Jiaxing Zongzi has a long history. Six or seven thousand years ago, our ancestors gave birth to Majiabang culture, the representative of the early Neolithic culture in Taihu Lake basin in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is one of the sources of the ancient civilization of the Chinese nation and one of the earliest origins of rice cultivation in China. Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Jiaxing has developed into the most important rice-growing area in the history of China, and is known as the "granary in the world". Tang Li Han said in "Jiaxing's Political Achievements in Reclaiming Fields": "Jiahe is a good place, and Jianghuai is healthy; Jiahe apologized, and Jianghuai was embarrassed.

At the same time, Jiaxing is also an important commercial pig production base in China, with high yield and quality of broilers and fresh eggs. These rich and high-quality raw materials of agricultural and sideline products have created very favorable conditions for the development of various kinds of rice dumplings, which is also an important factor that later formed the unique quality of Wufangzhai rice dumplings.
