What are the rituals and customs of enjoying the moon?

After the baby is born, it is called "the moon" when it is one month old. So do netizens know what rituals and customs the moon has? For unsuspecting netizens, let's take a look.

1, ancestor worship. At the full moon, rich sacrifices such as fried rice and chicken wine are prepared to worship ancestors, and the birth time and names of ancestors' children are told to show protection. In addition to ancestor worship, some families also hold banquets to celebrate.

2. Gifts from foreign families. On the day of the full moon, the baby's grandmother's family will give a gift to her grandson, which is called "sending the head and tail". The so-called "head and tail" means that the gift should cover the baby's "from beginning to end" supplies, usually including hats, clothes, pants (clothes of other families, with a swastika on the back of the collar), shoes and socks, accessories and so on. In addition, more exquisite families will send bananas, red turtles, red candles and other gifts. Baby's parents will give back oil rice, rice cakes, shortcakes and jiaozi. Due to social changes, some newer families no longer use traditional food, but replace traditional cakes with popular western cakes.

3. Report good news. Parents usually prepare gifts such as traditional fried rice and red eggs. Fried rice made of rice means reproduction. Red eggs not only symbolize perfection because of their egg shape, but also take the auspicious meaning of "eggs can hatch chickens and chickens can lay eggs". Therefore, the food made of eggs is the most important symbol in the February Festival ceremony. Therefore, "cake" gifts other than fried rice and red eggs have become the most popular good news gifts for modern people.

The above are all about the rituals and customs of enjoying the moon.
