Quyuan's story composition 1 Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, we eat zongzi and race dragon boats. Are there any other legends about this custom?
Legend has it that Qu Yuan was a minister of Chu State. He advocated rich Qiang Bing to fight against the State of Qin, but was framed by traitors and dismissed and exiled. Later, Chu was occupied by Qin Jun, and Qu Yuan was so angry and desperate that he threw himself into the river on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. The local people are very sad to hear this because their patriotic adults have died. In order not to let Qu Yuan starve. The local people threw the cooked rice into the water on the fifth day of May.
So one year, two years have passed. Unexpectedly, one night people suddenly dreamed that Qu Yuan was coming. He also wears a tall hat on his head, a long sword around his waist, and some pearls and precious stones on his body. His face looks high, but he is a little worried. He said to everyone, "I appreciate your kindness, but the rice you gave me was eaten by fish, shrimp, turtles and mussels." I can't rob them! " Everyone asked, what can be done to prevent the aquarium from eating? Qu Yuan said, "You can wrap rice with bamboo and make corn millet. When the aquarium saw it, it thought that eating water chestnut might not be eaten. "
The next year, Qu Yuan gave people a dream and said, "Thank you for the corn you gave me. I ate some, but some of them were eaten by the aquarium. " Send corn by boat, and you can dress up the boat as Jackie Chan. All the animals in the aquarium belong to the Dragon King. As soon as they see that it is a gift from the Dragon King, they may be afraid to eat it.
Since then, the custom of making zongzi and racing dragon boats has been handed down.
Qu Yuan's Story Composition 2 During the Warring States Period around 340 BC, Qu Yuan was born into a noble family in Chu. He had great talent when he was young, and soon after he stepped into the court of Chu, he was appreciated and became a [left disciple], second only to the prime minister. However, Qu Yuan's idea of political reform never came true, and he was finally exiled. During his exile, he traveled to Hunan, Hubei and other places and wrote many poems full of patriotic feelings and people's concern. Later, when Chu died, Qu Yuan felt unspeakable pain, so he went to the Baltic River, picked up a stone and threw himself into the river.
After Qu Yuan's death, people built temples and tombs for him and admired and missed him for a long time. He died on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is regarded as a festival, namely the Dragon Boat Festival. There is a custom in Qu Yuan's hometown and in the vast areas of southern China. On this day, a grand dragon boat race will be held. It is said that rowing a dragon boat is to save Qu Yuan. People eat zongzi every year on Dragon Boat Festival, which is also said to be related to Qu Yuan. At first, people along the Boluo River wrapped rice into zongzi and threw it into the water to feed the fish, so they wouldn't eat Qu Yuan's body when they were full. Later, this custom spread all over the country, even to North Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
