People make rice dumplings before the festival and give them to each other as gifts on the festival. They share rice dumplings, celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival and welcome the turn of the year to summer. Zongzi is not only the perfect gift for the Dragon Boat Festival, but also reflects the characteristics of the festival, making it the first choice for Dragon Boat Festival gifts. How many rice dumplings are appropriate to send during the Dragon Boat Festival?There is generally no limit on the number of rice dumplings you give during the Dragon Boat Festival. You can usually buy a rice dumpling gift box directly. You can also make your own rice dumplings and give them to others. As for the number of rice dumplings, there is no particular requirement.The meaning of sending rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival:Sending Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival means: success in career and fameBecause "zong" and "zhong" sound similar, the word is taken to mean "to pass the imperial examination", which in ancient times meant that scholars would pass the imperial examination. In ancient times, the imperial examinations were usually held in autumn, so during the Dragon Boat Festival, those who were preparing to pass the examinations would eat rice dumplings, which could symbolize success in one go. Sending Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival means: bringing honor to the family Because "zong" and "zong" have similar pronunciations, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival means "bringing honor to the family", so every household eats zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival. Sending Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival means: driving away dragons There is such a record in "Chuxueji": During the Jianwu period of the Han Dynasty, a Changsha man dreamed of a man at night who claimed to be Sanlu Doctor (Qu Yuan's official name), and said to him: "The things you offered sacrifices to were all stolen by the dragon in the river. From now on, you can wrap them in mugwort leaves and tie them up with five-colored silk threads. Dragons are most afraid of these two things. This way you don't have to worry about being destroyed by dragons again!" So people began to make "jiaoshu" by wrapping millet with cattail leaves. It has been passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into my country's Dragon Boat Festival food. Sending Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival means: praying for a child During the Dragon Boat Festival, people will give each other nine-seed rice dumplings as a token of their wish for a child. Nine-child Zongzi is a kind of zongzi, which is nine zongzi strung together. Some are big and some are small, with the big ones on top and the small ones on the bottom. They have different shapes and are very beautiful. And it is made of nine colors of silk threads, creating a colorful look. Nine-son Zongzi is mostly given as a gift to relatives and friends, such as a mother giving it to her married daughter, a mother-in-law giving it to a newlywed, etc. Because "zongzi" sounds like "zhongzi" in Chinese, there is a folk custom that eating "zongzi" will help you get a son. "Zongzi" is the homonym of "zhongzi", which means "all sons", implying a prosperous family. Sending Zongzi during Dragon Boat Festival means: commemorating Qu Yuan The legend has it that in 340 BC, Qu Yuan, a patriotic poet and minister of the State of Chu, faced the pain of losing his country. On May 5th, he was so angry that he embraced a large stone and threw himself into the Miluo River. In order to prevent fish and shrimp from damaging his body, people filled bamboo tubes with rice and threw them into the river. Later, in order to express their respect and remembrance for Qu Yuan, people would fill bamboo tubes with rice and throw them into the river to commemorate him on this day. This is the origin of the earliest rice dumpling in my country - the "tube rice dumpling".
