In fact, the bright soup is the "green vegetable mochi soup", which is cut into thin strips, then cooked with the vegetables, and seasoned with salt and lard.
What is the real meaning of drinking eye soup? The first is to warn people that the Spring Festival has ended, and they must wake up from happiness, cheer up and appreciate the good spring. There is also a saying that you can drink a bowl of bright soup, and then enjoy the Lantern Festival with bright eyes, and welcome the new year with a good mood.
