Zongzi, known as jiaosu in ancient times, is also called Zongzi _, which is a kind of food steamed with glutinous rice wrapped in Zongzi leaves and is one of the traditional festival foods of the Chinese nation. Originally used as a tribute to ancestors, it is said that Zongzi was passed down in memory of Qu Yuan who threw himself into the river.
There are many kinds of zongzi. According to the stuffing, there are Beijing jujube zongzi wrapped with dates in the north. In the south, there are many kinds of fillings, such as mung bean, pork belly and rubber, red bean paste, eight treasures, ham, mushrooms and egg yolk, among which Guangdong salted meat zongzi and Zhejiang Jiaxing zongzi are the representatives. In 212, Zongzi was selected as one of the series of delicacies in the second episode of the documentary China on the Tip of the Tongue, The Story of Staple Food.
due to different regions, there are great differences in materials and leaves of zongzi, and even the shape of the wrapping is quite different from that of Bi Xun. For example, in the early days, it was popular for people to worship heaven with horns, so in the Han and Jin Dynasties, zongzi was mostly made into an angle before, as one of the articles for ancestor worship. In addition, there are generally regular triangles, regular quadrangles, pointed triangles, squares, long shapes and so on.
