Traditionally, laying eggs originated in the Han Dynasty. At that time, people thought that in Tomb-Sweeping Day, the boundary between Yin and Yang was the most blurred, and ghosts and gods would come out to make trouble, so sacrifices were needed during this period. Later, people added the custom of inserting eggs in the sacrificial ceremony, hoping for a happy family and a smooth life.
