The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the Dragon Boat Festival, also known as the Duanyang Festival, the Munch Day, the Ai Festival, the Duan Fifth, the Afternoon Day, and the Summer Festival. Although the names are different, the customs of people in various places are the same. The Dragon Boat Festival is an old custom in my country for more than 2,000 years. Every day on this day, every household hangs a statue of a bell Kui, hangs mugwort leaf and calamus, races dragon boats, eats rice dumplings, tunes realgar wine, travels around all diseases, and matches fragrant sachets to prepare the sacrifice wine.
This year's Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, and I made many rice dumplings early, including meat dumplings with sausage, sweet dumplings with candied dates and peanuts, and sweet dumplings with red beans.

1) When making rice dumplings, the thread should be tight to avoid loosening during cooking. 2) It is best to run the glutinous rice for 1 hour in advance so that the glutinous rice absorbs water thoroughly and is easier to cook when cooking.
