The origin and implication of the custom of making zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival
Origin: Zongzi is wrapped in Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan's yearning. Legend has it that after Qu Yuan's death, the people of Chu were so sad that they flocked to the Miluo River to pay homage to Qu Yuan. Some fishermen took out rice balls and eggs prepared for Qu Yuan and threw them into the river, saying that ichthyosaurs, shrimps and crabs would not bite the doctor when they were full.
People followed suit after seeing it, and then gradually evolved into the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year. We should wrap zongzi, eat less of it, and throw most of it into the river, so that the fish and shrimp in the river can eat zongzi instead of Qu Yuan's body.
Moral: First, to commemorate Qu Yuan; Second, drive away the dragon; Third, we should have a son.
