I know a custom: Dragon Boat Festival and Zongzi Making

Dragon Boat Festival, also known as Duanwu Festival, is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 5th day of the 5th lunar month. It is an ancient festival with a history of more than 2,000 years. The festival commemorates the great poet Qu Yuan, who drowned himself in the Miluo River because of his sadness over the declining state of his country.
One of the most iconic customs of the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi making. Zongzi are sticky rice dumplings, which are wrapped in bamboo leaves and shaped into various forms. They come in many flavors and are often filled with different ingredients such as red bean paste, pork, egg, or dates.
Here is the process of making zongzi:
1. Preparation: First, gather the necessary ingredients and tools, including bamboo leaves, rice, and filling materials.
2. Soak the rice: Rinse the rice and soak it in water for several hours to allow it to absorb more water and become sticky.
3. Prepare the bamboo leaves: Take the bamboo leaves and wash them thoroughly. Then, soak them in boiling water to soften them before wrapping the zongzi.
4. Shape the zongzi: Take a piece of bamboo leaf and fold it into a triangle. Place a spoonful of sticky rice and a filling material in the center. Fold the bamboo leaf over the rice and filling to form a pyramid shape.
5. Tie the zongzi: Secure the shape by tying the bamboo leaves tightly with a string.
6. Boil the zongzi: Place the wrapped zongzi in a large pot filled with water and boil them for several hours. It is important to keep the water boiling and change it if necessary to ensure that the zongzi cook evenly.
Once the zongzi are cooked, they can be served warm and are often enjoyed with a cup of tea or a bowl of vinegar to enhance the flavor.
The Dragon Boat Festival and zongzi making are not only a way to honor the memory of Qu Yuan but also a way for families and communities to come together and celebrate this time-honored tradition.
