The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is a traditional folk festival in China-Dragon Boat Festival, which is one of the ancient traditional festivals of the Chinese nation. Dragon Boat Festival is also called Duanwu and Duanyang. In addition, there are many nicknames for the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: Noon Festival, Chongwu Festival, May Festival, Yulan Festival, Daughter's Day, Tianzhong Festival, Dila Festival, Poet's Day, Dragon Day and so on. Although the names are different, on the whole, the customs of people around the country are more similar than different.

Celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival has been a traditional habit of China people for more than 2,000 years. Due to the vast territory, numerous nationalities and many stories and legends, not only many different festival names have emerged, but also different customs exist in different places. Its contents mainly include: the daughter returns to her mother's house, hangs a statue of Zhong Kui, greets the ghost boat, hides in the afternoon, sticks leaves in the afternoon, hangs calamus and wormwood, swims in all diseases, wears sachets, prepares sacrificial bowls, races dragon boats, contests, hits the ball, swings, paints children with realgar, drinks realgar wine, calamus wine, eats poisonous cakes, salted eggs, zongzi and seasonal fresh fruits. Some activities, such as dragon boat racing, have achieved new development, breaking through the time and geographical boundaries and becoming international sports events.

There are many opinions about the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival, such as: in memory of Qu Yuan; In memory of Wu Zixu's theory; In memory of Cao E; From the three generations of summer solstice festival; The theory of driving away the evil moon and the evil day, the theory of national totem sacrifice in Wuyue and so on. Each of the above has its own source. According to more than 100 ancient books and archaeological research by experts listed in Wen Yiduo's Examination of the Dragon Boat Festival and Historical Education of the Dragon Boat Festival, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival was a totem festival held by the southern wuyue people in ancient China, earlier than Qu Yuan. However, for thousands of years, Qu Yuan's patriotic spirit and touching poems have been deeply rooted in people's hearts, so people "cherish and mourn them, and discuss their words in the world, so as to tell them from generation to generation". Therefore, the theory of commemorating Qu Yuan has the widest and deepest influence and occupies the mainstream position. In the field of folk culture, China people associate the dragon boat race and eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival with the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is still a very popular grand festival among the people of China.

2. The contents of the Dragon Boat Festival handwritten newspaper: the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival

It is said that the custom of eating zongzi and racing dragon boats on the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan, a great poet in Chinese history, and it is precisely because of this that the Dragon Boat Festival was named "Poet's Day" after liberation.

Qu Ping (about 339 BC ~ about 278 BC) was originally called Qu Yuan, but he was also named as a regular cloud. He was a Han nationality, a native of Danyang (now Zigui, Hubei) in the late Warring States period, and a descendant of Qu Xian, the son of Xiong Tong in Chu Wuwang. Although Qu Yuan was loyal to Chu Huaiwang, he was repeatedly ostracized. After the death of King Huai, he was exiled because King Xiang listened to slanderers, and finally died in Miluo River.

Qu Yuan is one of the greatest romantic poets in China, the earliest known famous poet in China and a world cultural celebrity. He created the style of "Chu Ci" and the tradition of "vanilla beauty". Representative works include Li Sao and Nine Songs.

In Chinese calendar, the saying that the Dragon Boat Festival is to commemorate Qu Yuan has a history of 1500 years. According to legend, after Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River, the local people immediately rowed for rescue and went all the way to Dongting Lake, but Qu Yuan's body was never seen. At that time, it was rainy, and the boats on the lake gathered together beside the pavilion on the shore. When people learned that it was to salvage the virtuous minister Dr. Qu, they went out in the rain again and rushed into the vast Dongting Lake. In order to mourn, people rowed on the rivers, and then it gradually developed into a dragon boat race. The people were afraid that the fish in the river would eat his body, so they went home to bring rice balls and throw them into the river to prevent fish and shrimp from ruining Qu Yuan's body. Later, it became the custom to eat zongzi.

Of course, the protagonist Zongzi is indispensable for the Dragon Boat Festival. Eating zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival is another traditional custom of China people. Zongzi should be regarded as the traditional food with the deepest cultural accumulation so far in China.

According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, millet was wrapped in leaves of Zizania latifolia (Zizania latifolia) into a horn shape, which was called "horn millet"; Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and roasted, which is called "tube zongzi". In Jin Dynasty, Zongzi was officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, the raw materials for dumplings are also added with Alpinia oxyphylla, and the cooked dumplings are called "educational dumplings". Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnut, red dates, red beans, etc., and the variety is increasing. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared cone and diamond. There is a record of "Datang Zongzi" in Japanese literature. In the Song Dynasty, there was a "candied zongzi", that is, fruit was put into zongzi. Su Dongpo, a poet, has a poem "See Yangmei in Zongzi".

Until today, every Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, every household in China has to soak glutinous rice, wash zongzi leaves and make zongzi, with more varieties of colors. From the perspective of fillings, there are many bags of Beijing jujube brown in the north; In the south, there are many kinds of fillings such as bean paste, fresh meat, eight treasures, ham, egg yolk and so on. The custom of eating zongzi has been popular in China for thousands of years, and spread to Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries.

3. The contents of the Dragon Boat Festival handwritten newspaper: the origin of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival

Here is an interesting legend. In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of the State of Chu, faced with the pain of national subjugation. On May 5, he threw a big stone into the Guluo River in grief and indignation. In order not to make fish and shrimp damage his body, people threw rice in bamboo tubes into the river one after another. In the future, in order to show respect and nostalgia for Qu Yuan, people would put rice in bamboo tubes and throw it into the river to pay homage. This is the origin of the earliest zongzi in China-"tube zongzi".

Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is such a record in the Book of Beginners: During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed of a man who claimed to be Dr. San Lv (the official name of Qu Yuan) at night and said to him, "All the things you sacrificed were stolen by the dragon in the river. You can wrap them with wormwood leaves and tie up the five-color silk thread in the future. The dragon is most afraid of these two things." As a result, people made "horn millet" with "leaves wrapped in millet", which was passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.

Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, after eating Jiuzi Zongzi in the palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, Long Yan was overjoyed and full of praise, and happily wrote a poem: "The four seasons are so beautiful that Jiuzi Zongzi strives for novelty."

Jiuzi Zongzi is a kind of zongzi, that is, nine zongzi are connected in a string, big and small, with the big one on the top and the small one on the bottom. They have different shapes and are very beautiful, and they are made of nine colors of silk thread. Jiuzi Zongzi is mostly used as a gift for relatives and friends, such as a gift from mother to married daughter and a gift from mother-in-law to newly married daughter-in-law. Because "Zongzi" is homophonic for "neutron", there is a folk saying that eating "Zongzi" can give birth to a son.

Wu Manyun, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote a poem praising Jiuzi Zongzi: "Even the barrel of rice is wrapped in spring, and Jiuzi's colorful wisps are tied heavily, and the green leaves are all white, laughing and saying that the cook lotus root is loose."

Zongzi not only has many shapes and varieties, but also has different flavors in different places, mainly sweet and salty. Sweetness includes white water dumpling, red bean dumpling, broad bean dumpling, jujube dumpling, rose dumpling, melon seed dumpling, bean paste lard dumpling, jujube paste lard dumpling and so on. There are pork dumplings, ham dumplings, sausage dumplings, shrimp dumplings, diced pork dumplings and so on, but pork dumplings are more common. In addition, there are assorted dumplings, bean paste dumplings, mushroom dumplings, etc. with southern flavor, as well as "double-dumpling dumplings" with one sweet and one salty taste. These zongzi are all accompanied by different tastes, which makes the zongzi family colorful.

Due to the spread of food culture, as early as ancient times, the technology of making zongzi in China was spread abroad, so many countries in the world also had the custom of eating zongzi.

Peruvians eat zongzi at Christmas. The whole family sit around and celebrate Christmas while eating zongzi. Even some married daughters have to go back to their parents' homes on this day to taste the zongzi made by their mothers.

Burmese people also like to eat zongzi. On the Dragon Boat Festival, they use glutinous rice as the main ingredient and cooked bananas and coconut as stuffing. This kind of zongzi is attractive, soft, sweet and unique.

The Dragon Boat Festival in Japan is on the fifth day of May in the solar calendar. The main ingredient of their dumplings is rice flour, which looks like a bell.

The dumplings wrapped by Malaysians are very similar in shape to those in Guangdong, China, and are characterized by their larger size. Besides fresh meat dumplings and ham dumplings, there are also dumplings with bean paste and coconut paste, which are very delicious to eat.

The zongzi in the Philippines is long and has the same flavor as the zongzi in eastern Zhejiang. Zongzi is also an essential food for Filipinos to celebrate Christmas.
