Festival: Jun 15, 2010 Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festivel. It is said that this festival was celebrated to commemorate a famous ancient Chinese poet, Quyuan. There are many customs in this festival, but I am just familiar with eating Zongzi and hang the wormwood. Zongzi is the traditional food of the Dragon Boat Festival which made up of glutinous rice mixed with peanut, candied date or meat and so on. The ingredients of Zongzi varies in relation to indivisual tastes. I prefer to the flavor of peanut and candied date. Grandmother Yang, who lived upstairs, gave some Zongzi to us yesterday. It is delicious! Actually, I am not sure wormwood stands for what I am talking about. Maybe mugwort would be better. We hang the mugwort in front of the door to counteract the evil forces. My Mom bought some mugwort in the vegetable market. We will hang it tomorrow. I am wondering that if the people from foreign countries have ever tasted Zongzi. Do you like it?

Actually, I am not sure wormwood stands for what I am talking about.  Maybe mugwort would be better.  We hang (the) mugwort in front of (on, or above) the door to counteract the evil forces. My Mom bought some mugwort in the vegetable market.  We will hang it tomorrow.

Mugwort and wormwood are essentially the same thing, Artemesis vulgaris, so you can use either.
