Why do you beat eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival?

1, people think that you can pray for health and longevity by rolling boiled hot eggs back and forth. Egg-rolling activities on the Dragon Boat Festival gradually passed down, and later evolved into a simpler folk egg-bumping method. Breaking eggs during the Dragon Boat Festival also conveys people's awe and belief in life and fertility.

It is a tradition to eat eggs on Dragon Boat Festival. Every year, adults will make an "egg pocket" for their children, put boiled eggs on it and hang them around their necks to play games. The egg pocket looks like a small net pocket.

3. Children will pick the thicker ones, smash the eggs cooked by friends with the stronger ones, and the eggshell will be lost if it breaks first.

The eggshell is painted red, put in colorful net bags and hung around the child's neck, which also means wishing the child good luck and peace.
