The folklore about the origin of zongzi in Dragon Boat Festival.
According to Tang Shenyaji's Biography of Qu Yuan, people miss Qu Yuan very much after he jumped into the river. On the fifth day of May, he puts food in a bamboo tube and throws it into the water for sacrifice. During the Jianwu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man named Qu Hui in Changsha. In broad daylight, he suddenly met Qu Yuan, a doctor in San Lv, and told him that the food used for the sacrifice had been stolen by the dragon, and that if he threw it again in the future, he would wrap it with leaves of Polygonum hydropiper and colored thread. These things are afraid of dragons. He won't eat them. District Hui told the villagers about this adventure, and the villagers made zongzi carefully according to Qu Yuan's instructions. This custom has been passed down to this day.
This magical legend was first written by Wu Yun, a writer in the Liang Dynasty, and was included in Continued Harmony. It shows that Zongzi is a sacrificial food for people to commemorate Qu Yuan, and later it became the most important holiday food for the Dragon Boat Festival. As for why it should be thrown into the water, one is for Qu Yuan, and the other is to throw it into the river to feed the dragons. That is to say, Zongzi is specially used to feed Xiaolong, lest it hurt Qu Yuan's body.
Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is a record in Beginner's Book: During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, Changsha people dreamed of a man who called himself Dr. San Lv (the official name of Qu Yuan) at night and said to him, "Everything you sacrificed was stolen by the dragon in the river. You can wrap it in mugwort leaves and tie it with colorful silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. As a result, people wrapped millet in leaves and made it into corn millet, which was passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.
Another way of saying the origin of zongzi
Folklorists in Shanxi believe that the origin of zongzi is related to the story of the ancestors governing water in the ancient Sanjin Dynasty.
As an ancient historical figure, according to the textual research of Shanxi historians, Taiqian was a water conservancy official in the era of Emperor Zhuan Xu before Dayu.
At that time, the front of the stage was fighting for water control, and the north and south rushed to divert water, and all the way to Lingshi Mountain was blocked. Tai Qian led his troops to fight on Lingshi Mountain, and the drainage project was extremely difficult. People eat and live in the mountains day and night and dig mountains.
At that time, the water was full and there was no boat. When Wang Yu was in charge of water control, he walked around on foot, so he didn't enter the house three times. According to textual research, the water control in front of the stage was earlier than that in Dayu, and the water control in front of the stage was mainly based on water division. The history and legend of water control are only circulated in Shanxi, and Dayu is in charge of the Yellow River, so Dayu's footprint and achievements in water control are greater than Taiqian's. Every household on both sides of the Fenhe River has laborers working with Taiwan Province to control water. In order to ensure the timely delivery of grain to the construction site and not delay and affect people's food safety, people have come up with a way to transport grain by water. The grain is wrapped in bamboo barrels and reed leaves, boarded a raft and sent downstream to the water conservancy workers. On the way, many foods were also eaten by fish and shrimp in the water. With the flow of population, this kind of food soon spread to the Han nationality. Now in Shanxi, on May 5th, people pay homage to Fenshentai, and Zongzi is among the sacrifices.
To this day, every year at the beginning of the fifth lunar month, people in China have to soak glutinous rice, wash the leaves of zongzi and make zongzi, and the varieties of zongzi are more diverse. From the perspective of stuffing, there are many dates in the north, such as jiaozi; In the south, there are many kinds of fillings, such as bean paste, fresh meat, eight treasures, ham and egg yolk, among which Zhejiang Jiaxing Zongzi is the representative. The custom of eating zongzi has been popular in China for thousands of years and spread to South Korea, Japan and Southeast Asian countries.
