"The silkworm spits new silk, and the beginning of summer has suddenly arrived. "The beginning of summer is the first solar term of summer, which signifies the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The Compass Base of the District Youth Center has launched a new activity in Lixia, and you are invited to participate in the weekend parent-child theme activity of "Colorful Silk Thread Egg Pocket", one of the series of sericulture experience activities, and enjoy the customs of Lixia together!
Lixia has the custom of eating eggs, hanging eggs, and fighting eggs among the people. The custom of hanging eggs in Lixia originates from a myth and legend: legend has it that every year in Lixia, the plague god will come to the world to spread the disease of "Boiled Summer". Therefore, the common people prayed to Nuwa Niangniang for the blessing of disasters and blessings for future generations. Nuwa Niangniang told the people in a dream that on the day of the beginning of summer, children should hang boiled chicken, duck and goose eggs on their chests to avoid summer. Since then, there has been a custom in the south of the Yangtze River that "the chest hangs eggs in the summer, and the villain is difficult in the summer". The elders will hang an egg in a pocket woven with colored thread around the child's neck, which carries the love and blessing of the elders for the younger generations.
