The Tale of Qu Yuan

粽子的

The Origin of

The ZANG. 3 // Origin of Zang

來源


屈原

是公元300年千在楚國的愛國 詩人。看在自己的國家快被敵 軍打垮,在宮里的貪官又做事 不理,屈原實在看不下去, 只好 投下汨羅河結束生命。

Qu Yuan

was a statesman and poet that lived in the 3rd c BC in the Chu State. Being an uprighteous and loyal man, he could not bear to see his country being destroyed by corrupted officials whilst he was powerless do anything.

Thus he decided to end his life by drowning himself in the Miluo River. 4 // Origin of Zang


When fishermen saw him committing suicide, they raced to save him in their boats, beating drums to scare away the water dragons and creatures that might feed on his body. However, they failed to find him in the river.

在河邊的漁民看見了,馬上叫 人一起去搶救。他們一邊划船, 一邊打鑼鼓,想把在水里的龍 和魚嚇跑,不讓它們傷害到屈 原的屍體。

In order to prevent the fishes from eating his body, they threw in

5 // Origin of Zang

rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and tied with colorful strings as a decoy.


後來還是找不到屈 原,漁民們為了避 免水里的魚來吃屈 原的屍體,就把米 飯用葉子和彩帶包 成粽子,仍進河里。 就這樣,端午節龍 舟和包粽子的傳 統開始了。

Henceforth, the tradition of Dragonboat and Rice Dumpling Festival started. 6 // Origin of Zang

餡料 FILLINGS Dumpling fillings could vary widely according to one’s preference and taste and could be both savoury or sweet. The most common ones are nonya meat fillings, salted duck eggs, chinese mushrooms, roasted chestnuts etc. But of course some zongzi contain no filling at all and could be eaten plain or with sugar.

竹葉

BAMBOO LEAVES Long bamboo leaves are used for wrapping zongzi because they give off a distinctive fragrance. They are usually available in the dried goods section of a wet market or at any sundry shop.

草繩

STRINGS Raffia string is commonly used for tying zangs. It comes in rolled bundles and could be bought almost anywhere from stationery shops to to your friendly provision stores.

Soften the dried leaves by soaking them in hot water and then cleanse gently before use.

糯米

GLUTINOUS RICE Glutinous rice are sometimes known as sticky rice because of its texture. When raw, they are milky white and more opaque and shorter than normal rice. Could be bought at most supermarkets. Remember to wash the raw rice and soak them in water for ideally 4 hrs before wrapping your zongzi! 10 // Basic ingredients
