*''Jiaxing zongzi'' (嘉兴粽子): This is a kind of ''zongzi'' famous in mainland China and named after the city [[Jiaxing]]. Typically savory with the rice mixed with soy sauce and having pork
* ''Jia zong'' (假粽): Instead of glutinous rice, balls of glutinous rice flour (so no individual grains of rice are discernible) are used to enclose the fillings of the ''zongzi''. These "fake ''zong''" are typically smaller than most and are much stickier.
* [[File:China Northwestern Style Zongzi.jpg|thumb|Northwestern style ''zongzi'']]''Jianshui zong'' (碱水粽): These "alkaline water ''zong''" are typically eaten as a dessert item rather than as part of the main meal. The glutinous rice is treated with ''jianzongshui'' (碱粽水, alkali[ne] ''zongzi'' water, aqueous [[sodium carbonate]] or [[potassium carbonate]]), giving them their distinctive yellow color. ''Jianshui zong'' typically contain either no filling or are filled with a sweet mixture, such as [[sweet bean paste]]. Sometimes, a certain redwood sliver ([[Biancaea sappan|蘇木]]) is inserted for color and flavor. They are often eaten with sugar or light syrup.
