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.
Zongzi is a pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice and wrapped in bamboo or reed leaves to give it a special flavor.Its taste varies greatly across China.Zongzi is often made of rice mixed with dates in Northern China,because dates are abundant in the area.Eastern China's Jiaxing County is famous for its pork-stuffed Zongzi.In the southern province of Guangdong,people stuff Zongzi with pork,ham,chestnuts and other ingredients,making them very rich in flavor.In Sichuan province,Zongzi is usually served with a sugar dressing.Most people still maintain the tradition of eating Zongzi on the day of the Duanwu Festival.But the special delicacy has become so popular that you can now buy it all the year round.
