The origin and custom of eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival.

After Qu Yuan committed suicide by throwing himself into the river for the first time, every year on May 5th, that is, the anniversary of Qu Yuan, people would throw rice into the river to commemorate Qu Yuan. One night, someone dreamed that Qu Yuan was sallow and emaciated, so he hurried forward to ask. It turned out that the rice people threw into the river was eaten by fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs. Qu Yuan has no food to satisfy his hunger, so he is getting thinner.

He pondered how to prevent fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs from eating rice. Qu Yuan told him that if rice is wrapped in bamboo leaves and made into pointed corn (that is, zongzi), fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs will think it is water chestnut and dare not eat it any more. When the man woke up, he told the dream to his neighbor.

On the Dragon Boat Festival the following year, people did what Qu Yuan said in his dream. Soon, Qu Yuan gave the man a dream to thank people for giving him zongzi. Later, people did this, and gradually formed the habit of keeping jiaozi. "There is afternoon sunshine in May, and jiaozi fried dough sticks are soaked in realgar." During the Dragon Boat Festival, people not only eat zongzi, but also eat fried food. Fried dough sticks, fried dough sticks, hemp leaves, etc. They are all fried foods that people often cook. Among many fried foods, sugar cakes and vegetable corners are the most typical and representative holiday foods.
