Zongzi, a traditional festival food of the Han nationality on the Dragon Boat Festival, is steamed from glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi leaves. Legend has been passed down in memory of Qu Yuan and is the most culturally profound traditional food in Chinese history. At the beginning of May every year, Chinese people soak glutinous rice, wash zong leaves, and make Zongzi. The rice used in Zongzi is "as white as jade", and its shape is conical and rhombic. The Japanese literature records "Zongzi of the Tang Dynasty". During the Song Dynasty, there was already "preserved rice dumplings", which means that fruits were added to the rice dumplings. The poet Su Dongpo once said, "I see yangmei in the zongzi.". At this time, there were advertisements made with Zongzi stacked into pavilions and wooden carts, indicating that eating Zongzi was very fashionable in the Song Dynasty. There are many kinds of Zongzi additives, such as bean paste, pork, pine nuts, red dates, etc< Br>
