Later, people continued to improve the cooking methods, adding fennel, ginger, cinnamon, star anise and other spices to tea, so that tea eggs are no longer a seasonal food for the beginning of summer, but a traditional snack in my country. During the summer solstice, people in Hengyang, Chenzhou, Yongzhou in southern Hunan and Xiangxi eat summer solstice eggs. On the summer solstice, boil a whole egg, peel it, add red dates and cook it into soup, which is called "eating summer solstice eggs". During the dog days, people have poor appetite and are often thinner than usual, which is commonly known as "bitter summer". In some places in Shandong, people eat raw cucumbers and boiled eggs to cure "bitter summer". In the morning of the first dog days, they eat eggs and no other food. What are the taboos of engagement?(1) Avoid using unlucky names in betrothal giftsIn the old days, after the man’s family selected an auspicious date, they would bring gift money and gifts to the woman’s family 15 to 20 days before the wedding. Generally, this ceremony is very grand, because the amount of the betrothal gift given by the man to the woman can not only reflect how much the man values the woman, but also reflect the man's family conditions. Each item in the betrothal gift should have an auspicious name. For example, during the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were nine fixed betrothal gifts, including cassia bark, Jiahe, donkey-hide gelatin, cattail leaf, red reed, double stones, cotton wool, longevity thread, and dry lacquer. Each item has the meaning of blessing the couple's love to last forever. (2) Avoid giving betrothal gifts in odd numbers The number should also be even rather than odd, because even numbers are a symbol of good luck and there is an old saying among the people that "good things come in pairs". The odd number is an unlucky symbol and is therefore taboo. (3) Avoid including shoes in the betrothal gift In some places, it is taboo to include shoes in the betrothal gift because people are afraid that the woman will wear the shoes and run away. (4) Avoid putting meat filling in the betrothal gift box In some places, it is taboo to put meat filling in the gift box of betrothal gifts. It is said that if meat filling is put in the gift box, the new bride will be slow in temper and will be slow in doing things after she gets married. 2020 is the year of Tai Sui for people born in the Year of the Rat.
