I have been given a bag of frozen zongzi from a Chinese friend whose mother made them and couriered them here. I had already read the history behind the festival. It is not altogether to do with boats.

Overseas students learn to wrap zongzi, or glutinous rice dumplings, using bamboo leaves at Siping county in Jinhua city, Zhejiang province on May 28, 2016. Eating Zongzi has become a custom during the Dragon Boat Festival, symbolizing the rice offerings to Qu Yuan. [Photo/VCG]
