Five-color glutinous rice is a traditional snack in the Zhuang area.

The glutinous rice is named after its five colors: black, red, yellow, white and purple. It is also called "Wu rice".

Every year on the third day of the third lunar month or during the Qingming Festival, people of all ethnic groups in Guangxi generally make five-color glutinous rice.

The Zhuang family loves five-color glutinous rice very much and regards it as a symbol of good luck and good harvests.
