Going out of the garden is an adult ceremony in Chaoshan area. In the eyes of Chaoshan people, underage children are like living in a garden. When you reach adulthood (65,438+05 years old in nominal age and 65,438+06 years old in Hailufeng area), you have to "leave the garden", which means that you can live independently as an adult.

On the day of leaving the garden, treat the children as adults, sit in a big position at the dinner table, put a plate of chicken in the middle of the table, and the head of the chicken faces the children, and the children eat the head of the chicken. There is a saying: "I bit a chicken's head" which means I left the garden. In addition to fish, meat and eggs, there are spring vegetables (meaning leftover), leeks (longevity and permanence of leeks), thick vegetables (getting along with everyone), big vegetables (getting bigger and taller after eating), fish (meaning someone helps), and most importantly, a bowl of pig liver, pig heart, pig intestines, pig stomach and pig lungs.

It means to let children get rid of bad habits such as playfulness and naughty, and put on new intestines, because hipsters call reasonable people "having stomachs". From then on, I bid farewell to my wonderful childhood and embarked on the course of adulthood.
