When the warm wind of May blows through the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and when the green rice dumpling leaves sway in front of every house, we know that it is the Dragon Boat Festival again. This ancient and vibrant festival not only carries the memory of Qu Yuan, but also contains profound cultural connotations and national emotions.

Zongzi, as a symbol of the Dragon Boat Festival, its aroma has already surpassed the meaning of food itself. Every grain of glutinous rice and every piece of rice dumpling leaf is wrapped in the memory of Qu Yuan and the deep love for the country. Qu Yuan's poems such as "Li Sao" and "Heavenly Questions" still inspire us to pursue truth and justice. In the process of making zongzi, we seem to be talking to the ancients and feel the persistence and loyalty. The layers of rice dumpling leaves are like pages of history, recording the joys and sorrows of the Chinese nation, carrying the yearning for a better life and concern for the fate of the country.

Dragon boat racing is another important activity of the Dragon Boat Festival. The drums beat, the water splashed, and the athletes on the dragon boat waved their oars like flying, showing their spirit of unity, cooperation and courage. This is not only a sports competition but also a spiritual baptism. It tells us that no matter how great the difficulties we face, as long as we unite as one, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome. The dragon boats are like warriors cutting through the waves, moving forward bravely and fearlessly, symbolizing the indomitable and self-improvement spirit of the Chinese nation.

During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household hangs mugwort leaves in front of their doors and uses realgar wine to draw the word "王" on children's foreheads. These customs mean to ward off evil spirits, avoid epidemics, and pray for peace. The fragrance of mugwort leaves and the mystery of realgar are both the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients and the hope for health and happiness. The emerald green mugwort leaves and the scent of realgar express people's yearning for a better life and their wishes for the health of their families. They are unique symbols of the Dragon Boat Festival and treasures of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

Colorful silk threads are another bright color of the Dragon Boat Festival. The five colors of red, yellow, blue, white and black are intertwined together, symbolizing the interdependence of the five elements and implying good luck and longevity. They are tied around the children's wrists and convey the best wishes of the elders to the next generation. The colorful silk threads are like rainbows, connecting the past and the future, carrying hopes and dreams. They are a bright color of the Dragon Boat Festival and a treasure of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.

In this poetic and warm festival, let us feel every beauty of the Dragon Boat Festival with a grateful heart. Whether we are tasting the sweet rice dumplings, watching the exciting dragon boat race, or smelling the fragrance of mugwort leaves, we all have a deep understanding of the profoundness and endless vitality of Chinese culture. The Dragon Boat Festival is not only a festival, but also a cultural inheritance and spiritual sustenance. On this day, let us protect this tradition together and let it shine even brighter in the new era.
