Chapter 34 Happy Dragon Boat Festival
After Zhang Jing got off work, she pushed open the door and shouted with a smile on her face: "Tongtong, Xinxin, look at what Mom brought back?" ”
Yang Xin and Yang Tong turned their heads and saw their mother holding a gift box in her hand, and they knew that this was a zongzi.
Zhang Jing said: "This is a Dragon Boat Festival gift issued by my mother's unit, glutinous rice dumplings, which are delicious." ”
Yang Tong's interest was not high, and Zhang Jing asked a little strangely: "Xinxin, what's wrong with your brother?" ”
Yang Xin replied: "My brother is blaming himself for Qu Yuan's death!" ”
After Zhang Jing listened, her face was strange, self-blame, self-blame, self-blame, self-blame?
blame yourself for Qu Yuan's death, Qu Yuan's death, what do your sons blame themselves?
Zhang Jing put down the zongzi gift, walked to the sofa, put down the bag and sat down, and asked, "Tong Tong, what's wrong?" ”
Yang Tong said a little sadly: "Mom, why did you say Qu Yuan threw himself into the river?" ”
Although Zhang Jing wondered why Yang Tong asked this question, she still answered this question very seriously: "Mom doesn't know very much, but you let Mom check it and tell you." ”
After a long while, Zhang Jing spoke: "Yes, it is said that Qu Yuan was trusted by King Chu Huai when he was in his 20s, and he successively served as an official position of Zuo Tu and Sanlu Doctor, and his status was quite prominent." When you go out, you will meet guests and correspond to the princes", and was once a key figure in Chu's internal and foreign affairs.
In order to save the state of Chu from peril, Qu Yuan put forward the "American government" program of repairing maladministration internally, reforming and strengthening the country, connecting with the outside world, and resisting Qin. However, under the slander and slander of the old aristocracy, he was soon alienated, and suffered the first heavy blow in his life five years later, and was exiled to Hanbei.
But he refused to give up. In 292 BC, Qu Yuan, who had returned to the court of Chu, was exiled to Jiangnan because of his unremitting adherence to the line of "American politics". ”
Later, Qu Yuan was framed by the villain, and was dismissed by King Chu Qingxiang and exiled to the place of southern Hunan.
After he arrived in Shonan, he heard the news that his country's capital had been breached, and he thought that there was no hope of saving the country, so he threw himself into the river and died.
In order to commemorate this great patriotic poet, people set the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar as the Dragon Boat Festival every year. ”
Yang Tong asked, "So is it Qu Yuan who was killed by King Chu Qingxiang and that group of villains?" ”
Zhang Jing didn't know how to answer for a while, so she said: "You can say that, but you can't say that." Because Qu Yuan finally threw himself into the river and died, he couldn't blame anyone. But it is undeniable that he has too deep feelings for his country, so he will seek death after learning that his country is dead. ”
Yang Tong frowned and said, "Mom, I don't understand much!" ”
Zhang Jing touched Yang Tong's head and said seriously: "Tong Tong, don't say you don't understand, in fact, my mother can't understand." The main reason is that we live in this happy age and don't think about these things. The reason why Qu Yuan died was because he was different from the era we lived in, and if he was in our era, he would definitely be very happy. ”
Yang Tong sighed, although he still didn't quite understand, but he felt a lot better.
Zhang Jing also asked: "That Tong Tong can tell his mother, why do you think Qu Yuan's death is responsible?" ”
Yang Tong said hesitantly: "Mr. Qu Yuan is a good person, he shouldn't die, if I can tell him how happy the world will be in the future, he shouldn't die." ”
Zhang Jing smiled and responded, "Silly boy, what are you talking about!" ”
Zhang Jing wondered if it was the Dragon Boat Festival recently, and Qu Yuan's cartoons began to play again.
But her own children can think about some problems, and she thinks it is very meaningful.
I may not have a very good answer, but this is my understanding.
She also believes that when Tong Tong grows up, he will be able to understand this truth. It's normal to not understand now, after all, he is only seven years old.
Zhang Jing thought that she would be transferred to rest tomorrow, so she said to Yang Tong and Yang Xin: "Tong Tong, Xinxin, tomorrow during the Dragon Boat Festival, let's go to the ancient town to watch the dragon boat!" ”
Dragon boating?
Yang Tong remembered that when Mr. Qu Yuan jumped into the river, they rowed a dragon boat in the river.
Yang Tong and Yang Xin nodded and said hello in reply.
Zhang Jing smiled, it's a pity that the child's father can't go together, and when he waits for tomorrow, he will send him the video.
When he was in the study at night, Yang Xin watched his brother watching Qu Yuan's cartoons on the tablet, and said to Yang Tong: "Brother, you don't have to blame yourself. If you think about it, Mr. Qu Yuan was very old at that time, and he couldn't live to our time! If he hadn't thrown himself into the river, he would have lived to our time and wouldn't have become an old monster! ”
Yang Tong glanced at Yang Xin strangely, it is worthy of you, Yang Xinxin, you can always find an inexplicable entry point, and then make the sad emotions of the family disappear.
However, Yang Tong is indeed much better, and he also understands a truth.
A lot of things are not under your control, especially what has happened, it is a historical event, how can it be changed by yourself and your sister!
If that had changed, would there still be a future?
There will definitely be a future, but this future is not the future of the present.
We should go along with history and look at the past with a smile.
The next day, Zhang Jing took Yang Tong and Yang Xin to the ancient town to watch dragon boating, the ancient town was very lively, and Yang Tong's last bit of unhappiness also disappeared along with the atmosphere of the festival.
After all, it is a child, and no matter how unhappy you are, you can forget it.
And Zhang Jing also called Yang Xuewen in Shenzhen in the ancient town, but Yang Xuewen was still sorting out the plan in the office, and saw his wife calling him, and he quickly got through.
The two children saw their father appear on the mobile phone, and they also called for their father happily.
Yang Xuewen smiled, looked at the place where they were, and sighed: "You guys are going to the ancient town to spend the Dragon Boat Festival now!" ”
Yang Xin suddenly pouted and asked, "Dad, are you working hard?" ”
Yang Xuewen was a little tired, and when he heard his daughter ask, he immediately cheered up and replied: "Dad is not hard at all, as long as Dad sees you and Tongtong, he is full of energy." ”
The four of them said a lot of things, they didn't spend this Dragon Boat Festival together, but they spent this Dragon Boat Festival together in another way.
At the end, Yang Tong and Yang Xin both said to their fathers on the phone: "Dad, happy Dragon Boat Festival, remember to eat zongzi!" ”
Yang Xuewen wanted to shed tears, but he still couldn't help but respond: "Okay, dad will, so do you, remember to eat zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival!" ”
