Legend has it that a long time ago, there was a god of pestilence in the sky, who would sneak down to the lower realm every Dragon Boat Festival to harm people. Most of the victims were children, who suffered from fever and anorexia, or were bedridden. Mothers went to the temple of Nuwa to burn incense and kowtow to the god, praying that the plague would be eliminated and good fortune would come. Nuwa approached the Plague God and argued, "In the future, you will not be allowed to harm my first-born children." Knowing that he was no match for Nuwa, the Pestilence God asked, "I wonder how many first-born children do you have in the lower realms of the Mother?" Nuwa smiled, "Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival, I have my first-born children hang an egg bib on their chests, so you're not allowed to mess around."

Since then, the custom of hanging an egg at the Dragon Boat Festival has gradually spread. On this day, mothers will be boiled salted eggs hung on the child's chest, praying for peace.
