端午节英语作文500字篇35

I came to the Dragon Boat Festival full of palm smell. It reminds me of the custom of Dragon Boat Festival in our hometown.

When I was five years old, I had a Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown in Hunan. That morning, Dad led me to see the dragon boat racing. Not to the river, far heard the sound, very lively. As we approached, there were many colorful flags on the riverside. The shore was crowded with people. The five dragon boats lined up in the river, and the rowers were preparing for it. The official competition started, just heard a sound, and the five dragon boats were moving forward like five arrows. The sound of refueling, the sound of the gongs and drums, the cheers…… Abnormal excitement.

There was a continuous drizzle under the sky, but people didnt care at all. They were totally immersed in the sea of joy. In the cheers of people, a dragon boat came to the end. Laughter and cheers were more loud.

I saw the boisterous people on the shore throwing dumplings and eggs into the river. I asked, "Dad, what are they doing, why do you throw the good dumplings into the water?" Dad said, "dragon boat racing originated from ancient Chu people, because people could not afford to be a virtuous minister. Qu Yuan died in the river. Many people sailed to catch up. They scrambled to catch up with Dongting Lake. The dragon boat is commemorating him every May 5th. Dragon boat is used to drive away the fish in the river, while dumplings and other foods are fed to the fish, so as not to eat Qu Yuans body.

I love the Dragon Boat Festival in my hometown. Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet in our hometown, is worth remembering for ever.
