In the [[Yuan dynasty|Yuan]] and [[Ming dynasty|Ming]] dynasties, the wrapping material had changed from ''gu'' (wild rice) leaf to ''ruo'' ({{zh|t=箬|labels=no}}; the ''[[Indocalamus tessellatus]]'' bamboo) leaf, and then to reed leaves,<ref name="Wei"/>{{dubious|date=August 2020}}<!--contradicts fact that reed leaves were recorded earlier in the Shuowen dictionary augmentation of the Sung Dynasty-->and filled with materials like [[Sweet bean paste|bean paste]], [[Pine nut|pine nut kernel]], [[pork]], [[walnut]],<ref name="Wei"/> [[jujube]],and so on. The varieties of ''zongzi'' were more diverse.
 
During the Ming and [[Qing dynasties]], ''zongzi'' became auspicious food. At that time, scholars who took the [[imperial examination]]s would eat "pen ''zongzi''", which was specially given to them at home, before going to the examination hall. Because it looked long and thin like a [[writing brush]], the pronunciation of "pen ''zongzi''" is similar to the Chinese word for "pass", which was for good omen.{{failed verification|reason=Source mentions 枣粽 (jujube zongzi) being phonetically similar to 早中 (early passing-of-exam), without any mention of a penbrush [presumably 笔粽]|date=January 2022}} [[Ham]] ''zongzi'' appeared in the Qing dynasty.<ref name="news.youth.cn">{{Cite web|url=http://news.youth.cn/sh/201606/t20160606_8090573.htm |title=端午节吃粽子的来历由来__中国青年网|website=news.youth.cn}}</ref>{{Better source|date=July 2020}}
 
Until now, every year in early May of the lunar calendar, the Chinese people will soak glutinous rice, wash the leaves and wrap up ''zongzi''.<ref name="Wei"/>
