What do you eat on the eighth day of the first month?
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, it is both a "Shunxing Festival" and an "Ancient Day Festival". Nu Wa Niangniang created five grains after creating six animals and human beings, so it is the birthday of five grains. On the eighth day of the first month, every household will cook five grains of rice, which is not only a observance of the solar terms on the eighth day, but also a warning to people to cherish food and not waste it.
On the eighth day of the first month, you will also eat oranges, which means good luck. Because the eighth day is Xiaomi's birthday, people expect a bumper harvest this year, abundant food and a better life in the coming year, so they eat oranges symbolizing good luck on this day and pray for a bumper harvest in the coming year.
