Why do we eat turkey at Christmas?It is said that on Christmas Day in 1620, a large number of immigrants from Britain arrived at Mount Primaus in America. At that time, there was almost no food except turkeys that were everywhere in the mountains, so they had to roast turkey for the holiday.Turkey is large, meaty, delicious, nutritious, and low in cholesterol, so it is favored by Westerners. Eating turkey at Christmas has since become a tradition. Turkey originated in America. After it was introduced to Europe, people found that it was much more delicious than the popular roast goose at the time, so it became a big dish. Turkey is a specialty of America and had been domesticated by Indians before Europeans arrived in America. The name of turkey in English is "Türkiye". Because Europeans thought it looked like Turkish clothing: black body and red head. Europeans like to eat roast goose. After immigrating to America, they wanted to eat goose before they had even raised it, so they ate turkey, and they found that turkey tasted better than goose. And there are a lot of turkeys in North America. As a result, roast turkey became a staple dish for Americans and an indispensable part of important festivals. What are the taboos to pay attention to during funerals?1. Avoid holding funerals on double-year dates. Even days are a bad omen, as people believe that a funeral held on an even day means two deaths. Therefore, funerals must be held on odd days and not on even days.2. Avoid holding funerals at noon. This taboo custom exists in the Li ethnic group area. If someone dies in a Li family, they are usually buried in the afternoon after dying in the morning, or the next day after dying in the afternoon. The body is kept at home for a very short time, but it is taboo to hold the funeral at noon. It is believed that violating taboos will bring disaster. 3. Avoid shedding tears on the corpse. There is a saying circulating in some areas that if someone in the family dies, one should avoid crying when dressing the deceased to avoid spilling tears on the corpse. It is believed that something will happen and the dead will be awakened. 4. Avoid letting the coffin go out through the door. There is a saying that the Manchus have taboo customs. It is believed that doors are places for people to enter and exit, and it is taboo for the deceased to walk sideways, otherwise it is considered unlucky, so there is a custom of taking out the coffin through the window. 5. Cats are not allowed to appear in front of the coffin. Before the funeral, the body is kept at the wake and cats are not allowed to approach. It is believed that if a cat touches or jumps over the body, it will be as if the deceased suddenly stands up, which means harm to the family.
