2016端午节作文400字：儿时的端午节-作文

　　在我儿时的记忆中，除了春节以外就数端午节最为热闹了，由于父母工作都很忙，小时候我常常跟外婆一起呆在乡下。那时的端午节使我难以忘怀。

　　与平时的过年过节一样，在端午节的前一天晚上，外婆总会让我乖乖坐在床边，给我讲一些过节的规矩，例如“不许乱说话““不许偷吃冷粽子”“不许与小伙伴打闹”“不许玩水”……我总是批频频地点头。外婆就让我早早睡下，好让明天能有个好精神。

　　早晨，我早早地就起床了，穿好衣服就先奔向厨房，此时外婆已把厨房里的一切都打理好了，灶台上绑着几捆桂叶和桂绳，白白嫩嫩的糯米静静地躺在盛满水的小木桶中，像一粒粒晶莹的珍珠，灶台上放着的几个小碟，里面盛着各种各样的料：有花生、有豆沙、有肉、有红糖。

　　于是，我就坐在桌上一边吃着早饭一边看着外婆忙碌着。

　　乡下的灶台是两边的，一边用来烧水，一边用来煮菜煮饭，外婆就把早已洗干净的鸭蛋放入大锅里，用木瓢从另一个热水锅里舀几瓢水放入大锅中，然后还细心地放入一小勺的盐，接着就往灶里添了几根枯枝，便坐在了我旁边，开始给我编络子了。

　　外婆的手由于长期劳动已经粗糙的像树皮一般了，但却不失灵巧，三下五除二一个用红绳编成的络子就编成了。

　　此时，蛋也煮好了，外婆就捞起一个最大的用红纸沾水染成了红色，再用干布擦拭干净，装进络子里，挂在我脖子上。接着，外婆就往我兜里装着瓜子、糖果、花生，我往往十分高兴，因为这样，我就可以和小伙伴们一起去看龙舟赛了。

　　外婆总是把我送到大门口，嘱咐着要我快些回来吃粽子。我总是一溜烟就消失了。

　　小伙伴们此时都差不多到齐了，由邻家的大姐姐当头，领着我们这一群小毛孩到河边看赛龙舟。由于河道较小，所以就只有两条的龙舟，每条龙舟都有13个人，12个人划桨，1个人打鼓喊口号，“一、二、嘿呦，一、二、快快、”12个皮肤黝黑的小伙子动作整齐地划着，两条龙舟你追我赶地向前驶去。

　　可是，小孩子会知道看什么呢?我们只不过图个热闹罢了。女孩子一般看了一会儿，便觉得无趣了，就坐在一旁分享起零嘴，男孩子呢，则不然，他们总喜欢沿着岸边追着龙舟跑，由于划桨的人力度较大，几乎每个男孩身上都有水花溅着的痕迹。

　　锣响了，大概是舟到终点了吧，刚好东西也吃完了，站起身，与伙伴们拉着手高高兴兴回家去。

　　太阳也慢慢爬到正空中，外婆家的厨房里已经飘出了桂叶的清香了，我就连忙蹿进厨房里，去挑已出锅的个大的粽子。一般我都会坐在门槛上把那个粽子吃得干干净净，偶尔会剩下几颗糯米粒给鸡吃，看着大公鸡的贪吃样，我也被逗乐了……

　　尽管如今过端午节，母亲每年都会包粽子，编络子给我，尽管母亲的手艺一点也不比外婆逊色，但我总觉得少了些什么。

　　我真怀念儿时的端午节啊!

　　端午节作文

　　The Dragon Boat Festival is a lunar holiday, occurring on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month

　　The Chinese Dragon Boat Festival is a significant holiday celebrated in China, and the one with the longest history. The Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated by boat races in the shape of dragons. Competing teams row their boats forward to a drumbeat racing to reach the finish end first.

　　The boat races during the Dragon Boat Festival are traditional customs to attempts to rescue the patriotic poet Chu Yuan. Chu Yuan drowned on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month in 277 B.C. Chinese citizens now throw bamboo leaves filled with cooked rice into the water. Therefore the fish could eat the rice rather than the hero poet. This later on turned into the custom of eating tzungtzu and rice dumplings. The celebration's is a time for protection from evil and disease for the rest of the year. It is done so by different practices such as hanging healthy herbs on the front door, drinking nutritious concoctions, and displaying portraits of evil's nemesis, Chung Kuei. If one manages to stand an egg on it's end at exactly 12：00 noon, the following year will be a lucky one.

　　Notesignificant：重要的　　drumbeat：鼓声，打鼓　　patriotic：爱国的concoction：调和物　　nemesis：报应风俗习惯

　　Dragon Boat race Traditions At the center of this festival are the dragon boat races. Competing teams drive their colorful dragon boats forward to the rhythm of beating drums. These exciting races were inspired by the villager's valiant attempts to rescue Chu Yuan from the Mi Lo river. This tradition has remained unbroken for centuries.

　　Tzung Tzu A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.

　　Ay Taso The time of year of the Dragon Boat Festival, the fifth lunar moon, has more significance than just the story of Chu Yuan. Many Chinese consider this time of year an especially dangerous time when extra efforts must be made to protect their family from illness. Families will hang various herbs, called Ay Tsao, on their door for protection. The drinking of realgar wine is thought to remove poisons from the body. Hsiang Bao are also worn. These sachets contain various fragrant medicinal herbs thought to protect the wearer from illness.
