Zong Zi is a traditional food in China which is eaten on Duanwu Festival to honor Qu Yuan-one of the greatest poets(诗人) in ancient China.
Qu Yuan threw himself into the Miluo River on May 5th according to the Chinese calendar. It was said that people jumped from boats into the river and tried to save him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then dropped Zong Zi into the river to keep fish away from Qu Yuan’s body. In order to remember Qu Yuan, people named the day Duanwu Festival or Dragon Boat Festival. Also people have dragon-boat races and eat Zong Zi that day every year.
In the past, Zong Zi was made only once a year on Duanwu Festival, but now it is quite different. Zong Zi is now not only made for Duanwu Festival. People can eat Zong Zi at any time of the year, Also , different areas have developed different styles. Some types of Zong Zi are made with meat or egg yolds(蛋黄).Was Qu Yuan a poet in ancient China?
