On the first day of the Chinese New Year, according to the customs of the Hakka people, three meals a day are vegetarian as usual. I also followed the local customs and ate vegetarian food with me, and the staple food was rice.

In Xinjiang, on the morning of the first day of the New Year, it is to eat dumplings wrapped in Chinese New Year's Eve evening, and the dishes for lunch and dinner are all meat and vegetarian combinations, both hot and cold, and the staple food is rice, noodles, and steamed buns.

Fortunately, I am not picky about eating, and I can eat enough. However, hungry is also fast, I put two handfuls of peanuts in my pocket and can replenish them at any time. 😄

Baidu took a look and learned the origin of this custom:

First, because of the inheritance of Buddhism, the first day of the first day of vegetarianism to show their faith in the Buddha, representing the whole year of vegetarianism, and also reflects the ancestors' compassion for all things.

Second, because fasting is homophonous with disaster, eating fasting is equivalent to dispelling disasters and avoiding evil, and Chinese believe in winning the color during the Spring Festival, so eat fasting.

Third, because vegetarianism refers to the first day of "su (vegetarian) quiet", this whole year is also quiet, reflecting people's psychological appeal for peace and quiet.
