Why eat eggs? Why eat eggs?

1. In ancient times, due to backward traffic and blocked information, various customs circulated among the people in China. Different festivals and solar terms have their own local customs, and both diet and activities are eye-opening. Eating eggs during the solar term is a very interesting phenomenon.

2. The traditional calendar of China divides a year into four seasons and twenty-four solar terms. The four seasons are spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the solar terms are beginning of spring, Qingming, beginning of autumn and winter solstice. Sting is one of the spring solar terms and one of the 24 solar terms, usually on March 5, 6 or 7 in the solar calendar. Literally, "sting" refers to hibernation, and "startled sting" refers to the emergence of creatures that have been dormant in the soil.

3. Creatures began to feed as soon as they were unearthed. According to Guangdong legend, the white tiger, one of the evil spirits, also came out for food at this time. In ancient agricultural society, tigers were common. For the sake of safety, people sacrifice to the white tiger on the day of fright, which is the origin of sacrificing to the white tiger.

Maybe it has something to do with the legend of Guangdong. It is said that in the early years, most believers in Singapore were Cantonese, but now this has become a tradition followed by people of different backgrounds, and even some Indian compatriots have followed suit. Due to the widespread worship of fright, many temples have now set up lower altars to worship white tigers for the convenience of believers.

This kind of white tiger (statue) for sacrifice usually opens its mouth with fangs. Believers believe that it can't open its mouth to hurt people by wiping its mouth with lard during sacrifice; Feed the eggs, and the white tiger won't hurt anyone. Traditionally, eggs must be duck eggs. Duck eggs are hard to find now, so we have to ask the tiger to make do and eat eggs instead.
