The Dragon Boat Festival, the 5th day of the 5th lunar month, was established during the Warring States period (475-221 BC) and has had a history of more than 2,000 years. It is usually in June in the Gregorian calendar.
These traditions originated in the Mi Low waters when fishermen threw rice into the river to appease the river dragons so that they would not harm Chu Yuan.
Due to the differences in food culture between the south and the north, the fillings of zongzi are different. In the north, there are mostly sweet zongzi made with bean paste and date, while in the south, there are mostly salty zongzi made with meat and nut.In Asian countries such as Korea, South Korea and Japan, it is also customary to eat glutinous rice dumpling.
