Mainly depends on personal tastes and preferences. The simplest way to wrap zongzi with dried candied dates is to wrap it directly. Although it will be hard and may be lacking in taste, it is rich in nutrients and more convenient to make.

If you like to eat something soft and waxy, it will be better to use wet candied dates, and you can just wrap them directly. It tastes softer and sweeter than dry ones.

The trick of making jujube zongzi is to soak glutinous rice in advance to ensure the sticky taste of glutinous rice, select high-quality dates, and wrap the zongzi with appropriate amount of glutinous rice and dates, and the tightness of the package should be moderate. Too much glutinous rice tends to make the taste too tight, while too little jujube will make the jujube fragrance too light and the sweetness insufficient.
