中国古馔文化之粽子Chinese Ancient food Culture--Zongzi

粽子是为了祭中国古代著名的诗人屈原的祭食。用芦苇叶包成六角形，称为角黍。唐、宋时期有锥粽、锤粽、菱粽、九子粽等，但流传至今的仅有三角粽了。粽子分为甜粽与鹹粽。甜粽主要有红豆馅。鹹粽有鹹肉、鹹蛋黄、火腿粽等。粽子制作是粽叶包入糯米，加入红豆、鹹肉等馅料，裹紧，用绳扎实，蒸煮而成。口感香糯，有弹性，十分好味。

Zongzi, as a sacrifice, is made for Qu yuan, a famous poet in ancient Chinese. It is called Jiaoshu with a hexagonal shape wrapped in reed leaves. During the Tang and Song dynasties, there were many kinds of zongzi including cone-shaped, hammer-shaped, rhombic, and nine-combined zongzi, but only the triangle zongzi has been handed down.
