What does it mean to divide eggs in spring?

Separating eggs in spring is one of the traditional customs in China, mainly to celebrate the vernal equinox and solar terms, and also to symbolize the growth of everything and a new beginning.

On the day of the vernal equinox, because the sun shines directly on the equator at the vernal equinox, day and night are equal, so the ancients thought it was particularly peaceful. People will put an egg upright on the table, and this egg can remain upright, which symbolizes that after the beginning of spring, spring has arrived and everything has begun to recover and regenerate. Another explanation is that the vernal equinox is the balance of yin and yang between heaven and earth, and the atmosphere of peace is the strongest, which can make ordinary eggs stand up, meaning that they are full of vitality and welcome the new season.

Vertical eggs at the vernal equinox, also known as vernal equinox eggs, refer to the "vertical egg game" that is popular all over the country every year on the vernal equinox. This China custom has already spread abroad and become a "world game". The ancestors of the Chinese nation began to celebrate the arrival of spring, and the saying that "when the vernal equinox arrives, eggs look good" began to spread.
