Respecting carries midday, regular meeting thinks of a zhongzi. The zhongzi is lapping with emerald green Ruo leaf snow-white polished glutinous rice and bright red jujube, after thoroughlying cook, ruo Xie Zhuai is blackish green color, after paring, between there is the red jujube like a few scarlet and sleek agates in white rice group. Place an one part gently, touch white sugar, in sending the entry, the be mingled with of polished glutinous rice of soft glutinous is worn of red jujube sweet, woke up each asleep taste bud.
说到端午,就一定会想到粽子。粽子用翠绿的箬叶包裹着雪白的糯米和鲜红的枣子,煮熟以后,箬叶转为墨绿色,剥开后,之间洁白的米团里嵌着几粒深红油亮玛瑙般的红枣。轻轻夹起一角,沾上白糖,送入口中,软糯的糯米夹杂着红枣的香甜,唤醒了每一个熟睡的味蕾。
Zhongzi, cry again " horny millet " , " brief Zong " . Fabulous zhongzi is to commemorate great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. Qu Yuan of according to legend is in the traditional Chinese calendar at the beginning of May devote into Mi Luo Jiang this days 5, people loves and esteem this great poet, to commemorate him, also be gnawed to feed by piscine shrimp of Jiang Li to avoid his fleshy body, write a composition in Luo Jiang of a annual day of this past Mi then in put rice on grain. Have a year unexpectedly, qu Yuan gives common people appear in one's dream and make a request, say so those meters of provisions was taken by flood dragon dragon of Jiang Li. Clever common people is eaten stealthily by flood dragon dragon again to avoid, use rice food Ruo Xie Bao to wrap, as time passes, formed the zhongzi that we often eat now, and this day of traditional festival that is our country -- dragon boat festival.
粽子,又叫“角黍”、“简粽”。传说粽子是为了纪念伟大的爱国诗人屈原。相传屈原在农历五月初五这天投身汨罗江,人们爱戴这位伟大的诗人,为了纪念他,也为了避免他的肉身被江里的鱼虾啃食,于是就在每年的这一天往汨罗江里投放米粮。不料有一年,屈原给百姓托梦,说原来那些米粮都被江里的蛟龙吃了。聪明的百姓为了避免再被蛟龙偷吃,就将米粮用箬叶包裹起来,久而久之,就形成了我们现在常吃的粽子,而这一天就是我国的传统节日——端午节。
The difference of north and south of the zhongzi is very big. I am a northerner, ego begin to remember things rises, the zhongzi that I eat is sweet more of the mouth, for instance stuffing of stuffing of sweetened bean taste, candied date or jujube... and father mother is southern, they tell me, in their native place, the taste of the zhongzi is salty, people can have bloated polished glutinous rice with soy, wrap inside next on salty yoke, steaky pork is waited a moment, hear here, my saliva cannot help wanting to flow.
粽子的南北差异很大。我是一个北方人,自我记事起,我吃的粽子就多是甜口的,比如豆沙馅、蜜枣馅……而爸爸妈妈是南方人,他们告诉我,在他们的老家,粽子的口味是咸的,人们会把糯米用酱油腌过,然后在里面裹上咸蛋黄、五花肉等等,听到这里,我的口水都忍不住要流下来了。
Saying, my home zhongzi gives boiler. My take everything into one's own hands removes a zhongzi, one one shucks its appearance, gradually, one brown, fat fat zhongzi was shown. Bite readily go down, glutinous grow, that inviting fragrance lets steaky pork person lick one's chaps, the flesh that evaporate crosses is fat and not be bored with, salty delicacy is goluptious, my within an inch of should bite placing chopstick went down.
正说着呢,我家粽子出锅了。我一把抓起一个粽子,一层一层剥去它的外衣,渐渐的,一个棕色的,胖胖的粽子露了出来。一口咬下去,糯滋滋,五花肉那诱人的香味让人垂涎欲滴,蒸过的肉肥而不腻,咸鲜可口,我差点把夹着的筷子都要咬下去了。
The consuetudinary continuance that dragon boat festival eats a zhongzi up to now, I believe, accompanying this traditional red-letter day, zhongzi this traditional cate also is sure inheritance goes down, carry forward.
端午节吃粽子的习俗延续至今,我相信,伴随着这个传统节日,粽子这道传统美食也必将传承下去,发扬光大。(文/戴子涵)
