When I was five years old, I spent a Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown in Hunan. That morning, my father took me to watch the dragon boat race. Before I got to the river, I heard gongs and drums in the distance, which was very lively. When you look closer, the colorful flags on the river are fluttering, and the shore is crowded with people. Five dragon boats are lined up in the river, and the rowers are gearing up. At the beginning of the official competition, only one shot was heard, and five dragon boats sailed forward like five arrows, chasing each other and vying for each other. Cheers, gongs and drums, cheers ... very lively.
At this time, it began to rain in Mao Mao in the sky, but people didn't care at all and were completely immersed in the ocean of joy. In the cheers of people, a dragon boat rowed to the end, and the laughter and cheers were even louder.
I saw people watching from the shore throwing zongzi and eggs into the river. I asked strangely, "Dad, what are they doing? Why do they throw good zongzi into the water? " Dad said: "Dragon boat racing originated in ancient times. Chu people could not bear to part with the sage Qu Yuan and died by throwing himself into the river. Many people rowed to catch up and save. They scrambled to catch up with Dongting Lake, but there was no trace. From now on, I will row a dragon boat every May 5th to commemorate him. Row a dragon boat to drive away the fish in the river, and at the same time throw zongzi and other food to the fish to prevent the fish from eating Qu Yuan's body. " I like the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown. Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in our hometown, deserves our eternal memory.
