Why does Chang Xia eat duck eggs?
This custom originated in the Three Kingdoms period. Suzhou was Sun Quan's sphere of influence at that time. Sun Quan was very dissatisfied with Liu Bei's failure to return Jingzhou. First, I married my sister, and then I thought my mother Wu Guotai was very ill and cheated my sister Sun Shangxiang back to Soochow. Worried that Sun Shangxiang was not doing well in Soochow, Liu Bei sent an envoy to Soochow to greet him, weigh himself and see how Sun Shangxiang was doing.
Therefore, Wu Dongren doesn't weigh himself at all. The envoy came up with an idea. On the long summer day, he sent someone to put a big scale on the streets of Suzhou. The child weighed it and sent a salted duck egg. Duck eggs are packed in a small net bag with colored silk thread and hung around the child's neck. There are also rumors that children are said to be hooked, meaning that they are not easy to die and grow fast; Adults call it contentment, suspense and no summer. In this way, adults and children are weighed on the scale.
Sun Shangxiang is also happy to weigh himself. Chang Xia said that he ate salted duck eggs by weight, and this custom has been passed down until today.
