Among them, Shanghai has the custom of babies crossing the bridge at full moon. So what are the taboos for Shanghai baby to cross the bridge at full moon? What's so particular about the baby crossing the bridge at full moon?

There is a saying in Shanghai that when the baby is full moon, he should cross three bridges with an umbrella (the number of bridges in different places is different, and Ningbo has passed seven), so that the baby will have the courage to cross all directions in the future. Pay attention to the black umbrella when you leave, you can't go back, you can't go back the same way, you have to go home by another way.

There are also some sayings that Heng bought the first pair of shoes for his baby and the first schoolbag for his uncle. When she left, she scattered some coins on the bridge and was held by her grandmother or uncle. However, in order to save trouble, many people are not so particular about it in practice. Some may just cross one bridge without an umbrella, and some even just cross three bridges with their babies by car.
