During the Chinese New Year, there is a custom that "the first day in jiaozi is the second day". What is the origin of this custom?

Because on the first day of the Lunar New Year, jiaozi is eaten to commemorate the imperial doctor Zhang Zhongjing, and noodles are eaten to prevent people from wasting food. No matter what kind of custom, it is to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

During the Spring Festival, there are actually many traditional customs in China, involving food, clothing, housing and transportation. In the past, the older generation attached great importance to them and even had to abide by them.

At the beginning of the new year, every household will eat a plate of jiaozi, which I think we all know, because jiaozi means to make money and treasure, which is just like our gold ingot in China. Eating jiaozi during the Spring Festival is equivalent to "making a fortune". This is a sacred memorial to Dr. Zhang Zhongjing, a celebration to celebrate the New Year after his recovery, and also a truth to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new.

We will eat noodles on the second day of the Lunar New Year, because we always have some leftover noodles from the first packet of jiaozi, so we need to roll them into noodles. When eating noodles, be sure to cook them in a pot and then rinse them with cold water. Our ancestors lived in poverty in China, and even in ancient times, there were times of prosperity. We have always lived in a great country. They are not as good as our life, so we will keep our traditional virtues. In order not to waste spaghetti, we all choose to eat noodles on New Year's Day.

On the third day, everyone will eat vegetables and zygotes, which can be said to be "family reunion", which means family reunion and harmonious coexistence. At the same time, vegetable zygote is actually like a big jiaozi, and it is also a huge "treasure", which means making a fortune. Scrambled eggs and pancakes are eaten from the fourth day, because that day is the auspicious day for the chef to return to the palace. Afraid that the fairy will not save money by looking after the house, she has to pretend that she can't eat big fish and meat. Besides, the chef had to check the population at home that day, so we couldn't go out on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.
