So what should not be done on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May in 2019 according to the lunar calendar? Why do we eat rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival?

Why do we eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival?1. Commemorate Qu YuanIn 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 threw himself into the Miluo River with a large stone in his arms in anger. 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 offer them to him on this day. This is the origin of the earliest rice dumpling in my country - the "tube rice dumpling". Why did people later use mugwort, reed leaves or lotus leaves to wrap rice dumplings? 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 used for sacrifice were stolen by the dragon in the river. From now on you can wrap them with mugwort leaves and tie them with colorful silk threads. Dragons are most afraid of these two things." So people began to make "jiaoshu" by wrapping millet with reed leaves. It has been passed down from generation to generation and gradually developed into my country's Dragon Boat Festival food. 2. The legend of "Nine-son Zongzi" Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was so delighted after eating the nine-child rice dumpling in the palace on the Dragon Boat Festival that he praised it highly and happily composed a poem: "Flowers of all seasons are ingenious, and the nine-child rice dumplings are novel." Nine-child rice dumpling is a kind of rice dumpling, which is nine dumplings strung together, some big and some small, with the big ones on top and the small ones on the bottom, in different shapes, and 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" is homophonic to "zhongzi", which means "son", there is a folk custom that eating "zongzi" can help you have a son, hence the name "Nine-son Zongzi". Wu Manyun, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, also wrote a poem praising the nine-seed rice dumpling: "Wrapped in a tube of rice to stay overnight in spring, the nine seeds are tied with colorful threads. The green rice has faded and the skin has turned white. The cook laughs and says that the lotus roots are loose again." Zongzi not only has many shapes and varieties, but also, due to the different flavors in different parts of my country, there are mainly two types: sweet and salty. Sweet flavors include plain rice dumplings, red bean dumplings, broad bean dumplings, date dumplings, rose dumplings, melon seed dumplings, red bean paste and lard dumplings, date paste and lard dumplings, etc. The salty flavors include: pork dumplings, ham dumplings, sausage dumplings, shrimp dumplings, diced meat dumplings, etc., but pork dumplings are the most common. There are also assorted rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, mushroom rice dumplings, etc. with southern flavors; there is also the "double-flavored rice dumpling" with one end sweet and the other end salty, with two flavors in one dumpling. These rice dumplings all have different flavors with different condiments, making the rice dumpling family colorful.
