As society continues to evolve, so does our lives. However, in the pursuit of modernization, we must not forget our traditions and culture. Especially on important festivals, we should respect and maintain these traditions. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of blessing by the heavenly officials, is a day full of auspiciousness and blessings. On this day, there is an important tradition that we need to observe, and that is "if you don't eat in the fifteenth and 4th years, you won't enter the door with good fortune." Let's take a look at the meaning of this tradition and the reasons behind it.
First of all, we need to understand what "fifteen 4 do not eat". This actually refers to the day of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and there are four types of food that cannot be eaten. They are: raw, cold, hard, and cold. According to tradition, these four types of food will collide with good fortune and cause good fortune not to enter the door. So, why is there such a statement? This is actually related to traditional Chinese health and food culture. Raw, cold, hard, and cold foods can easily cause damage to the spleen and stomach and affect physical health. And a healthy body is the basis for enjoying blessings. Therefore, in order to pray for health and good fortune, people gradually formed such a tradition.
Now let's take a look at why these four types of food are not suitable for consumption on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. First of all, raw food, they may contain bacteria and parasites, which can cause certain irritation to the stomach and intestines, and can easily cause diarrhea, vomiting and other uncomfortable symptoms. Cold food is eaten in a cold season such as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which can easily cause spleen and stomach deficiency and cold, and affect digestive function. Hard foods can be taxing on the teeth and digestive tract, especially for the elderly and small children, and can cause damage. Cold food can easily cause the accumulation of cold qi in the body, affecting the normal metabolism of the body.
So, how to keep this tradition? It's actually quite simple. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we can choose some mild, easily digestible foods to eat. For example, you can make some hot soup or porridge to warm your stomach, or choose some steaming, boiling, and stewing cooking methods to keep the food nutritious and warm. At the same time, avoid eating raw, cold, hard, and cold foods to ensure good health and good fortune.
In addition to food, the tradition of "15 4 don't eat, blessing doesn't enter the door" also reminds us to respect and maintain other traditions. For example, on this day, we can participate in some traditional celebrations such as viewing lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, etc. These activities not only add to the atmosphere of the festival, but also allow us to better understand and pass on traditional culture. In addition, we can also promote family virtues and traditional values of respecting the elderly and caring for the young by greeting the elders and greeting the family.
In modern society, with the accelerated pace of life and the increase in work pressure, many people may ignore these traditional customs and values. However, it is these traditions and cultures that constitute the spiritual and cultural heritage of our nation. Therefore, each of us should do our best to preserve and pass on these precious traditions and cultures.
To sum up, although the tradition of "15 and 4 don't eat, blessing doesn't enter the door" seems simple, it contains profound culture and health wisdom. By adhering to this tradition, we can better maintain good health and good fortune. At the same time, it can also promote the national spirit and promote social harmony and development by respecting and inheriting traditional culture. I hope that everyone can feel this wonderful blessing and meaning on the special day of the 15th day of the first lunar month. List of high-quality authors
