粽子又称“角黍”，“筒粽”，在晋代被正式定为端午节食品。在当时，粽子还用作礼尚往来之物。如今，粽子的花色品种更为繁多。从馅料看，北方多包小枣的北京枣粽，南方以浙江嘉兴粽子为代表。吃粽子的风俗，千百年来，在中国盛行不衰，而且流传到东亚及东南亚等国。

I. Eating Zongzi

Zongzi, also known as "Corn Millet" and "Tube Zongzi", was officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food in Jin Dynasty. At that time, zongzi was also used as a ritual object. Nowadays, there are more varieties of rice dumplings. From the stuffing point of view, Beijing jujube zongzi with many small bags in the north is represented by Jiaxing zongzi in Zhejiang Province in the south. The custom of eating zongzi has been prevalent in China for thousands of years and spread to East Asia and Southeast Asia.

二、赛龙舟

赛龙舟前，先要请龙、祭神。人们祭祀龙神庙时气氛很严肃，多祈求农业丰收、风调雨顺、去灾异、事事如意，也保佑划船平安。划龙舟时，多有唱歌或念口号助兴。声音雄浑壮美，扣人心弦，也增加赛龙舟时的氛围。

2. Dragon Boat Race

Before the Dragon Boat race, please invite the dragon and worship the God first. When people worship the Dragon Temple, the atmosphere is very serious. They pray for a good harvest in agriculture, good weather, disaster relief, good luck in everything, and also for the safety of boating. When rowing dragon boats, there are often singing or chanting slogans to cheer up. The sound is magnificent and exciting, which also increases the atmosphere of dragon boat racing.

三、挂艾草

民谚说：“清明插柳，端午插艾”。艾草所产生的奇特芳香，可驱蚊蝇、虫蚁，净化空气。是提神通窍、健骨消滞、杀虫灭菌的良物。端午节在家门口挂艾草，就像贴上一道灵符，可以趋利避害。人们一般会将艾草绑成一束，然后插在门楣上，或是在门楣两端分别插上一根艾草。

The folk proverb says, "Put willows in the clear sky and Ai in the Dragon Boat Festival". The peculiar aroma produced by argyrophytes can repel mosquitoes, flies and ants and purify the air. It is a good product for invigorating the mind and promoting the resuscitation, invigorating the bones and eliminating stagnation, insecticidal and sterilization. Dragon Boat Festival hangs mugwort at the door of the house, just like putting a magic charm on it, which can be beneficial and avoid harm. People usually tie a bunch of mugwort and insert it on the lintel, or insert a mugwort on both ends of the lintel.

Tzung Tzu(粽子) A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat festival is tzung tzu. This tasty dish consists of rice dumplings with meat, peanut, egg yolk, or other fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The tradition of tzung tzu is meant to remind us of the village fishermen scattering rice across the water of the Mi Low river in order to appease the river dragons so that they would not devour Chu Yuan.粽子英文介绍 During the Duanwu Festival, a glutinous rice pudding called zong zi is eaten to symbolize the rice offerings to Qu. Ingredients such as beans, lotus seeds（莲子）, chestnuts（栗子）, pork fat and the golden yolk of a salted duck egg are often added to the glutinous rice. The pudding is then wrapped with bamboo leaves, bound with a kind of raffia and boiled in salt water for hours. Many traditional Chinese foods are intended to honor either the gods or divine persons in history. Zong Zi - a glutinous rice dumpling wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves - is no exception. It is meant to honor Qu Yuan (340-278 BC.), the pioneer poet of ancient China.Qu Yuan was a famous poet who was also concerned about the fate of his government. Unfortunately his stature aroused the jealousy of the king, who banished him to a remote area. The poet despaired of the government and its policies. When the state's capital was captured by enemies, he committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River (on May 5th according to the Chinese lunar calendar). The Chinese people felt this loss deeply, as he was a much beloved poet. Local folk searched for him in the river, meanwhile dropping dumplings of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves into the river in order to keep the fishes from attacking Qu Yuan's body.Since that time, it has been customary on this day to enjoy Zong Zi dumplings as a memorial to the patriotic poet.In addition, there is also a festival called the Duan Wu or Dragon Boat Festival. If you ever visit China during the Dragon Boat Festival, you can't miss the nationwide custom of enjoying Zong Zi. You are sure to be impressed with the delicacy of this snack, and with the faint scent of the leaves imprinted on the skin of the dumplings.I still remember making and enjoying Zong Zi as a child. Along with my brothers and sisters I hovered around the stove, begging to have a taste, unable to wait until they were cooked. We were very eager since the food was made only once a year on May 5th. But now it is quite different. The Chinese Zong Zi is not only made for the Duan Wu Festival. It is available at any time of the year. And local areas have developed their own styles and varieties of dumpling.The main ingredient of Zong Zi is the glutinous rice. The next most important ingredient is the bamboo or reed leaves which form the wrapping and make Zong Zi distinct from other types of Chinese dumplings. The filling often contains either dates or sweetened red bean paste. These are the ones I once had in my family. I like them much more than the ones with meat but my brother doesn't. He says the meat ones are terrific.The leading place for the food is Jia Xing, an ancient town in Zhejiang province. Many different types of Zong Zi are made here. At Wu Fang Zhai, a monopolistic food processor, you'll find all the ingredients you need: the dumplings with meat, sweetened bean paste and chestnuts, lotus seeds, dates, and yolk of egg.If the materials are available to you, it is quite possible for you to make Chinese Zong Zi at home; both for pleasure and maybe also to honor the great poet, Qu Yuan. By the way, in the year 2006 the Dragon Boat Festival happens to fall on May 31st, according to the solar calendar. You'd better prepare a net for the fish.Here is a recipe for Zong Zi:(makes ten dumplings)1. 50 sheets of bamboo or reed leaves2. Glutinous rice (1 kilogram)3. Chinese dates (250 grams)Directions:1.Soak the rice and the dates 12 hours or more till they are soaked thoroughly.2.Wash the leaves.3.A chopping board is necessary for laying out the leaves.4.Fold the leaves flat at the leafstalk to make a sheet.5.Hold the sheet, fold it round in the middle and make a funnel till both ends are laid over each other in one direction.6.Use about 1/10 kg. of rice and 6 dates for each dumpling. The dates must be covered by the rice so that they won't lose too much syrup in cooking.7.Fold the leaves up to seal the open side of the funnel and tie the bundle with a band made of twisted leaves. Make sure that the bundle is tied neither too tight nor too loose. This helps make sure that the ingredients are well cooked.8.Put the dumplings in a pot, cover with water and make sure they are pressed and kept still while being boiled.9.Cooking time: 40 minutes in a pressure cooker; 2 hours in an ordinary pot.
