On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, push and grind to make tofu
It's what people are for
Is it catchy and smooth?
No! No! No!
This is not a fabrication
They all have a history
Let's take a look at it today
Eighties and nineties
The sound of selling tofu was shouted everywhere
It still rings in my ears from time to time
Everyone has a different kind of affection for tofu
And the family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner table
New Year's tofu is indispensable
so
Twenty-five, grind tofu
Where did it come from?
"Grinding tofu" comes from an allusion to the struggle between the common people and traitors in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the common people hated corrupt officials and wanted to fight corruption. So on this day, I want to make tofu, and eating tofu during the Spring Festival is to fight corruption.
In ancient times, people got busy on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, soaked soybeans, ground them with a stone mill, kneaded them through a basket to remove the slag, boiled the pulp into pieces, and cut the tofu into small pieces and put them in salted water for food during the Spring Festival.
Folklorists said that "making tofu" also has a symbolic meaning, and the homonym of tofu is "doufu" and "blessing", which gives people the wish to be rich and prosperous in the new year. With the good wish of wishing a happy and auspicious life in the New Year, people will prepare tofu at home during the Spring Festival, drawing a good luck and taking a good omen.
Now
People don't make their own tofu
They will have more options
The common one is the word "Fu" that has been cut out
Stick it upside down on a window or door
such
The same sentiment was expressed
I hope that "blessing" will come to the door
Eat tofu in a reunion
That's how it is
Simple but warm and beautiful
