那关于粽子，你又知道多少呢？  How much do you know about zongzi?

关于【粽子】一词的记载，比较早的可以在东汉许慎的《说文解字》中找到，“粽”字本作“糉”，这个“糉”：“芦叶裹米也。“一下就说到了粽子是怎么制作的。The earliest record of the word zongzi can be found in 《Shuo Wen Jie Zi》 (说文解字) written by XuShen in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "zong【粽】" originally means "zong【糉】", which means "reed leaves wrapped with rice". It talked about how zongzi are made.

粽子在古代也叫角黍、筒粽，都是从它的形状或原料来形容，当然今天粽子的原料和形状太五花八门了，多种多样。Zongzi in ancient times also called Jiao Shu【角黍】、 Tong Zong【筒粽】, are from its shape or raw materials to describe, of course, today's raw materials and shapes of zongzi is too multifarious, a variety of.

所以每到端午节的时候，就像中秋节的时候，甜月餅和咸月饼会打一打。端午节的甜粽派和咸粽派也要斗一斗。So every Dragon Boat Festival, like the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a fight between sweet and salty moon cakes. There is also a battle between sweet and salty Zongzi on Dragon Boat Festival.

那你是更喜欢吃甜粽子还是咸粽子呢？Do you prefer sweet or salty zongzi?
