Literally, we understand that eating mustard can make people's eyes bright because it can absorb the clear essence of mustard.

In fact, eating mustard rice on February 2 is a custom in Zhejiang Province.

The following is an excerpt:

Eating mustard rice on the second day of the second lunar month is a popular custom in Wenzhou (now it is found that other cities in Zhejiang and Fujian also have the habit of eating mustard rice), and there is a saying that eating mustard rice will not cause scabies. "Rui' an County Records" said, "Take mustard to cook, the clouds can improve your eyesight and cover up the essence. "

It is said that this custom has an interesting legend. One day, Emperor Qianlong visited the people incognito and went to a farmer's home in southern Zhejiang. He found that Zhang Man, who had read many poetry books when he was young, could not go to Beijing to catch the exam because of his poor family, so he had to study hard at home. Zhang was hospitable and invited Emperor Qianlong to have a light meal. Just as he was preparing to cook, Zhang found that there was not enough rice in the rice jar and there was nothing to eat. Zhang had a brainwave, and the plan came to mind. Tell his wife to prepare the fire first, go out from the back door and peel a handful of green and tender mustard in the garden, add some seasoning and cook a pot of white mustard rice. Emperor Qianlong was used to eating delicacies. By noon, he was already hungry. When he smelled the delicious mustard rice, his appetite increased greatly, and he ate it with relish and was full of praise. He even asked how to cook this green rice with white inside. Zhang's wife replied, "This is called mustard rice, and it won't cause scabies after eating it." On this day, it happens to be the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, and the custom of eating mustard rice on the second day of February has been handed down since then.

Every time I eat mustard rice, old people often say that my eyes will light up after eating mustard rice. This statement comes from another story. According to legend, in ancient times, there was a beautiful and kind girl in the country. She was smart and hardworking, but her eyes were invisible. One year, on the second day of February, mustard was in full bloom. The little girl accidentally mixed the cut mustard into the rice. After eating, she suddenly felt that her eyes lit up and she actually saw it! Since then, the villagers have had the custom of eating mustard rice on February 2.
