Happy Dragon Boat Festival

Today is a traditional Chinese festival, the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls (is) on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month. This festival commemorates a patriotic poet in Chinese history, Qu Yuan. During this festival, we often make Zong Zi, a special Chinese dessert, with leave wrapped rices and other ingredients. Below are the pictures of my mom making Zong Zi.

You did a great job briefly explaining the festival. Thank you for sharing the pictures. I miss being there myself, but you brought back good memories for me. A hint I use to remember the difference between desert (a dry, barren land) and dessert (what we eat) - we like more dessert, so we use more (2) s's in that word.
