There is a folk song circulating in China: "Red eggs, full strings, eat your happy buns this year and eat your red eggs next year." Steamed buns are an auspicious wedding custom food. It is said that it is lucky for relatives to take it home to eat. Therefore, this ballad belongs to the auspicious language of blessing. Literally, the two red eggs at the beginning and end of this sentence have different meanings. The former "red egg" appears as a sacred object and has the function of praying for the blessing of the son. Then a "red egg" becomes a sign of the good news of a child's birth, and it is also an object that plays a role in announcing. Distributing eggs dyed red with pigments to relatives and friends is a popular way to express happiness all over the country. It is often used in wedding, childbirth, "full moon" and other festive occasions to show celebration and auspiciousness.

People in China have always had the tradition of sharing red eggs, mainly to celebrate birthdays or pray for children. The following are the customs of leaving red eggs in several small plots:

1. In Weishan County, Shandong Province, after the bride was sent to the bridal chamber, the woman who helped her get off the sedan chair lifted the sedan chair face, rolled a few red eggs on her face, and read auspicious words while rolling: "Red eggs, a string of faces, eat your favorite steamed bread this year, and eat your favorite eggs next year."

In other rural areas, one or two days before the wedding, the woman has to undergo plastic surgery: wringing her face. They twisted some fluff from her forehead and back neck with two twisted red lines. Specifically, please ask the two eldest sisters to take turns, one tight, one loose and one tight, and screw off the fluff. Twist her face and roll two red eggs on her face. . Then, sprinkle some powder on the bride's face, which can not only cover the "distorted" blood spots, but also beautify her face. The red egg also played a role in this program. Although the specific lyrics are different, the expression content remains the same.

In the old society, boys born in Jiaoxian reported good news to their parents on the third day, and girls reported good news on the sixth day. When my husband's family went, they brought 20 steamed buns, weighing 1 kg. Otherwise, the children will be difficult to raise, and parents will have to go back 19 red eggs and 4 bowls of millet. The first person you meet on the road will give them red eggs, which is called "everyone loves you";

4. In Penglai County, boys bring roosters to report good news and girls use hens to report good news, which shows the important position of chickens and eggs in traditional folk customs.

5. In Zouxian County, boys report good news with a book and girls with a flower. In addition, they send "good news eggs" to neighbors and relatives, that is, when the eggs are dyed red, parents, relatives and neighbors come to congratulate their new happiness, which is called "sending porridge rice" or "sending Tommy"; In Kaifeng area, babies often bring red eggs when they report good news after birth. If it is a boy, if you want six or eight, it must be an even number. After dyeing red, you should also use ink to put a black spot on one end of the egg to show "great joy". The reason why boys give even numbers is because when children grow up, it is easy to find a daughter-in-law, and when they are paired with a daughter-in-law, they can have a good full moon. If it is a girl, the egg is only dyed red, and there are no black spots. The number is 5 or 7, and it must be singular, meaning "little Xi". Sending an odd number of eggs means that there is one more girl at home and she can get married in the future.
