Eating dumplings on the first day of the new year, the old man said that he didn't eat three days of the new year, and he was not poor for a year, what is three don't eat?
One of the Chinese custom during the Chinese New Year is to eat dumplings on New Year's Day. This custom can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Because it looks like a small ingot, people regard it as an auspicious food, so it has become a must-eat dish for people during the New Year. In this festival, in addition to making zongzi by yourself, the whole family should reunite and enjoy the food together, which means that the family is happy and happy.
First of all, "Don't eat on the first day of the new year" does not include "unlucky" fillings. For example, bitter gourd filling, bitter vegetable filling, sauerkraut filling, etc., this kind of filling often gives people an unlucky feeling. Bitter herbs and bitter herbs, one is "bitter" and the other is "poor and sour", which are not auspicious things.
Secondly, don't eat those vegetables with "bad meaning" during the Spring Festival. For example, there are holes in the lotus root bag, which can easily make people feel "leaking money"; Due to the homophone of "no wealth", some people think that it has a bad meaning; As for tofu, it is often used to make "white things", which is very contradictory to the festive atmosphere of the New Year, so it is not suitable to eat it on New Year's Day.
Ultimately, fillings made with "Chinese herbs" should also be avoided as much as possible. Dandelion filling, fennel filling, chrysanthemum filling, poria filling, codonopsis stuffing, etc. are very medical, although it is good for the body to eat usually, but in festivals like the Spring Festival, eating this "Chinese herbal medicine", it is easy to remind people of illness, affecting everyone's mood, and the lively atmosphere of the festival is incompatible.
However, even if there is a sentence "don't eat on the first day of junior high school", it doesn't mean that we don't have anything else to eat. Instead, there are plenty of delicious, auspicious fillings. Take the dumplings stuffed with green onions and mackerel as an example, the green onions represent longevity, and the filling of mackerel is year after year. Vegetarian dumplings, cabbage and Chinese "Baicai" are synonymous, meaning that everything goes smoothly; In celery and beef dumplings, celery symbolizes "diligence and wealth", while beef symbolizes "bullish spirit".
