　　Of all the festivals in China, Dragon Boat Festival is my favorite. Whenthe Dragon Boat Festival comes, not only the family will pack the zongzi, butsome communities or units will organize the group to carry on the game ofzongzi. Many water towns will organize a dragon boat race, which is magnificentand spectacular. 　　

　　When I was young, my mother told me that the Dragon BoatFestival in the 5th day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar wasfirst to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, which gradually took theday as a holiday. My father told me that Qu Yuan is a Chu state living in thepast 20__ years. He is a great poet and patriot and a loyal minister. In orderto the people can live a happy life, he dared to point out the king was thewrong thing to do, so the old people loved him. But when the new king came topower, he was unconscious, and did not listen to Qu Yuan's advice and claim, andlost an important battle with the state of Qin. The state of Chu was occupied bythe state of Qin. After Qu Yuan heard the news, he died in the Miluo river. Thelocal people are afraid that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuan's body, sothey can put rice dumplings and other food into the river. After the death of QuYuan, the local legend went to the sky on a dragon boat. It was at the beginningof May each year five Dragon Boat Festival, dumplings, dragon boat racing hasbecome an important activity. 　　

　　In China, people like Dragon Boat Festival verymuch. Now people in the city are busy with their own work, so they can't selltheir zongzi Festival, so they go to various supermarkets to buy. In thesupermarket there are many types of dumplings, rice dumplings with bacon,candied dumplings, dumplings and so on, very much the pattern. After thedumplings are cooked in a pot, open the lid of the pot and smell it. It is fullof the fragrance of the dumplings in the house, tasting a mouthful, and thesweet 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 frontof the leading high, vivid. The whole dragon boat was narrow and long. There wasa big drum in front, and one after another sat a lot of strong young men. Withthe sound of the drums, they paddled neatly on the surface of the water. For awhile, splashing, drums, voice and the sound of refueling on the riverbank werecoming up. The scene was magnificent and spectacular. 　　

　　I like the Dragon BoatFestival, not only because it can eat delicious zongzi, see the wonderful dragonboat race, and more like its historical connotation. Every time I pass theDragon Boat Festival, I can always think of Qu Yuan, think of his slamming andlong sword, reciting "Li Sao" in the mouth, walking between the rivers andlakes, his loyalty and perseverance. His literary grace influences thegeneration of Chinese. If we compare traditional Chinese festivals to a piece ofsilk with jewels, then the Dragon Boat Festival is a bright pearl on thesilk.
