Though the box is called the zongzi gift box, zongzi being a glutinous rice ball wrapped and steamed in a bamboo leaf, other treats are also included inside, such as cakes and tea. However, the Palace Museum did not give the company the right to display its "seal of approval" on the gift box itself, the state-run China Economic Weekly quoted one museum employee surnamed Li as saying. Meanwhile, a salesman from the company said the authorization of the seal had expired this year based on the agreement signed by the museum and the company in 2002. Local media also reported that the company's zongzi products sold for as much as 1780 yuan (US$280) last year. | Views: 0 0 ratings | | Time: 02:16 | More in News & Politics |
