As the saying goes, "You must eat salted eggs first, jiaozi." Because the Dragon Boat Festival indicates that the hot summer is coming, the life activities of animals and plants have entered a vigorous stage, coupled with the humid climate, active pests and bacteria, it is easy to cause many diseases. In ancient times, May was regarded as "poisonous month" and "evil month", and plagues and sores spread, especially on the fifth day of May. Moreover, the shape of an egg is like a heart. Eating an egg can keep the spirit of the heart from being lost.
