It exists because of memorizing QU YUAN (c. 340–278 BC). He was a famous poet and politician from the Kingdom of Chu who lived during the Warring States period. According to the legend, people had thrown the wrapped rice into river for feeding fishes living there instead of eating Qu Yuan's body after he committed suicide by drowning in the Miluo River.
Gradually, the wrapped rice had been changed to Zongzi, is wrapped sticky rice in bamboo leaves with various fillings. Then they will be cooked by steaming or boiling. 
FOR ME, I really like the PORK ZONGZI. It is a savoury Zongzi with pork belly. Actually, there is a large variety of Zongzi depending on different regions in China. So that, the savoury taste is more popular in the southern regions of China.
 But I'm sure that a majority of people will love the savoury taste, especially the PORK ZONGZI (see the photo posted)!
