The Most Celebrated Customary Chinese Dumplings

We all love the palatable Chinese dumplings because of its out of the ordinary oriental taste, don't we? Do you know that most of the traditional foods in China are offered for the honor of dear Chinese gods? One example of these customary foods is the Zong Zi that is a gloppy rice dumpling especially wrapped with bamboo leaves or with reed leaves. This out of the ordinary oriental delight is for the honor of a exceptional poet, Qu Yuan. He was the first Chinese poet who received a high adoration from the ablaze Chinese people.

How Zong Zi became a customary food in China, during festivities and occasions, is attractive. Qu Yuan, the ancient poet, was said to be a best-loved of Chinese people because of his magnificent talent; that was why the king became jealous of him and his glory. Consequently, the unsophisticated king banished the celebrated poet to a secluded area. Soon, the poet was embittered by the Chinese government and he ended his dismal life in the deep waters of Miluo River. When the people heard the painful news, they intensely searched for his body. They actually threw a lot of gloppy Zong Zi at the river to distract the fishes who might want to devour the famous poet's body. As the fading time passes, they did not recover the body; so, Zong Zi has become a customary food in a colorful Chinese culture.
