Zongzi is a traditional Chinese food made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves. It is typically filled with various ingredients, such as meat, beans, or nuts, and then steamed or boiled. Zongzi is especially popular during the Duanwu Festival, also known as the Dragon Boat Festival, which commemorates the ancient poet Qu Yuan.
The shape of zongzi can vary, but they are often triangular or rectangular. This dish has a long history, dating back over 2,000 years, and is enjoyed not only in China but also in other countries with Chinese communities. Zongzi is a symbol of cultural heritage and family traditions.
