Production of Dragon Boat Festival tabloids

Dragon Boat Festival, what does this festival mean to you? Besides eating a sweet zongzi, what else does she remind you of? In the modern society where various foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular, does the Dragon Boat Festival gradually become a dispensable symbol like some traditional festivals?

1. The origin of Dragon Boat Festival:

Dragon Boat Festival, also called Dragon Boat Festival, is one of the biggest traditional festivals in China. "Duan" means the same as "Chu", and calling "Duan Wu" is just like calling "the fifth day"; The word "five" in the Dragon Boat Festival is also connected with "noon". According to the order of earthly branches, May is "noon" month. Because noon is the "sun", the Dragon Boat Festival is also called "Duanyang". On May 5th, both the month and the day are five, so calling five is also called noon.

In addition, there are many nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: Summer Festival, Magnolia Festival, Daughter's Day, Tianzhong Festival, Dila Festival, Poet's Day and so on. Many nicknames of the Dragon Boat Festival indirectly explain the differences in the origin of the custom of the Dragon Boat Festival. That's what happened. There are at least four or five theories about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: in memory of Qu Yuan; Wuyue's national totem sacrifice theory: From the three generations of summer solstice festival; Evil month and evil day drive away, and so on.

So far, the most influential view on the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan. In the field of folk culture, China people associate dragon boat racing and eating zongzi with Qu Yuan. It is said that after Qu Yuan jumped into the river, the local people injured him and died, so they set sail to save him because of the custom of horse racing. He also said that people often put food into the water to offer sacrifices to Qu Yuan, but most of the food was eaten by dragons. Later, due to Qu Yuan's suggestion, they wrapped rice in neem leaves, wrapped it in colored silk, and later made it look like zongzi.

2. North-South flavor of Zongzi:

Different places, different eating habits, Zongzi formed a North-South flavor. Among them, the more famous zongzi are:

In rural areas, people are still used to eating zongzi. Beijing Zongzi is sticky, tough, fragrant and unique. Most of them are filled with red dates and bean paste, and a few are filled with preserved fruit.

Guangdong Zongzi is a representative variety of southern Zongzi. Contrary to Beijing Zongzi, Guangdong Zongzi is small in size, unique in appearance, square in front and sharp in back, like an awl.

1. Zongzi tastes strange, saying that the cook's lotus root is loose again.

It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival again. Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is a very old tradition. Here is an interesting legend.

In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of Chu State, faced with the pain of national subjugation, was filled with grief and indignation. On May 5, he threw a big stone into Guluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from hurting his health, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into the river one by one. Later, in order to show respect and memory for Qu Yuan, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into memorial ceremonies on this day, which is the origin of the earliest zongzi in China.

Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is such a record in the Elementary Book: During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed of a man who called himself Dr. San Lv (the official name of Qu Yuan) at night and said to him, "Everything you sacrificed was stolen by the dragon in the river, so you can wrap it with mugwort leaves and tie it with colorful silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. " So, people made "corn millet" with "leaves wrapped in millet". From generation to generation, it has gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, after eating Jiuzi Zongzi in the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, Long Yan was overjoyed and full of praise, and happily wrote a poem: "The four seasons are so beautiful, and Jiuzi Zongzi seeks novelty."

Jiuzi Zongzi: It is a kind of Zongzi, that is, nine Zongzi are connected in a string, big and small, the big one is on the top and the small one is on the bottom, with different shapes and very beautiful. And nine colors of silk thread tied together to form colorful. Jiuzi Zongzi is mostly used as a gift for relatives and friends, such as a gift from a mother to her married daughter and a gift from her mother-in-law to her wedding. Because "Zongzi" is homophonic for "neutron", there is a folk custom that eating "Zongzi" can give birth to sons. Wu Manyun, a poet in Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem praising Jiuzi Zongzi:

"Even the barrel of rice is wrapped in spring, and the nine sons are tied with colored light.

The green grass faded, the skin turned pale, and the lotus root of the smiling cook became loose again. "

Zongzi not only has many shapes and varieties, but also has a sweet and salty taste in different parts of China. Sweet dumplings include white dumplings, red bean dumplings, broad bean dumplings, red date dumplings, rose dumplings, melon seeds dumplings, red bean paste lard dumplings, jujube paste lard dumplings and so on. Salty taste: pork jiaozi, ham jiaozi, sausage jiaozi, shrimp dumplings, diced pork jiaozi, etc. But there are more pork dumplings. There are also assorted dumplings, bean paste dumplings and mushrooms with southern flavor; There is also a sweet and salty "double dumpling". These zongzi have different tastes, which makes the zongzi family colorful.

Due to the spread of food culture, as early as ancient times, the technology of making zongzi in China spread abroad, so many countries in the world also have the custom of eating zongzi.

Peruvians eat zongzi at Christmas, and families sit around and celebrate Christmas while eating zongzi. Even some married daughters will go back to their parents' homes on this day to taste the zongzi made by their mothers.

Burmese also like to eat zongzi. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they used glutinous rice as the main raw material and cooked bananas and coconuts as stuffing. This kind of zongzi has attractive aroma, soft, crisp and sweet, and unique flavor.

The Dragon Boat Festival in Japan is on the fifth day of May in the solar calendar. The main ingredient of their zongzi is rice flour, and the shape of zongzi is like a bell.

Malaysian dumplings are very similar in shape to those in Guangdong, China. It is characterized by its large volume. Besides fresh meat zongzi and ham zongzi, there is also a kind of bean paste zongzi and coconut zongzi, which are very delicious.

Philippine rice dumplings are very long, and taste the same as those in China and eastern Zhejiang. Zongzi is also an essential food for Christmas in the Philippines. (Text/Fu Zhiyu)

Have a good Dragon Boat Festival with tea and zongzi.

Not everyone likes to eat zongzi, but eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival is a feeling and an atmosphere. Today, I told you that drinking zongzi and drinking tea will make zongzi and tea taste better.

Super sweet zongzi, such as jujube paste and bean paste. , with mint tea and green tea. Super sweet zongzi needs tea to help digestion. Light green tea and mint can improve glucose metabolism and prevent too much sugar from staying in the body. Both kinds of tea are cool and suitable for hot and sweet dumplings. Super-oily zongzi, such as fresh meat, ham and sausage. , with Pu 'er tea, chrysanthemum tea and hawthorn tea. Greasy zongzi is suitable for strong tea to remove the greasy taste. Pu 'er tea is the best choice, because it tastes sweet and cold, has good degreasing effect, and chrysanthemum tea can reduce fire. Hawthorn tea can promote gastric acid secretion and help digestion. Salty and sweet zongzi, such as salt and pepper, egg yolk, etc. , can be paired with oolong tea. Compared with the super-sweet and super-oily zongzi, the salty and sweet taste is refreshing, so drinking oolong tea is a good consideration. Because oolong tea is semi-fermented, unlike green tea, it has a warm aesthetic feeling, which can set off the nostalgic feelings of salty and sweet taste. Light zongzi: such as red beans and white zongzi can be accompanied by slightly fragrant tea. Adding a sour plum to a pot of rose tea can set off the aroma of roses and bring out a touch of sweetness. At this time, it feels particularly good to chew light but not greasy zongzi. Rose tea can also regulate blood circulation, especially for women, the catechin of matcha has anti-cancer and anti-aging effects, both of which are suitable for people who pay attention to health. The above series of green tea, black tea and scented tea are available in the food cabinet on the first floor of Nanjing Hualian Department Store. During the Dragon Boat Festival, all kinds of tea are discounted to some extent. (Text/Xiaoyan)

3. Eat zongzi and race dragon boats

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, there are customs of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats all over China.

As we all know, this ancient custom handed down from generation to generation is to commemorate Qu Yuan. But why should we commemorate Qu Yuan in this way? It turns out that there is such an interesting story circulating in Qu Yuan's hometown.

One night after Qu Yuan threw himself into the river, people in Qu Yuan's hometown suddenly dreamed that Qu Yuan was back. As before his death, his face was slightly sad and haggard. The villagers were so happy that they rushed forward to pay tribute to him. Qu Yuan replied with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. Chu people love and hate clearly. If you don't forget me, I will die without regret. " Let's not talk about the old room. When they found that Qu Yuan's health was much worse than before, they asked with concern, "Dr. Qu, have you eaten the rice we sent you?" Thank you ",Qu Yuan was grateful at first, then sighed and said," What a pity. The rice you gave me was eaten by fish, shrimp, turtles and mussels. "Hearing this, the villagers were very anxious:" How can you not let fish and shrimp eat? Qu Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If rice is wrapped in bamboo leaves and made into corn with sharp corners, the aquarium will think it is water chestnut and dare not eat it. "

The following year, during the Dragon Boat Festival, villagers wrapped a lot of corn in bamboo leaves and threw it into the river. However, after the Dragon Boat Festival, Qu Yuan said in his dream, "I ate a lot of corn you gave me, but many of it was taken away by the aquarium." Everyone asked him again, "What else can I do?" Qu Yuan said, "There is a way. Just stick a dragon card on the boat with the corn. " Because the aquarium belongs to the Dragon King, when the drums sounded and the oars turned, they thought it was from the Dragon King and dared not rob it again. "Corner millet is a gift of zongzi.

Since then, the custom of making zongzi and rowing dragon boats has spread from Qu Yuan's hometown to the whole country, from ancient times to the present.

Salt and pepper zongzi

The custom of eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival has a history of more than two thousand years. The Song Dynasty's Dream of Tokyo records that "making zongzi on May 5th today is a gurgling legacy". According to Wu Jun's Record of Continued Qi and Harmony in the Liang Dynasty, "Qu Yuan died on May 5, and Chu mourned it. On this day, he threw rice in a bamboo tube for sacrifice. " Zongzi has become a popular holiday food in the Tang and Song Dynasties. Tang's poem once wrote: "Flowers compete for four seasons, and nine zongzi compete for novelty." The poems of the Tang Dynasty poet Yao He also recorded the folk customs at that time: "There are noisy songs, and the wind blows the horn." It shows that in ancient times, both the court and the people ate zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.

Today, the custom of eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival has spread all over China, even to Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Thailand. People use ancient zongzi to think about ancient love. Zongzi has actually been integrated into the interest of China culture.

Zongzi in all parts of China are colorful, and many varieties with unique flavor have been formed in history, and they are all famous, such as Zizyphus jujuba Zongzi in Beijing, yellow rice Zongzi in Shandong, yellow rice Zongzi in Shandong, lard-mixed Zongzi in Shanghai, fresh meat Zongzi in Jiaxing, lard-mixed red bean paste Zongzi in Huzhou, honey-cooled Zongzi in Shaanxi, alkaline Zongzi in Guangdong, roast duck Zongzi in Sichuan, coconut dumplings, and salt and pepper Zongzi.

The production technology of Sichuan Zongzi has reached a considerable level in the Song Dynasty. Lu You, a poet who traveled around Sichuan at that time, mentioned Sichuan-style zongzi more than once in his poems. Not only is he known as "Untitled Scholar", but there is also a sentence in his "Poems by Jian Nan" that "a few days of the Dragon Boat Festival is a solution to zongzi". According to General Situation of Chengdu. "Chengdu children's disaster" recorded in the late Qing Dynasty: "Abdominal pain, bulging hair, picking up food, eating twice hurts." It can be seen that Chengdu people like to eat zongzi very early.

There are many kinds of zongzi in Chengdu, but the flavor of "salt and pepper zongzi" is outstanding. Zhang Yueying of Xinjin County makes snacks such as Zongzi and Ye Er Ba in his spare time. The salt and pepper zongzi she made is moist and refreshing, soft and glutinous, comfortable and simple, delicious, and is a famous one. /kloc-0.

Zongzi is the festival food of Dragon Boat Festival. Chinese people all over the world, whether local, China, Taiwan Province, Hongkong or overseas Chinatown, traditionally prepare all kinds of zongzi before the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

But do you know that Zongzi has a long history? There is a record of "Zongzi" in Shuo Wen Jie Zi written by Xu Shen in Han Dynasty. Zongzi is a kind of food wrapped in reed leaves.

However, in ancient times, zongzi was called millet.

After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, zongzi were mostly wrapped in glutinous rice, so they were called zongzi instead of millet.

Because of different regions, the material and even the shape of the "wrap" are very different. For example, people used horns to worship the sky in the early days, so in the Han and Jin Dynasties, zongzi was mostly made into horns as one of the products of ancestor worship. In addition, there are regular triangles, regular quadrangles, pointed triangles, squares, long strips and so on.

The taste of zongzi also varies from place to place. In the Tang Dynasty, there were many zongzi shops on Chang 'an Avenue, and all kinds of nuts were stuffed.

The name of brown seeds has also undergone many changes. According to the local custom of the Western Jin Dynasty, millet, chestnut and jujube are wrapped in leaves during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is called bucket dumplings, also called corn. It is clearly recorded in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty that millet is wrapped in leaves and cooked into food in the shape of sharp horns or palm leaves, so it is called "horn millet" or "zongzi".
