I really didn't have a good feeling about the food in front of me.

I imagined a family making rice dumplings in the kitchen, wrapped in the joy of the festival, and very busy. But after all, I have never had a Dragon Boat Festival like that, and I have always wanted to taste the rice dumplings made by myself.

Now, in the second grade of junior high school, when the Chinese teacher assigned this theme, I was surprised to find that there were too few memories about it in my mind. Even if the missing fragments were put together, they were only deep. It's a pity that the bright and beautiful childhood did not have special memories of the Dragon Boat Festival. In fact, I really wanted to shed tears while pouring out my memories, but I found nothing. Regarding holidays, my brain is filled with memories of Christmas, children, and Valentine’s Day. They are like colorful candy wrappers on the outside, but they are blank on the inside.

Sorry, teacher, I really have nothing to write down. In this colorful society, I forgot about this festival, and I didn’t even write down the date.

Now I want to have a decent Dragon Boat Festival, where the whole family is together and carefree. But when I look at today’s educational world, which seems to regard learning as everything, I think I may never be able to live the day I have dreamed of countless times. I smiled bitterly. Will the school be on vacation by then? It's holiday, won't there be any homework? Even if there is no homework, my parents will have free time to accompany me to the riverside to throw rice dumplings and talk about Qu Yuan? A lot of question marks, but no satisfactory answer.

Those lost beauties, I wonder if they will become my eternal search? I don’t want to be separated from the joy of the Dragon Boat Festival like this. Who can lead me, teach me to sing simple songs, and embrace me into the embrace of ancient Chinese culture...

Part 3 about the Dragon Boat Festival 800-word composition for ninth grade

In addition to eating rice dumplings, rowing dragon boats, hanging mugwort leaves on the door, etc. during the Dragon Boat Festival in the rural areas of southern Jiangxi, the medicinal herbs that are "medicine when they are green" are also quite attractive.

As we all know, the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the most important festival in summer, and it has been listed as a national statutory holiday since 20xx. According to the general tradition, it is believed that the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the patriotic poet Qu Yuan who died in the Miluo River in ancient times. But there is another theory: the Dragon Boat Festival originates from the taboo against evil days (also known as "poison days"). Because it is the fifth month of the lunar calendar, it is the time when epidemics are prevalent in midsummer, commonly known as the "evil month" (also known as the "poisonous moon"). The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is commonly known as the "evil day", which is the day when "all insects and hundreds of poisons are wiped out" traditional festival. In view of the evil month of May, active preventive measures will be taken among the people. Until now, traces of exorcism and avoidance of poison can be found in many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival. In the place where the Hakkas in southern Jiangxi live, on the days before the Dragon Boat Festival, there are rows of herbal medicines in the markets of various towns and villages: calamus, mugwort, bupleurum, hawthorn, kudzu, Aesculus aesculata, Sapata, pinellia, Houttuynia cordata, Zuosu, Uncaria, etc. are purchased in bundles by every household and are commonly used by writers. Many people also took this opportunity to buy some yams, small live snakes, centipedes, and pike, and then mixed them with Chinese patent medicines such as ginseng, wolfberry, eucommia, and Acanthopanax bark, and soaked them in high-strength white wine to make a unique household medicinal wine. It has miraculous effects on rheumatism and bruises. On the Dragon Boat Festival, every household hangs kudzu vines along the door at the door of the house, and inserts mugwort leaves, calamus, peach branches or grass thorns on both sides of the door, which means to dispel diseases and eliminate evil spirits. Many farmers prepare their own realgar wine at home, and the whole family takes turns sipping a little. Then, the elders in the family will spray the remaining realgar wine around the house, focusing on chicken coops, pig pens, thatch sides and other places, in order to prevent snakes. Legend has it that at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival, no matter where you are, just pick a blade of grass and imagine what disease it can cure, and it will be absolutely miraculous. Another most important activity during the Dragon Boat Festival is to take medicinal baths: boil calamus, big-leaf moxa, bupleurum, small hawthorn, kudzu, maple, slate vine, etc. into sauce-colored water, take a bath while it is hot, and then It cannot be washed with clean water either, as it is intended to wash away bad luck and improve health. Taking a potion bath with medicinal water during the Dragon Boat Festival is not only a Hakka custom, but also an inherent enjoyment of the festival, and it is also a kind of inheritance and edification of Hakka culture.

Herbs are expensive during the Dragon Boat Festival. The word "expensive" here does not mean price, but means expensive, valued, cherished and precious. Village women go up the mountains to collect medicinal herbs and sell them on the polder, not just for the few dollars. You see, you can buy baskets of chopped and dried honeysuckle vines for only 5 yuan. The collectors don't even have "temporary wages". Simple people work hard to collect the herbs from the mountains and streams. It is to allow those who do not have time to go to the mountains to collect medicinal herbs through their labor to invite the "medicine gods" into their homes to cure diseases and pain and achieve the state of cultivating virtues. Therefore, most of the medicinal herb traders at the polder port during the Dragon Boat Festival are not The price will be very high, and buyers don't need to push the price hard. After all, herbs are expensive during the Dragon Boat Festival. Selling is a promise, and buying is also a piety. In addition, there is a saying in the simple herbal totem of the Hakka people that herbs cannot be given away. If you do not pay for them, it means that you are not sincere and the medicine will not be effective.

It turns out that grandma made a mark on the zongzi leaves. Only she knows which zongzi has the jade in it. Grandma wants me to be happy and everything goes well!

Now I understand that all my grandma’s love for me is entrusted in that little rice dumpling. Smooth glutinous rice, salty egg yolk, delicate pork, and the light green jade are the taste of the Dragon Boat Festival.
