The origin of eating burritos on Dragon Boat Festival

During Qi Jiguang's anti-Japanese war in the Ming Dynasty, all the soldiers recruited at first were from Chuzhou and Shaoxing (there are still two streets in Lishui, one called Qi Jiguang Street and the other called Jie, to commemorate Qi Jiguang and Yu). That year, the war ahead was a little slow, and Qi Jiajun was recuperating. Qi Jiguang decided to take this opportunity to recruit a batch of new soldiers to supplement its military strength. As soon as the news came out, several officers and men from Chuzhou reported to Qi Jiguang that Chuzhou people practiced martial arts, and all young people were good at martial arts and had good posture. Especially in Beixiang, where the folk customs are tough, there are often fights between clans. If you go there and select some young people, you will soon become the main force in the army after strict training. Hearing this, Qi Jiguang felt reasonable, and proved in front of him that these Chuzhou soldiers are really hard-working, with high martial arts and fierce fighting. So I decided to recruit soldiers all over the state. Qi Jiguang came to various states and successfully recruited 3000 new recruits according to the high standards of courage, endurance and martial arts. At that time, in order not to affect the marching speed (because cooking takes time), you can eat while marching. So I prepared burritos for the soldiers. Later, Lishui had the custom of eating burritos to commemorate the Dragon Boat Festival in Qi Jiguang.
