Ingredients in Zongzi
Relevant documents were first found in "Fengtu Ji" written in Zhou Dynasty in the Western Jin Dynasty in the third century AD, and it was not originally related to sacrifices. After hundreds of years, later generations embedded its origins into folk beliefs in various places, and derived legends about dragon sacrifices, Wu Zixu or Qu dollar.

Dragon Boat Festival
The Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in the Chinese cultural circle. It is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month every year.

Along with the New Year and Mid-Autumn Festival, it is an important traditional festival in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, the Japanese Islands, the Ryukyu Islands, the Korean Peninsula, and Vietnam in the cultural circle of Chinese characters. In September 2009, UNESCO officially approved its inclusion in the Representative List of Human Intangible Cultural Heritage, making the Dragon Boat Festival the first Chinese festival to be selected as a world intangible cultural heritage.
According to widespread legend, Qu dollar, the patriotic poet of Chu State, committed suicide by drowning himself in the Miluo River on this day. Later, in memory of Qu dollar, some people called it Poet's Day. It may be said that it is the death day of Wu Zixu, a loyal minister of the state of Wu.

#Should Be / Avoided：
The glutinous rice in traditional rice dumplings is highly sticky, which can easily cause flatulence and slow digestion. However, the five-grain healthy rice dumplings contain crude fiber, which can cause gastrointestinal discomfort for people with poor digestive function. Traditional rice dumplings are often filled with high-fat and high-salt fillings, which can slow down the digestion speed of the intestines and stimulate more gastric acid secretion, which in turn can cause gastric ulcers. It is recommended to limit one rice dumpling to one meal and chew slowly to avoid indigestion.
