Beginning of spring's custom beginning of spring lays eggs (why beginning of spring lays eggs)

1, the reason why "beginning of spring" lays eggs: In China folklore, not only "beginning of spring" can lay eggs, but also "vernal equinox" and "autumnal equinox", or it is easy to lay eggs. In rural areas, the older generation thinks that if a person can lay an egg in early spring, he will be lucky this year. In fact, how can a person's fate be linked to an egg? At first it was purely a folk entertainment custom. In fact, the 24 solar terms are a part of China traditional culture, and they all have different functions and auspicious meanings, such as "beginning of spring". Pronuncially speaking, "chicken" and "auspicious" are homonyms, meaning good luck. And "Li" and "Li" are homophonic and also mean "Geely". Therefore, people all think that if an egg can stand on the day of beginning of spring, it means good luck and people's expectation for the new year.

2. Egg laying method: In fact, not only experts, but also the elderly in rural areas know this method. Shake the egg a few times first, in order to separate the egg white from the yolk, which means that the yolk can move in the egg. Then on a level table, make sure the egg skin is smooth. Then put your hand on the table and keep it upright for about five seconds. Because the yolk in the egg will sink by gravity at this time, it is easy to stand up.
