In which dynasty did the custom of eating Yuanxiao on the Lantern Festival begin?

There is a custom in our country of eating Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival. According to folk legend, the Lantern Festival originated from King Zhao of Chu during the Spring and Autumn Period.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, King Zhao of Chu passed by the Yangtze River and saw something floating on the surface of the river. It was a sweet food that was white on the outside and red on the inside.
King Zhao of Chu asked Confucius for advice, and Confucius said, "This is the fruit of duckweed. If you get it, it will be a sign of revival for your master."
Yuanxiao, like the rice cakes during the Spring Festival and the rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival, are all festive foods. Eating Yuanxiao symbolizes family reunion like the full moon, and expresses people’s good wishes for their future life.
Yuanxiao is called "tangyuan", "yuanzi", "floating yuanzi" and "shuiyuan" in the south. It is made of glutinous rice and can be solid or stuffed.
The fillings include red bean paste, white sugar, hawthorn, etc., and can be boiled, fried, steamed or deep-fried.

What are the taboos to pay attention to when getting married?

1. The bride’s clothes should not have pockets, so as not to take away the wealth from her parents’ home.
2. Three days after the wedding, the newlyweds must return to their husband’s home before sunset and cannot stay overnight. If there are special reasons that prevent them from going home, the couple should sleep separately to prevent the bride's bloodiness during her honeymoon from offending her family and bringing bad luck to them.
3. Pregnant women and people in mourning are not allowed to witness the newlyweds leaving the house or moving in, and they are not allowed to touch the newlyweds’ clothes or any items in the new house.
4. When the groom goes to the bride's house to pick up the bride, the bride may leave her parents' home or cry for joy out of excessive excitement. This is very common and not a problem (it is even a good thing, as leaving "water head" behind will bring good luck to the bride's family). But after you marry into the man’s family, you are not allowed to cry.
5. The bride should avoid wearing "old shoes" on the wedding day. All wedding shoes, embroidered shoes and evening shoes should be new. If you are worried that the new shoes will be hard and uncomfortable, you should choose higher quality soft leather, size them a little looser and add thick pads. Also, you should not wear heels that are too high.
6. You can wear some mascots or lucky charms. But don't buy randomly.
7. The bride should be careful not to step on the groom's shoes, as this would be considered embarrassing for her husband.
8. When the bride enters the groom's house, she should avoid stepping on the threshold and should step over it.
