Although most areas eat zongzi, but the taste and shape is not the same, especially this shape, there are weighing hammer shape, axe shape, oblique four edge ...... tied zongzi way is not the same, such as needle zongzi, zongzi and so on. What you may not know is that a long time ago, there was only one shape of zongzi, which was horn-shaped, called "cornu".

The history of cornflower is even earlier than that of Qu Yuan. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the gods of all things were sacrificed during the summer solstice. At this time, they would follow the example of the ancients and sacrifice with horns. Wrapped with wild leaves and millet into a horn shape. then why was it called zongzi later? the explanation given in "compendium of materia medica" by li shizhen was that the corncorn was much like the leaf heart of palm, so it was called zongzi.
