I still remember when I was a child, every time it was the seventh day of the first lunar month
Mothers will specially order a bowl of noodles for their children
Do you know why?
In the Spring Festival customs of the mainland
The seventh day of the first lunar month, also known as "People's Day"
In addition to eating noodles
There is also a saying that eating seven treasure soups, wearing people to win, and sending fire gods
Next, let's take a look at the "rising posture" together
The seventh day of the first lunar month is also called "People's Day" or "Human Victory Festival", according to legend, when Nuwa created people, the first six days were made of chickens, dogs, pigs, sheep, cattle and horses, and the seventh day of the creation of people, so the ancients believed that the seventh day of the first month of the first month was a person's birthday. On this day, the Han people eat shippo soup and noodles, wear people to win, and send fire gods. The "Day of Man" reflects the desire of the working people of ancient China to pray for najib and peace and security, as well as respect for the "people" themselves.
Eat noodles
Most places also have the custom of eating noodles on this day, which means to wrap noodles around the legs of the years and take the meaning of longevity. In addition, the seventeenth and twenty-seventh day of the first month are also regarded as "human days". On the seventh, seventeenth and twenty-seventh days of the first lunar month, these three days are the "days" of children, adults and the elderly, and whoever wants to live a "day" will eat noodles.
Wearing people wins, giving flowers wins
Dai Rensheng: Rensheng is a kind of headdress, also known as "Caisheng" and "Huasheng", from the Jin Dynasty onwards, there were women who made the shape of villains with colored paper, silk veils, gold leaf and silver foil, etc., which were used to paste screens and also worn on hair. Therefore, "Human Day" is also called "Human Victory Festival".
Flower Giving: On the seventh day of the first lunar month, people make various flower victories (humanoid wins, styled flowers) to give each other gifts.
Spread the pancakes
On this day, folk not only eat spring cakes (a kind of double-layered lotus leaf cake) rolled "box dish" (cooked meat such as sauce elbows), but also spread pancakes in the courtyard, called "smoked heaven".
Send Vulcan
In some parts of Shandong, there is a custom of sending fire gods. Torches tied with crop straw are lit in front of their homes and sent all the way to the outside of the village, which means to drive out the fire and pray for safety in the new year.
Top gossip
On this day, there is also a popular activity in the north: let the child gossip on the top of his head, test how long he can hold on, in order to train his patience and look forward to auspiciousness. It is also a mascot that prays for the prosperity of the people.
Nowadays, the form of the annual custom has gradually changed
But a good life is still our constant prayer
On this special day
Let's make a wish together
May everyone be safe and healthy
