1 What's the date of the 27th? What's the point?

On the 27th day of the first month, people climb mountains to pray for victory, eat longevity noodles, drink Qibao soup and eat pancakes.

1, climb to pray.

In ancient times, no matter the nobles in the palace or the common people, "People's Day" would go hiking in the suburbs. The climbing of "People's Day" is different from the climbing of passive disaster avoidance on the Double Ninth Festival. The first month is the beginning of a year. At this time, people climb the mountain to pray, hoping that everything will go well in the new year and their families will be healthy. In addition, it's early spring, a cool breeze in Xu Lai, and a good time for everything to revive. On this day, you might as well go out climbing and hiking with your family, stretch your muscles while praying and feel the breath of spring.

In some areas, there is also the custom of wearing People's Victory Day. People's victory is also called "flower victory". It is an ornament cut into human or flower shapes with colored paper and gold foil in ancient times. Wearing it on your head or sticking it on the screen on People's Victory Day not only has a decorative effect, but also can win a good prize for yourself or your family.

Step 3 eat longevity noodles

On the 27th day of the first month, as usual, you should eat a bowl of noodles with celery, onion and garlic, which represents cleverness. In Chinese traditional culture, noodles are thin and long, which has a long and lasting meaning. Therefore, middle-aged people eat "longevity noodles" on the day of "Old People's Day", which means that people hope that noodles can tie the legs of the years and stay young forever. Old people eat "longevity noodles", which symbolizes that noodles trip over the legs of life and means health and longevity.

Step 4 drink qibao soup

Qibao soup is a soup made of seven kinds of vegetables with auspicious meanings. For example, spinach means "knowledgeable" and rape means "rich". There is no fixed match, but it is auspicious. When drinking Qibao soup, you'd better eat both the soup and the vegetables, that is, eat all the blessings in your stomach.

Step 5 eat pancakes

Pancake is not what people usually call pancake fruit, but a kind of pancake similar to spring pancake, because when eating pancakes, people are used to rolling various ingredients, and the vegetables involved represent "all kinds of vegetables in the world", which is homophonic with "wealth". Pancake rolls have the meaning of making money and making money into treasure, so people have the custom of eating pancakes on the 27 th victory day of the first month.
