Dragon Boat Festival, in people's inherent concept, is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet of Chu during the Warring States Period. He was unhappy because he earnestly advised the monarch not to adopt it, and finally went to Miluo River to die.

Everyone thought that he was loyal to his country, and the people along the coast spontaneously organized themselves to throw glutinous rice and other ingredients into the river with bamboo leaves, trying to attract fish to eat, hoping to preserve Qu Yuan's intact body to express their heartfelt admiration for the poet.

Gradually, this practice gradually passed down, and every year after that, people will continue such commemorative activities at the same time, and gradually formed a new anniversary-Dragon Boat Festival.

As time goes by, more and more people begin to add some other commemorative elements to this commemorative activity. For example, during the Dragon Boat Festival, it happened that the climate turned to the midsummer stage, with high temperature and heat, all kinds of poisonous creatures began to stir, which inadvertently affected people's health to varying degrees.

As a result, people began to insert wormwood at home to drive away all kinds of mosquitoes and avoid bites, in order to commemorate Qu Yuan. Apply realgar wine to the child's forehead to ward off evil spirits; Wear all kinds of silk thread on children's wrists to help children avoid all kinds of external evils; At the same time, with the help of such commemorative activities, it also creates a good opportunity for family reunion.

In short, people's expectations for a better life can be passed down through such commemorative activities. Although today has reached 2 1 century, has entered the modern society, the level of productivity has been greatly developed, but people's longing for a better life has never stopped. At the same time every year, Chinese people everywhere invariably seek family reunion to celebrate family happiness.

It's just that the times are developing, the society is progressing and the pace of life is accelerating. People can no longer enjoy the relief brought by slow life like farming society. Even on the anniversary, there are still countless people who need to continue to work without any slack. When the family can't get back in time, others can only express their feelings through the internet. Through a network cable, the family eats in the cloud, conveying the deep friendship between the family in this special way.

At the same time, the living conditions now far exceed those in the past, and people no longer need to wait for such a special anniversary to eat a good meal. On the contrary, you can live a rich life of meat and vegetables every day like a festival, which naturally makes people's expectations for the festival less intense. On the other hand, in reality, people can no longer feel the thick festive atmosphere.

Although it doesn't feel obvious, people still have a place in their hearts for such an anniversary. At this time, everyone feels the same about the beauty brought by the same incident, which is a matter of infinite merit.
