In fact, I don’t want to say any grand narrative today.
About squares, triangles, circles.
Glutinous rice is stuffed into various shapes, just like days are packed into different containers.
Some people like the sharp edges and corners shown by the triangle, some people prefer the sense of stability shown by the square, and some people only love the perfect mouth.
We are just using these shapes to place the same thoughts.
After listening to a few songs, I suddenly wanted to say something.
Why does the Dragon Boat Festival rain always fall in my memory?
The drumbeat of "Dragon Boat Race" is so urgent that it feels like it is beating out the entire summer's blood.
However, I saw the foreigners in Frankfurt on the screen, shouting Chinese chants in their voices like broken gongs and rowing dragon boats. At that moment, my eyes felt slightly warm.
It turns out that some things can really travel across the ocean after thousands of years.
That clumsy effort of "working together in the same boat" is more moving than any perfection.
The mugwort is fragrant again, but the rice dumpling maker is old
There is a line in "The Mugwort Fragrances Again" that is light but like a thorn.
I remember my grandma making rice dumplings when I was a kid. I was making trouble and spilled the glutinous rice all over the floor.
She never scolded me, she just used her rough hands to hold me to her side, and then asked me to stuff a red date into the rice dumpling.
Nowadays, I also know how to wrap it, the triangular one is very standard.
But the person who taught me is no longer here.
Who is it meant to commemorate?
The part about "Qu Yuan" made me feel heartbroken.
Sometimes I wonder, at the moment when Qu Yuan jumped, was it despair or another kind of hope?
With a span of two thousand years, we are committed to salvaging a person. In fact, we are salvaging something called "integrity".
Nowadays, when we feel a little wronged, we want to change jobs, and when we are scolded, we post on WeChat Moments.
Compared to Qu Yuan, we are more like the boatman rushing to dock.
Ashamed.
Those who are not perfect are the real ones
The cheerful-sounding nursery rhyme "Making Zongzi" was sung by Zhu Fengbo in a playful way, and one or two notes in it almost escaped.
It sounds so good.
Just like when I was a child during the Dragon Boat Festival, I had the five-colored thread tied on my wrist. My mother said that if it rained, I would throw it into the ditch to wash away all the diseases.
I couldn't bear it, so I hid it secretly, but it turned moldy.
That childish stubbornness, now that I think about it, is the warmth of life.
Why are rice dumplings eaten all over the world?
Big data says that salty rice dumplings sell better than sweet ones this year, and there are also crayfish-filled rice dumplings.
You see, even traditions are trying their best to please the tastes of young people.
But no matter how the filling changes, there are still those few rice dumpling leaves wrapped on the outside.
Just like no matter how far we go, we always carry the fragrance of wormwood in our hearts some afternoon.
All festivals are just for us to remember
Remember which village you are from.
Remember to do a certain thing and eat a certain food on a certain day.
This is a program engraved in genes, called culture.
If you are in a foreign land today, go buy a rice dumpling and eat it.
Even if it is taken out of the freezer in the supermarket and microwaved, it is still good.
Suddenly I remembered that line in Yue Opera
"Every year comes the Dragon Boat Festival, every spring, and the color of the cuckoos changes every year."
Spring comes and goes, and people who leave may not come back.
So while it’s still here, while you can still smell the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves, call the people you care about.
Tell him what kind of rice dumplings you ate today.
Tell him that you miss him.
Even if it’s just to say, Happy Dragon Boat Festival.
I also wish you that no matter what you are holding in your hands is sweet or salty, your heart will be warm.
Good health.
