Making Zhong (glutinous rice dumplings)! The story behind it is, the patriotic minister (and famous poet) Qu Yuan was banished from court by the corrupt council and eventually drowned himself in a river out of despair. People went out in dragonboats to try and save him, and when they were unable to, they threw these dumplings into the water to stop the fish from eating his body.
