What is the saying that Minnan babies shave coins for six pairs of full moons?

When "doing a full moon" in southern Fujian, the baby should shave the fetal hair on his head. Usually shave a few days in advance. Boys choose even days after birth, while girls choose a few days. Some people choose the 24th day of the baby's birth, which reflects the old story of "twenty-four filial piety". When the full moon is shaved, first boil eggs, duck eggs, Vitex negundo (to remove wind) and water into "shaving water"; Mix egg yolk and onion juice. After the haircut, I picked up eggs and duck eggs from the water, rolled them on the baby's face and body, and chanted "egg noodles, duck eggs" in Japan and China, saying that the baby was healthy. Then apply egg yolk and onion juice on the top of your head, which is commonly called helping to reverse the dirt. Adding onions means that the baby will be smart in the future, and "onion" and "cong" are homophonic. The shaved hair is weighed with stones, wrapped in red paper and placed on the top of the hammer, which means that there will be hair regeneration on the baby's head. Only women with a full moon can go out and walk around, worship their ancestors with their babies in their arms, show their beauty and elegance, and the family is full of joy.

On the day of the full moon, a banquet will be held to entertain relatives and friends, which was called "soup cake party" in ancient times. Soup cakes are pasta cooked with soup, and noodles symbolizing longevity must be on the dining table. Relatives and friends congratulate them mostly on "head and tail" clothes and decorations, while those with deep feelings are gold ornaments, such as gold pendants and rings with the words "longevity", "blessing" and "Buddha". Halfway through the banquet, the husband reached out of the Woods, and the guests got up, hugged the baby in turn and said auspicious words, such as congratulating the child on his health, longevity, wealth and intelligence. Nowadays, the customs of full moon visitors are interdependent, and most of the gifts are red envelopes.

Rich family, baby full moon, what a luxurious and extravagant thing it is. The family house is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to entertain friends and guests, and the troupe is invited to set up a theater shed to perform a play, which is very lively and entertaining. Poor families do not have such ostentation and extravagance, but they are also full of festive atmosphere, and express their gratitude according to their own abilities.

Friends and relatives who need help when they are in the confinement.

"April 4th" refers to the four-month anniversary of the baby's birth. Generally, it is not as grand as a full moon, but more between two in-laws April 1st is a 100-day celebration of ancient customs, which still worships ancestors, gods, buddhas and mothers. My family sent me "head and tail" again, this time more than "full moon" There are usually a pair of anklet bracelets, which are worn on the chubby ankles and wrists of babies. Hands and feet move, and the little bells on the ring jingle, which is very pleasant to the ear. The most obvious thing is to send a very beautiful, soft and practical padded cloak. Because babies on April 14 have to go out shopping for the first time, when they see the world for the first time, they have to wrap their heads in cloaks to keep out the cold and only show their little faces. This cloak was made by my family and given to me. This cloak is still very popular now, and the fabrics are more and more exquisite, mostly silk; There are red flowers, residual flowers and group flowers, which are found in almost every family. The cloak can be used as a small quilt at home to keep out the wind, which is really practical. "To celebrate April Day", my family will also send a pink peach. The pronunciation of "peach" is consistent with that of "play" in Xiamen dialect. As the saying goes, "It's good to eat peach Tito".
