The Dragon Boat Festival coincides with the time of ancient imperial exams. As 'zong' sounds like 'zhong' , meaning 'to pass,' giving zongzi to students before exams became a tradition. Zongzi were used to worship the Great Emperor Wenchang or the Star of Literature, and teachers gave students blessed zongzi for success. Today, during the Dragon Boat Festival, we offer the 'Rising High with Zongzi' gift box to wish all exam-takers success and a bright future.
