The origin and meaning of the Youth League

The origin of eating the Youth League:

One year, Tomb-Sweeping Day and Taiping Chen were arrested and rescued by farmers. The Qing soldiers didn't catch Taiping Chen, so they added soldiers to set up posts and didn't let the villagers feed Taiping Chen.

One day, the farmer slipped on wormwood and saw his hands dyed green. He quickly picked the wormwood, washed it, cooked it, squeezed it into glutinous rice flour, made it into zongzi, put it in the grass, and mixed it with the sentry at the village entrance. The custom of eating dumplings spread.

Moral: The Youth League has the significance of commemorating ancestors and reuniting.
