Hello everyone, I'm your old friend Fugui! Today, let's talk about the special day of the 10th day of the first lunar month. Do you know that the tenth day of the first lunar month has an interesting common name among the people, called "Stone Festival", also called "Stone Move". Why is it called that? Because, according to legend, this day is the birthday of the stones, and all the stones cannot be moved, and if they do, they will hurt the crops. Haha, don't you think our ancestors are particularly imaginative?
So what are some interesting customs on this day, in addition to not moving stones? Of course, food is indispensable! Today, I will introduce you to 4 kinds of traditional foods that must be eaten on the tenth day of the first lunar month, which means that the time is coming, and if you eat them, you can have good luck in the new year! Come and see if you've eaten it all? It's a pity if you don't eat it!
1. Steamed bread. In the northern region, on the 10th day of the first lunar month, every family will make steamed bread to celebrate. The bun is round, symbolizing reunion, harmony and beauty. Moreover, the homonym of "bun" and "grinding" also means that the new year can be run from time to time and good luck. So, eating steamed buns on this day is a good sign!
2. Noodles. Speaking of noodles, some southern friends may not be familiar with it. Noodles are actually a type of pasta made from flour made from wheat, which is especially popular in the Northwest Territories. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, eating noodles also has a beautiful meaning. Because the shape of the noodles is like a small fish, it means that there is more than enough money every year. So, on this day, eat a bowl of hot noodles, but you can please the head!
3. Stir-fry beans.
In the folk, there is still the custom of eating fried beans on the tenth day of the first lunar month. Because when the beans are fried, the beans will crackle, as if they are setting off firecrackers, which is particularly lively. Moreover, the homonym of "bean" and "teasing" also means that you can be happy and smile in the new year. So, eating some fragrant fried beans on this day can make you feel better!
Fourth, the brand zygote.
The last dish I would like to introduce is the hygote. Zygote is a pie-like pasta dish that is especially popular in the northern regions. On the tenth day of the first lunar month, eating brand zygote also has a good meaning. Because the homonym of "harmony" and "harmony" means family harmony and happiness. Moreover, the shape of the brand zygote is also like a small ingot, implying that the wealth is abundant, rich and auspicious. So, eating some delicious swelling on this day can make the family more harmonious and happy!
Okay, okay, so many delicacies and customs have been introduced, do you think that our ancestors are particularly wise? They celebrate each special day in these simple but meaningful ways, allowing us to enjoy the food while also feeling the charm of traditional culture. So, don't forget about these traditions! On the 10th day of the first lunar month, you must remember to eat these delicacies to please the luck!
In addition to eating delicious food, what are the other interesting customs on the tenth day of the first lunar month? Actually, there are many more! For example, on this day, you have to worship the stone god, and you can't move the earth. These are the traditional customs left by our ancestors, although it may seem a little superstitious now, but it also reflects people's awe of nature and yearning for a better life. So, you can also learn about it!
