The origin of steamed dumplings is?
Eating rice dumplings is a traditional program of the Dragon Boat Festival. There is such a legend: the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, there is a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, alive and loved by the people, he threw himself into the river, people because they do not want his body to be eaten by the fish, so every year on this day people throw the dumplings into the water. Listen to my grandfather said, then farmers in the Qin Dynasty in order to facilitate field work, they use bamboo leaves or mango leaves wrapped in rice, boiled and carried as dry food, which is the earliest wrapped rice dumplings.
