In China tradition, purple is the color of kings. For example, the Forbidden City in Beijing is also called the Forbidden City, and there is also a saying that "purple gas comes from the east". Purple represents nobility, which is often the favorite color of nobles. Because the purple dye commonly used by Tyre people in the ancient Roman Empire was only worn by nobles, and the clothes dyed were almost scarlet, which was also very popular with the monarch at that time. In Christianity, purple stands for sadness. Purple also represents courage and courage. Zongzi is eaten in memory of Qu Yuan, a great patriotic general. It has made many contributions to the country. I hope everyone can think of this number when eating zongzi, and I also hope that this great number will not be forgotten.
Zongzi is a traditional food. There are so many stresses on eating Zongzi, which shows the significance of Zongzi. There is such a record in the Book of Beginners. During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed at night that a man who claimed to be San Lv said to him, "What you sacrificed was stolen by the dragon in the river. You can wrap it with mugwort leaves and tie it with five-color silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things, so you don't have to worry about being wiped out by dragons again. " So, people made "horn millet" with "leaves wrapped in millet". From generation to generation, it has gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China. Another folklore: making zongzi actually implies that Qu Yuan was tied up and thrown into the water to kill him instead of committing suicide.
