Hello everyone, I'm Fugui! In this era of intertwined tradition and modernity, we must not only embrace the trendy, but also not forget the treasures left by our ancestors. Especially those secrets hidden in the calendar, such as today - the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, a "fortune day" that sounds like an eye-catcher!
What the? You say you don't know? Oh, then I'll have to tell you about my wealth today. The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, on the calendar of our ancestors, is a great auspicious day, which means that the new year will be prosperous and lucky. Moreover, there are a lot of exquisiteness and customs on this day, especially about eating, which is even more knowledgeable!
1. Dumplings - a house full of gold and silver welcomes the God of Wealth.
The first to appear, of course, is our northern dumplings! The shape of the dumplings is like a small gold ingot, which means that the wealth is abundant and the house is full of gold and silver. Especially on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, eating dumplings symbolizes the arrival of the God of Wealth and makes the new year prosperous.
Moreover, the filling of the dumplings is also very particular. For example, the dumplings stuffed with leeks mean "long-term wealth" and hope for long-term wealth; Dumplings stuffed with cabbage symbolize "a hundred wealth", hoping that the wealth will be wide and all industries will be prosperous. What do you think? Do you feel that eating dumplings has become ritualistic?
2. Fish - every year there is more than enough wealth and longevity.
The next thing to talk about is an indispensable dish on the table of our Chinese - fish! Fish has always been a symbol of good luck in traditional Chinese culture, implying that there is more than enough wealth every year. Especially eating fish on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, I hope that the new year will be prosperous and prosperous.
However, you have to be careful when eating fish, don't turn the fish over and eat it! Because in traditional culture, turning the fish over and eating it is a symbol of bad luck, implying bad things such as "capsizing the boat" and "overturning the car". Therefore, when eating fish, you should carefully eat one side clean, and then gently pick up the fish bones with chopsticks to eat the other side cleanly. In this way, you can avoid the meaning of bad luck and enjoy the delicious fish!
3. Lettuce - there is a way to make money and good luck.
Lettuce, homonym "wealth", means that the new year can make money and prosperity. Eating lettuce on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month is also hoping to eat good luck and fortune into the stomach! In addition, lettuce is refreshing and crisp, and it is rich in nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, making it delicious and healthy.
Fourth, tangyuan - sweet and sweet family carnival.
In the southern region, there is still the custom of eating rice balls on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month! Tangyuan is a symbol of reunion and family happiness. Eating glutinous rice balls on this day means family harmony and happiness in the new year. Moreover, there are a variety of fillings for glutinous rice balls, including sesame filling, bean paste filling, peanut filling, etc., each of which is sweet and delicious, and makes people have an endless aftertaste.
Fifth, noodles - a long and long-term career.
The last thing to say is one of our Chinese's favorite noodles - noodles! Noodles symbolize longevity, longevity and health. Eating noodles on the 18th day of the first lunar month is also to hope that you can have a long career and good health in the new year. There are also a variety of noodle recipes, such as noodle soup, mixed noodles, fried noodles, etc., each with a unique flavor that makes people want to stop.
Okay, okay, after talking about so much food, my saliva is going to flow down when I am rich! However, although these customs and exquisiteness are important, the most important thing is our own mentality and efforts! In the new year, we must be down-to-earth, diligent and diligent to pursue our dreams and goals! Only in this way can we truly usher in good luck and wealth!
Oh, it's not early, Fugui, I have to hurry up and prepare today's dinner! Don't forget, on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, you must eat these five kinds of food! I wish you all a prosperous new year!
