Question

【題目】Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food. In the Western world, it is also known as rice dumplings. It is traditionally eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar.

A popular belief about the festival is the death of Qu Yuan. He is a famous Chinese poet from the kingdom of Chu. When his country was defeated by the kingdom of Qin, Qu Yuan was so hopeless that he drowned himself in the Miluo River. According to the legend, people threw rice into the river to stop the fish from eating the poet’s body.

There are many kinds of shapes about zongzi. Making zongzi is a skill that is passed down through families. It is also a traditional family event that everyone will be interested in.

The fillings used for zongzi are different from region to region, but the rice used is almost always the sticky rice. Depending on the region, the rice may be lightly cooked or soaked(浸泡) in water before being used. In the north, fillings are mostly red beans and red dates(紅棗).

In the past, zongzi was made only once a year on the Dragon Boat Festival, but now it is quite different. People can eat zongzi at any time of a year. And we can find all kinds of zongzi at traditional markets.
