The Dragon Boat Festival, falling on the 5th of the 5th lunar month, is a traditional celebration dating back more than 2,000 years. To celebrate the festival, Chinese people would eat Zongzi, a pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves. There are several versions about the origin of this festival. Some argue that it was a festival commemorating patriotic poet Qu Yuan while others believe that it is a celebration related to the worship of the dragon.
