1, Nantong folklore, there was a fierce plague god in the sky earlier. He usually slept very late and didn't wake up until the annual Long Summer Festival. He secretly went to the underworld to sow the plague with a plague bag. Anyone infected by it is "summer".

2. So, the children's mother cried and went to Nu Wa Niangniang Temple to burn incense and kowtow, begging her to eliminate disasters and bless future generations. When Nu Wa learned about this, she went to talk to the god of plague. The queen said, "In the future, you can never hurt my own children." Knowing that Nu Wa's magic is boundless, the god of plague dared not object and said, "I wonder how many children are there in the lower bound?" The queen smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, on that long summer day, I ordered my first child to hang an egg bag in front of my skirt. Who do you think marked it? You must not mess around. "

3. On that long summer day this year, the plague god woke up, shouldered the epidemic bag and ran to the lower bound. However, from morning till night, the children he met had net bags hanging on their chests, and he was afraid to start work. Finally, the god of plague was exhausted and angrily exhausted on the road.

After the death of the plague, the children ate the eggs hanging on their chests. In order to commemorate this victory, thanks to the great kindness of Nu Wa, every household cooks eggs for their children every year in the long summer, and the custom of eating eggs in the long summer has been passed down from generation to generation.
