Wu zhi's custom of eating happy noodles

Since ancient times, people in Wuzhi have attached great importance to fertility, and have formed various customs and habits around adding Ding to import and praying for the safety of mother and child.

After the baby is born, you should enclose the gate with white ash and tell the neighbors that the baby is born. First, outsiders should not casually enter this house to borrow things; Second, you have connections, so you can cut tofu and buy eggs.

It is a happy event to introduce people. On the third day after joining, you should report good news to your relatives and friends. To report good news, you should go to your father-in-law's house first and formally inform him that the child was born. On the third day after the baby is born, it is necessary to put on new clothes for the child and take out the baby's birth name on this day. There is a saying that "he is a nameless fool for three days". If children pray in the temple, they should also take the fried burnt flowers to "report to the church", burn incense and set off firecrackers to "repay their gratitude" and entertain the participants who "beg for mercy" to show their gratitude. This custom has been recorded in ancient times and is called "soup cake party" or "soup cake banquet".

Have a plenty of good news when holding a sheep, if it is a ram, wearing a red cloth, it is a boy; If it is a ewe with red cloth, it means it is a girl. Some people hold chickens when they report good news, one for girls and two for boys. Or a rooster represents a boy and a hen represents a girl. Because men are superior to women, boys are called "big joy" and girls are called "little Xi" If you hear "great joy", all your neighbors call it "good". If it's "little Xi", just say "all right".

Mother-in-law should warmly welcome those who come to report good news. In the past, she used to bake oil buns, stir up bumps (to make children have a bright heart) and call people to eat. Seeing the bearer of good news, the mother-in-law should sprinkle grains around the water tank and let them take root, which means that children can thrive.

In some places in the west of Wuzhi County, the father of the child went to report the good news. When he goes, he will bring red-skinned eggs and a hip flask full of yellow wine with cypress branches in his mouth, which means immortality. When I return, my mother-in-law will give back rice or millet, eggs and brown sugar, and also send a bunch (meaning to entangle the child).

After receiving the good news, on the fifth day of the child's birth, the child's nephew will come to see it (Wuzhi County West is the child's nephew for three days), called "Five Letters (Wufeng)". On the ninth day, the child's mother-in-law (grandmother, grandmother) will come to see. Relatives and friends will come to visit on an auspicious day, and they should be given "money to look after the children" when they look after them, otherwise the children will grow ugly in the future.

During this period, some neighbors played with their children's grandparents, uncles and aunts, trying to give them a bad face, mainly for fun. Everyone in Doby laughed.

In the west of Wuzhi County, on the 9th and 29th of the baby's birthday/kloc-0, we will also fry flowers for the gods and send happy noodles to our neighbors. Every family has a bowl called "Eat Happy Noodles". Nowadays, many people send two or four packs of instant noodles, and whoever gives them happy noodles will give back money or eggs.

All the eldest children have to do "Nine", some do "Two Nine" and some do "Full Moon Nine". Doing "Nine" is called "Eat Happy Noodles" in the east of Wuzhi County. The Ninth Five-Year Plan is very grand, so we should inform our relatives and friends in advance and appoint a good day, and then they will all come to congratulate us. Hold a banquet with wine and meat, which is called a feast with wine and meat, and entertain close relatives and friends. The last kind of food is noodles, which is an essential product of mat noodles and is called "eating hi noodles".

When relatives and friends come to congratulate, they should bring white flour (or rice), brown sugar, eggs, cloth or children's clothes, and show their money when they see children. The ceremony at the children's uncle's house is the heaviest. They beat rice and flour or pack corn and wheat, as well as gold and silver jewelry, silver bracelets, silver collars, silver life locks, as well as baby carriages, dolls, children's clothes, shoes, plates and quilts, which are packed in food boxes without covering their mouths, so that people can see them on purpose. Therefore, there is a saying that "children don't lose money at the age of nine."

Friends and relatives can't leave empty baskets. They should give something back, such as candy and noodles. Now instant noodles are the main products. In the west of Wuzhi County, they will also serve oily buns to their uncles and aunts.
