Why should full moon wine eat red eggs?

As a carrier of blessing, red eggs express their wishes and expectations for full-moon children.

Full moon wine is also called Mi Yue wine.

In mountainous villages, influenced by the traditions of the past dynasties, the baby boy does not hold a banquet independently at the full moon, mainly considering that the baby is small and afraid of blowing air, which will affect his physique. Family members need to be taken care of wholeheartedly, and there are many trivial things to do in catering. Besides, it's a waste of money to provide a wedding banquet for free, and we have to wait until he grows up and gets married before "getting married".

Co-organizing or "hitchhiking" a banquet saves trouble, effort and money, thus forming a unique traditional "Mi Yue wine" in mountainous areas, which has continued since ancient times.

In Baisha Village, a mountainous area, on the day when the boy was born with a full moon, farmers prepared rich sacrifices such as oily rice, chicken wine and red eggs to worship their ancestors, and told them the birth time and name of their children for protection and peace.

Later, the host went out with oily rice and red eggs (oily rice represents reproduction, and red eggs symbolize perfection and endless auspiciousness), and distributed them door to door to neighbors and in-laws, and reported that a baby boy was born at home on the full moon to share the joy of "adding a baby" with everyone.

1, accept the blessings of friends and relatives. On the day of "full moon wine", there must be many relatives and friends who have skin contact with the baby. In order to prevent the baby from being exposed to too many pollution sources, parents can bring small gloves to the baby. At this point, it is recommended that adults wash their hands before playing with their babies.

Before feeding, mothers should remember to wash their hands and hold their babies.

For the sake of the baby's health, it is not recommended that the baby appear at the party. If you have to participate, parents should put their baby in a place with few people and ventilation.
