Eat glutinous rice balls. Eating rice balls on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is an old tradition. The rice balls are round, symbolizing reunion, harmony and beauty. Eating glutinous rice balls on this day means that the family will be reunited and happy in the new year.

Moreover, tofu is rich in protein, calcium, and other nutrients, which is very beneficial to health. In some places, people will also make tofu into a variety of delicacies, such as tofu brain, dried tofu, tofu skin, etc., which are very popular delicacies.

Don't go out on long trips.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it's best not to travel far. Because the older generation believes that it is easy to encounter unlucky things when going out on this day, such as breaking money, injury, etc. Although this statement is a bit superstitious, we would rather believe it than believe it! So, if it's not particularly necessary, try to stay at home as much as possible. If you really want to go out, you should also pay attention to safety and be cautious! Try to avoid going to crowded places to avoid accidents.
2.Don't break ground.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, it is taboo to break ground. Because the old people believe that breaking ground on this day will destroy the feng shui and fortune of the family. So, if there's anything going on in your home to renovate or build, it's best to avoid this day. If you really can't avoid it, try to do it in the morning or evening! This will reduce the impact on your family's fortunes! In addition, if you have to break ground, you can also ask a professional feng shui master to take a look and choose a suitable time and direction to break ground.
3.Do not quarrel and fight.
Last but not least, it is important to avoid quarrels and fights. On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone must be harmonious! Because the old people think that if there is a quarrel and a fight on this day, it will bring very bad luck and bad luck. So, everyone should try to restrain their emotions and temper on this day! Deal with everything calmly and don't act impulsively! In this way, you can ensure that you have a smooth and safe new year! Also, if you have children at home, be careful not to let them cry or fight! Because this will affect the aura and fortune of the family.

Here, I would like to remind you once again: although modern society has become more and more open and tolerant, we should still respect traditional culture and folk beliefs.

Oops, it seems that everyone is very interested in the "2 eats and 3 taboos" on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month! In fact, in addition to these traditional customs, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is also a very suitable day for health preservation!

In addition, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month is also a very special day, it is called the "birthday of the lamphead". On this day, people should light a lamp under the kitchen stove, which is called "lighting the stove lamp". This custom began in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the literature records that in the third year of Chunyou of the Southern Song Dynasty (1243 AD), there was a folk custom of "please pre-release the Lantern Festival, since the thirteenth day, the lanes and bridges are all made of bamboo lanterns". This is because the day of the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is approaching, and the lanterns that are made by each family on a pilot basis are said to be the day of the "lamp head". In the old days, the lights began to be on the thirteenth day of the first month, and the lights fell on the eighteenth day of the first month, and there were "ten."
3. Fourteen gods look at the lamp, ten.
Five, sixteen people look at the lights, ten.
Seven, eighteen ghosts look at the lamp". This traditional custom not only enriches our cultural life, but also brings joy and peace to people.
Speaking of the Lantern Festival, I remember watching the Lantern Festival in my hometown when I was a child. At that time, the lantern festival was really lively, and all kinds of lanterns were hung high, and the colorful light lit up the entire night sky. Dressed in new clothes, people walk the streets and alleys with the old and the young, admiring the various lanterns with unique shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. Some lanterns will also turn and make a wonderful ** sound! At that time, we were really happy, eating delicious snacks and admiring the beautiful lanterns, as if we were in a fairytale world.
Oops, I digress while talking haha! Let's get down to business and continue to talk about the special day of the 13th day of the first lunar month. In addition to eating glutinous rice balls and tofu, there are actually some places where there is a custom of eating boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage! Shepherd's cabbage is a nutritious wild vegetable rich in protein, vitamin C and other nutrients. Moreover, shepherd's cabbage also has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, diuresis and swelling! Therefore, it is also very beneficial to eat boiled eggs with shepherd's cabbage on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month! However, due to the serious environmental pollution now, everyone must pay attention to safety and hygiene when picking shepherd's cabbage! It's best to go to some unpolluted places to pick or buy some processed shepherd's cabbage to eat!
Alright, alright! That's all for today! I hope that everyone can be smooth and safe on the special day of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month! Don't forget to follow the traditions! Also pay attention to health and health!
