The moral of zongzi

The moral of Zongzi includes: in memory of Qu Yuan, which is a good example in meaning.

In memory of Qu Yuan. The origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan. At that time, Qu Yuan threw himself into the river because of the country's demise. This is very tragic and the world feels very sorry and sad. In memory of this great poet, Qu Yuan, every family made zongzi leaves and glutinous rice and threw them into the river for fish to eat, so as not to infringe on Qu Yuan's body and protect it.

The implication is in the middle. In ancient times, if you wanted to get ahead, you had to take the imperial examination and get better results, which was also called the "China Recruitment". After the middle school, you can get the official position and achieve your career. Therefore, every family eats zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival, which actually means high school in one fell swoop. Zongzi's "Zongzi" and "Zhong" are homophonic, so Zongzi will be eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival.
