Patriotic case of excellent traditional culture

A few days later, Qu Yuan jumped into the river with a stone in his arms.

People are worried that the fish in the river will eat Qu Yuan's body. Just pick up the zongzi leaves, put some rice in it, tie it up with a rope and throw it into the river for the fish in the river to eat. The common people named this kind of food Zongzi. In this way, the fish in the river will eat zongzi instead of Qu Yuan's body.

To commemorate the love of the hero Qu Yuan, the people celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May. Every year on the fifth day of May, every household will eat jiaozi.
