Chapter 14 Dragon Boat Festival
"Hey! It's finally announced, it's great, it's time to hang out again! Su Min looked at the Dragon Boat Festival holiday information announced on her mobile phone, and she was very happy!
The dust finally settled on what she had been worried about for a long time, and the smile spread across her eyebrows.
The Dragon Boat Festival is one of the four traditional festivals in China, and has become one of the four traditional festivals of Chinese folk along with the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and also has a very high reputation overseas.
The Dragon Boat Festival was originally a festival for the ancient ancestors to sacrifice the dragon clan with dragon boat racing.
Later, because the patriotic poet Qu Yuan committed suicide by jumping into the river during the Dragon Boat Festival, people took the Dragon Boat Festival as a festival to commemorate Qu Yuan.
It's just that the fame of the Dragon Boat Festival has a lot to do with South Korea's application for the Gangneung Dragon Boat Festival as a World Heritage Site.
As soon as the news came out, major media rushed to report it, which also caused an uproar in China and caused people to reflect on traditional festivals.
For a time, the remarks that "the Dragon Boat Festival has become Korean" spread to all corners of China.
Later, there were remarks such as "Qu Yuan is Korean", "Confucius is Korean", "movable type printing was invented by Koreans", etc., which hit the hearts of every Chinese!
When Chinese people are pursuing foreign festivals, the protection and inheritance of traditional culture are weakening day by day. Although these boards are not a taste on the body, I have to say that this board is good!
Because of the dispute between China and South Korea, the people have been awakened to new thinking about the culture created by their ancestors, and the state has also increased the publicity and guidance of traditional cultural festivals.
In the fourth year after the successful application of South Korea for World Heritage Status, China successfully applied for the Dragon Boat Festival, and the four traditional festivals were designated as national holidays.
Wang Zicheng asked Su Min to see the dragon boat, and at this time he was wearing a moon-white round-necked shirt and waiting under Su Min's dormitory building.
His handsome face and handsome posture attracted the attention of many girls, but he didn't even look at it, and waited anxiously for Su Min.
Su Min was dressed in a beige bronzing robe at this time and was grooming in front of the mirror.
The makeup was painted, but the hair tossed her a lot. Her hair is thin and soft, and it is still naturally curly, so it is not easy to make.
Su Min was not satisfied after changing a few hairstyles, so in the end she had to be deflated and directly tied a ponytail and went out with a backpack.
At the door, there is a teacher holding bluegrass in his hand, pouring water on the students who come and go.
"Zicheng, didn't we have this ceremony on the Shangsi Festival, why is there still this one today?" Su Min looked at the movements of the teachers and had some doubts in her heart.
"It's pretty much the same, except that the Dragon Boat Festival is washed with herbal water, the purpose of which is to dispel evil spirits. Because it is not very convenient to take a bath, the ritual is simplified, and you will have to order realgar later. ”
"What is a little realgar?"
While the two were still chattering, it was their turn.
Drops of water are sprinkled on the body, and there is a slight feeling of coolness.
After that, the teacher took a clean brush, dipped some water in a basin, and put it on their foreheads.
Come to think of this, this is the little realgar that Wang Zicheng said in his mouth!
The two of them happily underwent the ceremony, and then went out happily.
"Zongzi incense, fragrant kitchen;
Artemisia leaf incense, full of incense;
The peach branch is stuck in the gate,
Go out and look at the wheat yellow.
dragon boat racing, gongs and drums;
Five-color line, rhombic grid;
The sachet hangs on the waist pole,
Mulan soup, drink realgar! ”
The sound of children singing folk songs came to her ears, and Su Min also read along, and her heart was very happy.
At this time, they were on the riverside of the Qingsha River, watching the dragon boat race.
I only listened to the noise of gongs and drums, and there were five dragon boats on the river racing forward, and when you were chasing me, Su Min was so sensitive that someone had something in his hand.
"What is this?" Su Min looked at Wang Zicheng in surprise, only to see that the young man wrapped a multicolored silk thread around his wrist.
"Legend has it that with a five-color thread you can avoid the damage of the five poisons, and when it rains or bathes at the first time, you can throw it into the river, which means that the river will wash away the plague and disease." Wang Zicheng explained while giving Su Min a carry.
"Since it's a legend, what you don't see is true......" Su Min muttered, but her heart was very sweet.
The young man's movements were a little clumsy, but he still tied them in an orderly manner: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, it represents my heart anyway, I hope you are healthy!" ”
"That's it!" The boy let go with a smile, his heart full of sweetness.
Su Min heard Wang Zicheng say that this colorful silk thread is his heart, and his heart is even happier.
Suddenly, as if she remembered something, she fumbled in her backpack. It didn't take long to find a diamond-shaped object, which was also made of multicolored silk threads, and was dotted with some bells and silk spikes, which looked very good.
"This is a sachet with some herbs in it to repel mosquitoes." As he spoke, he hung the sachet on Wang Zicheng's waist.
This sachet was specially made by Su Min, but the needlework was a little clumsy. She had a smile on her face, completely oblivious to the young man's deep eyes.
"Ahh There are so many people here! Su Min blushed and pushed Wang Zicheng away, because the young man kissed her while she was not paying attention.
I'm embarrassed, but I'm very useful.
Wang Zicheng was pushed by her like this, and his cheeks were slightly red.
Where could he manage so much at that time, but he saw that the girl in front of him was very cute, and he lost his mind for a while before kissing him.
"I ......" Wang Zicheng said the word "I", and he couldn't say it anymore, so that people were a little embarrassed.
Seeing him like this, Su Min couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, okay, I'm hungry and want to eat." ”
When she was young, there were some things that didn't need to be explained, and she knew it, but she was really hungry now.
Speaking of food, there is a particularly famous delicacy in the Dragon Boat Festival, which is zongzi.
The rice dumplings are different in each place, but they are all wrapped in rice dumpling leaves.
The zongzi in Jiangshi are made with glutinous rice, red beans, sesame oil and bacon, mixed with salt, pepper and other seasonings.
"Hmm! It's delicious! Su Min held the zongzi in his hand and ate it deliciously.
There are a lot of vendors selling things during the Dragon Boat Festival, naturally many of them sell zongzi, whether it is delicious or not depends on luck, at this time Su Min is holding zongzi while walking and eating.
Judging from her expression, this zongzi seems to be delicious.
Wang Zicheng was a little hesitant, because he rarely ate standing like this. But seeing Su Min's satisfied face, he opened a zongzi and prepared to taste it.
The pointed triangle is so cute that people can't help but bite into it.
A meaty aroma mixed with bean aroma and hemp flavor forms a unique salty flavor in the mouth, which lasts for a long time and has an endless aftertaste.
"It's really delicious, it's the first time I've eaten such delicious zongzi." Wang Zicheng is also full of praise.
Su Min ate like a squirrel, with bulging cheeks, which was very funny.
She looked at Wang Zicheng in surprise and swallowed the zongzi in three or two clicks.
"And what did you eat before?"
"It's hard to say, don't you know that the controversy over the taste of this zongzi can cause a bloody storm?" Wang Zicheng raised his eyebrows and whispered in Su Min's ear.
Su Min also "chuckled" in his heart, and hurriedly nodded to indicate that he knew.
After many years, the battle for sweet and salty zongzi has endured, but for Su Min, as long as it is delicious, it is king!
"Hey!" Su Min had eaten zongzi, and people came to the spirit, and at this time she was holding a dart in her hand, shooting a drawing not far ahead.
