Which solar festival has eggs?

1, there is the custom of laying eggs at the vernal equinox and autumnal equinox, one of the 24 solar terms, and during the Dragon Boat Festival. Standing eggs means: choose a smooth and symmetrical fresh egg that has just been laid for four or five days, and gently put it on the table to stand up.

2. The meaning of the score is: "In mid-February, half of the score is 90 and a half days, so it is called a score". This means that day and night are divided equally, each with 12 hours. In ancient times, it was spring from beginning of spring to long summer. Since the vernal equinox, the direct position of the sun has gradually moved northward, and the length of day and night in the northern hemisphere has also changed. In the northern hemisphere, the days are long and the nights are short, while in the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. So some people say, "The vernal equinox is half yin and half yang. Therefore, it is cold and hot day and night. " In the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere, the vernal equinox is the same day. The inclination of the earth's axis is 66.5 degrees, which is in a relatively balanced state with the earth's orbital plane around the sun, which is beneficial to vertical eggs. In addition, according to historical records, the autumnal equinox also has the tradition of laying eggs, which originated in China 4000 years ago to celebrate the arrival of autumn.

According to astronomical experts, the time of day and night on the day of the autumnal equinox is very balanced, and the stability of eggs standing is the best. Of course, there are also views that laying eggs has nothing to do with the autumnal equinox, and eggs can be laid on any day of the year. Also, some folk places in our country will hold interesting "vertical egg" games or competitions on the day of the autumn equinox.

4, Dragon Boat Festival, in fact, there is also a holiday custom of laying eggs. At noon on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, masculinity and righteousness gather extremely, so people think that eggs that are not easy to stand upright on weekdays can stand upright on the ground at this time, because on the day of Dragon Boat Festival, the sun shines in the northern hemisphere, and the gravity of the sun and the gravity of the earth pull each other at noon, which is easy to keep the eggs standing on the ground balanced.
