Why do you want to boil eggs on March 3?
According to legend, in Chu, people have headaches because of wind and rain. On the third day of March, Shennong passed Yunmengze (now Xiaogan) and saw that the villagers had a terrible headache. He found wild eggs and vegetables and cooked them to satisfy people's hunger. People eat their heads and the pain stops. The custom of "eating vegetables and boiling eggs on March 3, a year without headaches" continues to this day.
Scientific research has proved that cauliflower has a good effect on treating headache and can prevent meningitis. People discovered this effect a long time ago. Every year in March of the lunar calendar, cauliflower is in full bloom. Every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, everyone collects cauliflower and boils eggs. Over time, it has become a custom. In order to facilitate memory, pass on this good tradition.
