The leaves used to make the rice dumplings are bamboo leaves and reed leaves, and the rope used to make the rice dumplings is Malan grass. Malan grass, also known as malan grass and malan flower, usually grows on grasslands, roadsides, wastelands, hillsides and other locations. It can tolerate saline-alkali soil and has very strong vitality. It is suitable for making rice dumplings with malan grass, which is very strong and environmentally friendly. However, in order to save trouble and money, people now use white ropes and red ropes to represent malan grass.
