Worship Linshui Niangniang. People call the 14th day of the first lunar month the birthday of "Linshui Niangniang" (also known as "Shuntian Holy Mother"). Legend has it that Linshui Niangniang's surname was Chen. She lived during the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty and later became a deity who saved women with difficult childbirth. So people built a temple to worship her, and called her "Linshui Niangniang" and "Shuntian Shengmu". In fact, it is a patron saint created by women for themselves in an era when women had no status and science was underdeveloped. It was also a way for them to encourage themselves out of fear of difficult childbirth. 2. Eating Mai Liu On the 14th night of the first lunar month, every household in Ninghai, both urban and rural areas, eats Mai Liu for dinner. Mai Liu is made by cooking vegetable leaves, shredded dried tofu, dried shrimp and shredded sweet potato flour together, then adding wheat flour and stirring until it becomes a thin paste, which is called "Mai Liu". Why does Ninghai eat Mai Liu on the 14th night of the first lunar month? It is said that this is related to Qi Jiguang's fight against Japanese pirates. 3. Drink eye-brightening soup. In Xinchang, there is a custom of drinking eye-brightening soup on the 14th day of the first lunar month. There is a folk saying that once the bright eyes soup is drunk on the fourteenth night, it means that the Spring Festival is almost over and everyone should cheer up and start the work of the new year. The highlight soup is a bowl of vegetable and mochi soup. Cut the glutinous rice cake into strips the size of your little finger, then mix the washed vegetables together, put them in a pot and cook them, add appropriate amounts of salt and soy sauce, and a pinch of cooked lard, and it becomes a traditional eye-catching folk soup.Summary: The above article content is what the editor wants to introduce to readers about the festivals and customs on the 14th day of the first lunar month.
