There are many traditional and dietary taboos during the Lantern Festival. Do you know?
Introduction: Every festival has its own cultural connotation and significance, and every festival also has its own customs and taboos. The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is a traditional festival for Chinese people. So, what taboos should we pay attention to during the Lantern Festival? Now, please follow the editor to explore what taboos there are during the Lantern Festival! During the first month of the lunar calendar, you will have a good year. The first month is the most important month of spring. Mr. Shui Mo will share with you some knowledge about January.Detailed explanation of the traditional taboos of the Lantern FestivalOn the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people hold lantern festivals, enjoy lanterns, eat Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings), perform social activities, and play with dragon lanterns. In some cities and counties, there is a custom that new brides should avoid looking at the lights at their parents' home, saying: "If you look at the lights at your parents' home, your father-in-law will die." However, in some places, a new bride must live with her parents' home on the day of her wedding, which is called "hiding from the lights." It is also taboo to have wind, snow, rain or fog on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. If this is the case, it means the year will be bad. As the saying goes, "When there are lights on the Lantern Festival, people and animals are healthy; when there is wind and snow, people get sick and cows die." Suitable for: getting married, coming of age, accepting marriage proposals, traveling, meeting relatives and friends, raising beams, installing machinery, installing beds, animal husbandry, hunting, offering sacrifices, praying, consecrating, repairing and installing doors. Taboo: moving into a new house, building a stove, treating illness, burying people, and migrating. This year's almanac records many auspicious events, and most of them are happy events or things that need to be prepared, which foreshadow a good harvest and joy for the year. What we should avoid are big moves and unlucky things, so we should try to avoid them.Detailed explanation of food taboos during the Lantern FestivalYou have to eat Yuanxiao during the Lantern Festival, which is the same as eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolizing reunion and perfection. In the north, Yuanxiao dumplings are mostly filled with sweet fillings, such as sugar, bean paste, sesame, hawthorn, etc., while in the south, they are filled with sweet, salty, meat or vegetarian fillings. The outer skin of Yuanxiao is made of glutinous rice flour. Glutinous rice contains more starch, is highly sticky and difficult to digest. People with poor gastrointestinal function, the elderly and children should be particularly careful when eating it to avoid indigestion or swallowing difficulties. In addition, when eating Yuanxiao, be careful not to burn your mouth and cause unnecessary harm. Patients with ulcer diseases, including gastric ulcer and duodenal ulcer, should not eat too sweet food to avoid increased gastric acid secretion and increased irritation to the ulcer surface. "Treatise on Febrile Diseases" specifically advises that when people have just recovered from a serious illness or have just gotten well, they should "avoid raw, cold, sticky and slippery foods", so patients should not eat too many Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings).Summary: The main content of the above article is the analysis of the taboos of the Lantern Festival, including traditional taboos and dietary taboos. You can refer to it. I wish you all a happy and auspicious Lantern Festival!
