(1) In memory of Qu Yuan
In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of Chu State, faced with the pain of national subjugation, was filled with grief and indignation. On May 5, he threw a big stone into Guluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from hurting his health, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into the river to attract fish and shrimp to eat. Later, in order to show respect and memory for Qu Yuan, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into memorial ceremonies on this day, which is the origin of the earliest zongzi in China-"tube zongzi".
Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is such a record in the Elementary 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 them with mugwort leaves and tie the five-color silk thread later. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. " So, people made "corn millet" with "leaves wrapped in millet". From generation to generation, it has gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.
(2) "set cooking" theory
When cooked food with fire was invented 500,000 years ago, people wrapped food with leaves, cooked it in the fire, peeled off the leaves and ate it. Although it's not called Zongzi, it's already formed. After 400,000 years of spring and autumn, we entered the era of stone cooking. Our ancestors were able to dig holes in the ground, put hides in the holes and fill them with water. We put hot stones in it to make the water boil, and simmer the raw materials wrapped in plant leaves until they are mature, more like zongzi now.

A brief introduction to the origin of zongzi
Zongzi has a long history. In the spring and autumn period, millet was wrapped in mushroom, water and bamboo leaves into a horn shape, which was called "horn millet". Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and baked, which is called "tube zongzi". During the Warring States Period, after San Lv, a doctor of Chu State, and Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet, committed suicide by throwing themselves into the Miluo River, people put rice in bamboo tubes to let the fish eat rice instead of biting Qu Yuan's body. On the other hand, it is a sacrifice to Qu Yuan. Zongzi has always been an indispensable food for the Dragon Boat Festival. In addition to commemorating Qu Yuan, Zongzi is also considered to be related to Wu Zixu belief in Jiangsu and other places. According to local chronicles, "It is not Qu Yuan who serves Dr. Wu with zongzi in the afternoon." "Local Customs of the Western Jin Dynasty" wrote: "Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, cooking corn." The Book of Qi Yao Min (Volume 9) quoted local custom records to describe Zongzi as "obscuring the image when Yin and Yang are still in the same phase". During the Southern Liang Dynasty, jiaozi was wrapped on May 5th, and the jiaozi was stamped with neem leaves and wrapped with colorful silk thread. According to the legend that "harmony is different from the continuation of Qi", in the middle of the Jianwu period of Guangwu Emperor, there was a man in Changsha who called himself "Doctor San Lv" and said, "It is very kind to see a gentleman as a sacrifice. Stolen by dragons all the year round. If there is any benefit today, it should be stuffed with neem leaves and wrapped in colored silk. These two things are what Xiaolong is afraid of. " Extended data:
I. Interesting story 1. The earliest cultural relics department in De 'an County, Jiangxi Province found two physical zongzi in a Song Dynasty tomb in September 1988. According to research, this is the earliest physical zongzi found in the world. Located in the suburb of De 'an County, the tomb was buried in A.D. 1274. The owner of the tomb holds a peach branch 40 cm long in his right hand, and two prismatic zongzi are hung on the peach branch. Zongzi is 6 cm long and 3 cm wide, tied on both sides of peach branches respectively. The skin is zongzi leaves, and ramie is tied. According to experts, the early Zongzi was put in a coffin as a memorial service to show condolences to relatives. Pairing two zongzi symbolizes good luck. 2. Tang Wei Juyuan's recipe includes Xi 'an's oldest honey dumplings. It is characterized by using glutinous rice without stuffing, cooking it, cooling it, drawing it into thin slices with silk thread when eating it, and pouring honey and yellow osmanthus sauce-white sugar pickled osmanthus sauce. Big meat dumplings are produced in Nanning, Guangxi, each weighing about two kilograms. Inside are fat pork and mung beans, which are soft and sweet, but not greasy. The largest zongzi ever appeared in Zhuang nationality in Guangxi. Its production method is to put banana leaves in an extra-large square cage, mix 50 kilograms of washed glutinous rice with soy sauce, then mix the meat of a pig leg peeled and cut into small squares, cover the surface with a layer of banana leaves, and steam it in water. This kind of zongzi is called "Kouzongba" by Zhuang people, and it can be used for a family to stutter for two months. According to the Hong Kong media, nine elderly people in Hong Kong once packed/kloc-0 zongzi weighing 36 kilograms for 250 people to eat. 1989 During the Dragon Boat Festival, Changhua County, Taiwan once made an extra-large zongzi weighing 350 kilograms. Jiaozi in Guangdong is very big. After cooking, 1 jiaozi served on the table, but none of the four young people could eat. Thirdly, the smallest and smallest zongzi are in Shanghai Chenghuang Temple, Lubo Gallery and Hu Xin Pavilion. About an inch long, shaped like a pillow, filled with ham, small and fresh; Huting thinks tea and food are great. In some restaurants in Shanghai, banquet snacks are served with "mini zongzi", which is as small as a finger. Every 50g of glutinous rice can wrap 4 small pieces of ham. White lines wrap green leaves, delicate and elegant. It really looks like a handicraft, and people can't put it down. Fourth, the earliest quick-frozen variety 1995, Sanquan Food developed the first quick-frozen zongzi in China food industry, and has been persistently promoting the development and innovation of the zongzi industry.

The origin of zongzi
The traditional custom of eating palm seeds on Dragon Boat Festival is related to commemorating Qu Yuan. Legend has it that after Quyuan jumped into the river, fishermen near Luo Huan immediately came to the rescue by boat. In order to rescue Qu Yuan's body as soon as possible, some people paddled with wooden boards and pole, and several people rowed down the river to Dongting Lake, but they never found it. People here are worried that Qu Yuan's body will be eaten by fish, so they put rice in bamboo slips and let the fish eat it so as not to hurt him. In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D. 1 century), there was a man named Qu Hui in Changsha who slept during the day and dreamed that Qu Yuan said to him, "I am very grateful to hear that you are coming to sacrifice to me.
However, every year, the rice sacrificed by everyone in the water is taken away by Xiaolong. I hope you can plug the bamboo tube with neem leaves and wrap it with five-color silk thread, because Xiaolong is afraid of these things. "The back did as he said. This is probably the reason why every family packs brown seeds on May 5th of the Dragon Boat Festival. According to Xiao Liang Wu Yun's "Continuation of Qi and Harmony", "The world is brown and there are colorful neem leaves, which are the legacy of Miluo. "
Therefore, during the Dragon Boat Festival, people have the custom of eating palm seed and rowing dragon boats.

The origin of zongzi
One of the origins of zongzi
On the origin of zongzi in the ad period. In 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and doctor of Chu State, faced with the pain of national subjugation, was filled with grief and indignation. On May 5, he threw a big stone into Guluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from hurting his health, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into the river to attract fish and shrimp to eat. Later, in order to show respect and memory for Qu Yuan, people put rice in bamboo tubes and put it into memorial ceremonies on this day, which is the origin of China's earliest Zongzi-"Tongzong".
Why did you wrap zongzi with wormwood leaves or reed leaves and lotus leaves later? There is such a record in the Elementary 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 with mugwort leaves and tie it with colorful silk thread in the future. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. " As a result, people made "corn millet" with "corn leaves wrapped inside". From generation to generation, it has gradually developed into the Dragon Boat Festival food in China.
Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, after eating Jiuzi Zongzi in his palace during the Dragon Boat Festival, was overjoyed and full of praise, and happily wrote a poem: "The four seasons are beautiful, and Jiuzi Zongzi seeks novelty." Jiuzi Zongzi: It is a kind of Zongzi, that is, nine Zongzi are connected in a string, big and small, the big one is on the top and the small one is on the bottom, with different shapes and very beautiful. And nine colors of silk thread tied together to form colorful. Jiuzi Zongzi is mostly used as a gift for relatives and friends, such as a gift from a mother to her married daughter and a gift from her mother-in-law to her wedding. Because "Zongzi" is homophonic "neutron", there is a folk custom that eating "Zongzi" can give birth to sons, so "Jiuzi Zongzi" is a symbol of many children and many blessings. Wu Manyun, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote a poem praising Jiuzi Zongzi: "Even a bucket of rice is wrapped in spring, Jiuzi's colorful light is re-tied, the green leaves are all white, and the lotus root is loose."
The origin of Zongzi II
The origin of zongzi in ancient times. The Dragon Boat Festival is actually given to ancestors by later generations. The ancients actually had various views on the Dragon Boat Festival. According to Qi Xie, they were afraid that the rice sacrificed to Qu Yuan would be stolen by dragons, so they created this kind of zongzi. Because dragons are afraid of neem leaves and green silk. But Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica says, "Making zongzi is a common thing. The ancients cooked it with reed leaves wrapped in millet, with sharp corners, such as the heart shape of palm leaves, so it was called Zongzi, or corn. In modern times, glutinous rice is often used. Nowadays, May 5th is regarded as a festival, a gift, or a sacrifice to Qu Yuan. Throw this into the river and feed it to the dragon. " Because of Li Shizhen's statement, Wen Yiduo said that "Dragon Boat Festival is the ancestor worship day for people who worship dragon totem".
The earliest record of zongzi was "Scenery" written by Zhou Department of Xinping Prefecture about 0/600 years ago in the Western Jin Dynasty: "Midsummer Dragon Boat Festival, cooking millet." 200 years later, Wu Yun, a Southern Liang writer, said in The Story of the Continuation of Qi: "Qu Yuan died in Miluo on May 5, and the Chu people mourned it, so they stored rice in bamboo tubes and sacrificed it with water." So the rumor passed down and became a custom. It can be seen that people have deep feelings for loyal people Zongzi didn't come to commemorate the death of Qu Yuan. There are many opinions about its origin. The most convincing is the theory of "package cooking", that is, when cooked food with fire was invented 500,000 years ago, in order to be palatable, the food was wrapped with leaves and cooked in the fire, and then peeled and eaten. This is not called Zongzi, but it has been shaped. After 400,000 years of spring and autumn, we entered the era of stone cooking. Our ancestors were able to dig holes in the ground, put hides in the holes and fill them with water. We put hot stones in it to make the water boil, and simmer the raw materials wrapped in plant leaves until they are mature, more like zongzi now. The appearance of zongzi is as mentioned at the beginning of this article, but it is used to worship ancestors; He also said that in order to commemorate Qu Yuan's martyrdom, both theories made sense.
The origin of Zongzi III
The origin of zongzi in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to records, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, millet was wrapped into horns by leaves of zinia latifolia, which was called "horny millet". Rice packed in bamboo tubes is sealed and baked, which is called "tube zongzi". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, millet soaked in plant ash water. Because the water contains alkali, millet is wrapped in leaves and cooked in quadrangles, which is called Guangdong sour water zongzi.
In Jin Dynasty, Zongzi was officially designated as Dragon Boat Festival food. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, jiaozi also added Alpinia oxyphylla, and the boiled jiaozi was called "Yizhi jiaozi". Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnuts, red dates, red beans and so on. And there are more and more varieties. Zongzi is also used as a gift for communication.
In the Tang Dynasty, the rice used for zongzi was "white as jade", and its shape appeared conical and rhombic. There is a record of "Da Tang Zongzi" in Japanese literature. In the Song Dynasty, there was already a "candied jiaozi", that is, fruits entered jiaozi. The poet Su Dongpo has a poem "See Yangmei in Zongzi". At this time, there were also advertisements for building pavilions and wooden chariots and horses with zongzi, indicating that eating zongzi was very fashionable in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, the wrapping material of zongzi changed from leaves to leaves. Later, zongzi wrapped in reed leaves appeared, and additional materials such as bean paste, pork, pine nuts, dates and walnuts appeared, and the varieties were more colorful.
To this day, at the beginning of the fifth lunar month every year, people in China have to soak glutinous rice, wash the leaves of zongzi and wrap zongzi, which is far less shocking than Huzhou Zongzi.
There are more kinds of colors. 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.
