Bak chang (or <\/span>zongzi<\/span><\/i> in Chinese) is a pyramid-shaped glutinous rice with pork belly and other savoury fillings wrapped in bamboo leaves. The Dragonboat Festival, which falls on the fifth day of the fifth month on the lunar calendar, commemorates the death of Qu Yuan \u2013 a poet in China\u2019s Warring States period. According to folklore, he drowned himself in a river to warn the people about an impending invasion. People made bak chang and threw them in the river in the hopes that the fish would not eat his corpse. Today, bak chang continues to be a staple during the Dragonboat Festival.<\/span><\/p>\n
