The Dragon Boat Festival holiday time in 2022 is: June 3, 2022 (Friday) - June 5, 2022 (Sunday), no adjustment.

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". In the Jin Dynasty, rice dumplings were officially designated as food for the Dragon Boat Festival. At this time, in addition to glutinous rice, the Chinese medicine Alpinia oxyphylla is also added to the ingredients for making zongzi. The cooked zongzi is called "Yiqi zongzi". During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, mixed rice dumplings appeared. Rice is mixed with animal meat, chestnuts, red dates, red beans, etc., and the varieties increase. Zongzi is also used as a gift for socializing. |
