粽子，由粽叶包裹糯米蒸制而成的食品，是中国传统节庆食物之一。端午食粽的风俗，千百年来，在中国盛行不衰。

此外粽因其谐音，‘笔粽’，‘一举高粽’等寓意说法从古流传至今。

Zongzi, a food made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves and steamed, is one of the traditional Chinese festival foods. The custom of eating zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival has been popular in China for thousands of years.

Zongzi is homophonic with the word for success in Chinese, so students eating zongzi before major exams also means praying for good results in the exams.
