The moral of zongzi:
1, Zongzi is a memorial to Qu Yuan.
The origin of Zongzi is closely related to the origin of Dragon Boat Festival. According to legend, during the Warring States period, the poet of Chu State threw himself into the river because of political frustration. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from damaging Qu Yuan's body, people scattered rice grains on the dragon boat for fish and shrimp to eat, and at the same time rowed the dragon boat to drive away evil spirits.
Later, in order to prevent rice grains from being eaten by fish and shrimp, people wrapped glutinous rice in bamboo leaves and made today's zongzi. Therefore, eating zongzi has become a way to commemorate Qu Yuan and express his admiration and thoughts.
2. Zongzi symbolizes the importance of unity and family.
Zongzi is cylindrical in shape, which means unity and integrity. The bamboo leaves outside symbolize the protection and protection of the family. The making process of zongzi requires the cooperation of family members, and the glutinous rice and stuffing are wrapped together, which shows the unity and affection among family members. When eating zongzi, family members will get together to taste delicious food, enhance their feelings and inherit the warmth and unity of the family.
3. Zongzi also means blessing.
Glutinous rice and zongzi were considered as mascots in ancient times, which could bring peace and happiness. Therefore, eating zongzi has also become a way to pray for good luck and blessings. On this special day of Dragon Boat Festival, people hope to protect themselves and their families by eating zongzi.
4. Zongzi also symbolizes harvest and celebration.
Zongzi has a wide variety of fillings, such as meat, bean paste, jujube and lotus seed paste. On the occasion of harvest, people will make zongzi with fresh ingredients, symbolizing harvest and celebration. Eating zongzi also implies a blessing for hard work and farmland in the past year, and it is also the expectation and hope for a bumper harvest in the coming year.
