[Dragon Boat Festival Ankang] Dragon Boat Festival, I wish you happiness and well-being! – 爱上海419论坛|上海夜生活论坛|上海后花园论坛|上海品茶网论坛

June 3, the fifth day of May, Dragon Boat Festival. This folk festival, which has been passed down for thousands of years, has always been rich and romantic: eating zongzi, racing dragon boats, inserting Aipu, bathing in orchid soup, offering sacrifices to Qu Yuan, wearing colored thread and drinking realgar wine …

Although the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival vary from place to place, the lively situation is the same. No wonder some people say that the Dragon Boat Festival is really a festival full of rituals.

Dragon Boat Festival, full of sense of ceremony

eat Zongzi

What day is it today? My mother Confucius said, "Today is the May Festival. We should insert some wormwood and calamus at the gate to decorate it." My old lady said, "Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. We should hang the picture of Zhong Kui catching ghosts on the wall, and put some realgar wine on the child’s face to ward off evil spirits." My child said alone, "I don’t know what day it is today, so I said I should eat zongzi!" " I refer to the public opinion and think that today is called "Zongzi Festival", which is more cordial.

-Liang Shiqiu’s "Yashe talks about eating"-

When it comes to zongzi, there must be a "dispute between sweetness and saltiness". Do you like sweet zongzi such as candied dates, eight-treasure zongzi, red bean paste zongzi, or salty zongzi such as fresh meat zongzi, salty meat zongzi, ham zongzi and sausage zongzi? (Salted dumplings are also made of dried shrimps, mushrooms, egg yolks, chestnuts, etc.)

The cultural customs of different places are different, and the taste and eating method of zongzi are also different. No matter which taste, as long as you like to eat it, you may wish to put "Zongzi" on the Dragon Boat Festival!

dragon boat race

Early in the morning, I packed mugwort, calamus and realgar wine. After eating zongzi dipped in sugar, I ran to the levee to watch the dragon boat race. The child’s purse is full of fried broad beans, while chewing and craning his neck to look around. When a dragon boat turned out at the other end of the river, people immediately cheered and wondered which village boat it was … When they saw whether it was Huanglong or Bailong, firecrackers crackled and exploded.

On the ship, the drums beat, and dozens of paddles rose and fell at the same time. With the drums closed, they rowed back neatly, stirring up bursts of water, and sped away in the direction of the red flag … Every time the rod tilted high behind the ship fell, the ship was like a whip, and how far it jumped. The men, women and children standing on the bank slope went crazy, and the roar of "Come on, come on" made the river tremble.

In the end, those who grabbed the red flag turned around and rowed triumphantly, and the village where the boat was picked up hung red for the dragon boat. The children ran like hell with the dragon boat.

The sun is setting in the west, and the smoke is curling around. Every household wafted with the fragrance of food, and the ancestral hall, yard and rice field were filled with dining tables … The hospitable host prepared a sumptuous dinner for relatives and friends who came to see the dragon boat race in neighboring villages. Even if you are a passer-by, you will be warmly received as long as you are willing to sit down.

Talk about zhengheng—

The above scene is very similar to that written by Liu Yuxi in "Jingdu Qu", "tián, the turbulent flow and the sound crashing". Just looking at the words, you have already "filled up" the grand scene of dragon boat races, hundreds of battles and struggles. If you match the pictures and spread music, the atmosphere will be "full"! Not much to say, and see:

Du Jiang sang "Race Song" in the program "Old Rhyme and New Sound" at the main station.

Some people write poems, others draw pictures. Zhang Zeduan’s "Jinming Pool for Bid" is the earliest existing painting depicting the dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival. Yes, it is Zhang Zeduan who painted "The Riverside Scene on Qingming Festival"!

Eat "Twelve Red"

We should eat "Twelve Red" for lunch on Dragon Boat Festival, that is, twelve red dishes. I only remember fried amaranth, fried shrimp and salted duck eggs in Twelve Red, but I can’t remember the rest. Maybe twelve red is just a name, and it doesn’t really add up to twelve. However, the lunch dishes are all red, which is not mistaken. Moreover, there must be amaranth, shrimp and duck eggs. These three things are not expensive in my hometown, and most people can afford them.

Gaoyou salted eggs are characterized by fine quality and rich oil. The protein is tender, unlike the dry and powdered hair elsewhere, and the mouth is like chewing lime. There is more oil than anywhere else. The way to eat duck eggs, cut with shells, is one way, and that is the way to entertain guests at dinner. Usually eat, usually break the "short" and dig with chopsticks to eat. As soon as the chopstick head goes down, cheep-red oil comes out.

—Wang Zengqi’s Duck Eggs in Dragon Boat Festival—

Let’s take a look at the "Dragon Boat Festival Food" in Qi Baishi’s paintings:

Smoke mosquitoes and spray realgar

My mother is busy "smoking mosquitoes": she buys a big bag of Atractylodes macrocephala and Angelica dahurica from the drugstore, puts it in the stove, teaches (calls) it to give off fragrance, and takes it to every room for smoking.

At noon, he put a pack of realgar in a big bowl of Shaoxing wine and mixed it well. He told Qi Guan to take it to the corner of each room and spray it with his mouth. The sprayed realgar was dipped with a finger and the word "Wang" was written on each door; And put a little finger in every child’s belly button. It is said to be the savings of disinfectant; In the future, if someone is bitten by a centipede, poisonous snake, etc., you can go to the door and get some good medicine made at noon, and apply it to the affected area to disinfect and relieve pain.

Yulan decoction

Bathing orchids is one of the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, which refers to bathing with bluegrass, mugwort, calamus, peach leaves and other herbs and herbs. This custom has a long history, and it is recorded in Xia Xiaozheng: "In May, orchids are stored for bathing."

Qu Yuan’s "Nine Songs in the Cloud" also contains the sentence of "Bathing orchid soup and enjoying the fragrance". "Lan Yu Festival" has also become another name for the Dragon Boat Festival. "May 5 is called Lan Yu Festival."

Since we have mentioned all kinds of herbs, let’s get to know all kinds of plants during the Dragon Boat Festival. For people, plants in this season not only satisfy their appetite, but also have healthy protection and spiritual comfort. Looking at them, you will feel that "human beings are as happy as plants."

Sacrifice qu yuan

At that time, my father loved to tell us about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan, the Miluo River where he threw water, and that people wrapped zongzi and threw them into the water to feed the fish. When the fish ate zongzi, they wouldn’t eat Qu Yuan. I was one-track-minded, thinking, What makes you think that fish won’t eat Qu Yuan after eating Zongzi? Don’t we have to eat at least two dishes at a time?

I knew nothing about Qu Yuan’s poems at that time, but I think he must be a great poet, because there are many poets in the world, and only he can bring us festivals.

Chi Zijian’s "Eating in My Hometown"—

Dragon Boat Festival is linked with the name of the poet Qu Yuan. "The real smell of this ancient festival should be the charm of poetry". Thousands of years ago, the poet chanted "Lumanman (long) is Xiu Yuan, and I will go up and down for it"; Thousands of years later, we returned to Zigui, Qu Yuan’s hometown, and echoed his voice in another way:
