In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar in 2021, the breath of winter is getting stronger and stronger, and the cold wind blows across our faces like a sword. Why not follow Mr. Shui Mo to see what the fortune is like in the eleventh month of the lunar calendar!Since when does the custom of giving apples on Christmas Eve begin?Although Christmas Eve and Christmas are foreign festivals, the custom of sending apples originated in China. It is well known that apples represent peace. There are three popular theories about the origin of "sending apples" on the Internet:1. Spread among Chinese college students <br /> Around the mid-1980s, some college students in Guangzhou or Wuhan came into contact with foreign students and foreign teachers, learned about some foreign cultural traditions, and thus began to celebrate Christmas. They understand Christmas as the New Year for foreigners, so they add traditional Chinese elements and eat apples on Christmas Eve to symbolize peace and safety. 2. From the overseas students from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan<br /> In the early days of reform and opening up, there were not many overseas students from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan in Guangzhou and Xiamen, and there were not many supplies on the market. Some of them had the habit of celebrating Christmas, but in December at that time, only apples were sold on the market, so they chose to eat apples to celebrate. 3. Spread from apple sellers <br /> Around the mid-1990s, a large number of foreign fruits flowed into the Chinese market at low prices. Locally produced apples were underselling, so apple sellers took advantage of Christmas Eve to sell apples, and thus the custom of eating apples on Christmas Eve was born. Although the specific origin cannot be determined, it is certain that it is a product of the gradual localization of imported products. What does it mean?The first floor is single-mindedness. The second floor is flying with wings together. The eleventh floor is single-mindedness. The thirty-first floor is wishing you happiness. The fifty-second floor is loving you from afar. The hundredth floor is never changing.——For most people, the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of an apple is that the apple in the morning is a golden apple, the apple at noon is a silver apple, and the apple in the evening is a poisonous apple, so you don’t have to eat the apple immediately after receiving it on Christmas Eve!
