The Dragon Boat Festival is Almost Here

The dragon boat festival is almost here and everyone is busy to prepare. So are some delicious foods. Make sure to eat sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and lychees for dessert is the most important thing in the dragon boat festival. Alought the sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves cannot eat too much, it really not easy to digest, I still love to eat. Eating the sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves in the dragon boat festival is important custom in China if we did not eat the sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves in the dragon boat festival is equal to we did not spend this holiday. The sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves has classified into two style, southern dumpling and northern dumpling. Southern dumpling and northern dumpling I both like. The other custom in the dragon boat festival is dragon boat racing. This is a interesting activity; it also is a good exercise in the summer. The origin of dragon boat festival is in the spring and autumn period, a patriotic poet Qu Yuan who committed suicide (jumped into river) because the king has some mistakes to him.The people do not want to his body has eaten by fish, so they put the rice ball with leaves into the river. This is the origin of eating the sticky rice wrapped in bamboo leaves in the dragon boat festival.
