This Dragon Boat Festival, let's make zongzi by ourselves
Zongzi is the traditional custom of Dragon Boat Festival. According to historical records, eating zongzi originated from the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period. People gradually handed it down in memory of Qu Yuan, the official of the Chu state. We always make zongzi by ourselves during the Dragon Boat Festival in Ansha every year. We buy zongzi leaves, glutinous rice, dates, raisins and so on. Although there are some troubles, it's just because of the trouble and labor that the zongzi you make and the finished zongzi you buy taste very different.
