zongzi

A very popular dish on Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This delicious dish consists of zongzi, which contains meat, peanuts, egg yolk or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is to remind us that the fishermen in the village spread rice on the Miluo River to appease the dragons in the river so that they will not devour Chu Yuan.

Zongzi is a pyramid-shaped jiaozi, made of glutinous rice and wrapped with bamboo or reed leaves to give it a special taste. Taste varies greatly from place to place in China. In northern China, Zongzi is usually made of rice and dates, because dates are abundant in this area. Jiaxing County in the east of China is famous for its pork zongzi. In Guangdong province in the south, people wrap zongzi with pork, ham, chestnuts and other ingredients, which makes them very rich in flavor. In Sichuan province, zongzi is usually coated with sugar. Most people still keep the tradition of eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival. But this special delicacy has become so popular that you can buy it all year round now.
