I saw many people bought Ay Tsao in the street today.Yeh, tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival!I believe most of you have never heard of this festival.Let me tell more detail.
It is a triditional festivel in China on 5th of the Lunar fifth month.People in the whole country will celebrate it to celebrate a famous minister ——Qu Yuan.
On that day, Every family hang Ay Tsao on their front door to avoid bad luch.AY Tso is a kind of plant which could used in acupucture.
Every family will also make Tzung Tzu themselves in the past years. This kind of food is made up of glutinous rice and pork meat and covered with leaves of reed. Take a tast ,your mouth is filled with sweetness of the meat and leaves.
