Information about zongzi

Zongzi, also known as "Jiao Su" and "Tong Zongzi", is a traditional festival food of the Han nationality during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is steamed by wrapping glutinous rice with Zongzi leaves.

Until the beginning of May every year, people in China will soak glutinous rice, wash the leaves of zongzi and wrap zongzi. This custom also spread to Korea, Japan and Qu Yuan in Southeast Asia.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, people began to eat zongzi, which originated from the saying that people paid tribute to Qu Yuan. It is said that after Qu Yuan entered the Miluo River, the people all sighed and mourned, and Qu Zi, whose ambition was not rewarded, left the State of Chu in this way, which was really a national disaster. Therefore, in order to prevent fish and shrimp from eroding Qu Zi, people throw rice into the river one after another, hoping that fish and shrimp will only eat these rice grains without damaging Qu Zi's body. Then, according to ancient books, it was Qu Yuan who told the people that the rice was actually eaten by the dragon in the river when it was put in the river. If you wrap it with mugwort leaves and tie it with five-color ropes, you can avoid being swallowed by dragons. This is the later Zongzi.
