Folk origin of red eggs;

Our ancestors traced the formation of heaven and earth and the origin of human beings in imagination, and the influence of the myth of "egg-laying" can be summarized by synthesizing ancient books. In the Three-Five Calendar written by Xú Zhēng in the Three Kingdoms, the story of the creation of the ancestor Pangu was first described: "Heaven and earth are chaotic like a chicken, Pangu was born in its order, and it was 18,000 years old, and the sky was sunny, and the ground was cloudy ..." There was also the origin of the merchant in Historical Records: Zhu Di, the daughter of the Wajia family, "When the bird dropped its egg, Zhu Di took it." The origin of Qin people is also described: when Zhuan Xu's granddaughter weaves silks, "the mysterious bird lays its eggs, and the female show swallows them, giving birth to a great cause", which is the ancestor of Qin people. It is this hazy primitive worship of "egg" that has formed a traditional culture that links eggs with birth and family inheritance among the people. Red is regarded as a festive and auspicious color among the people, so it is mostly red preserved eggs.
