Everyone who meets the age of nine should eat a bowl that is too flat on this day to keep the year safe.
You who are interested in food culture, let's learn about the reasons for being too flat!
The origin of Aojiu Festival comes from the legend of "Mu Lian saves mother". It is said that in ancient times, there was a man named Mulian, whose mother was fierce before her death and was imprisoned in the underworld after her death. When he visited the prison, he often sent food to his mother, but all of them were eaten by the guards' kids. Later, he thought of a way to mix water chestnut, peanuts, red dates, longan, brown sugar and other raw materials with glutinous rice, cook it into sweet porridge, put it in a bowl, and then sprinkle a handful of black sesame seeds to his mother. When the jailer saw that the porridge was dark, he asked, "What is this?" Mu Lian casually replied, "this is a dirty mess." (Fuzhou dialect "nine" and "dirt" are homophonic) The guards believe that this porridge is dirty and dare not eat it. Therefore, "Ou Jiu Zhou" was sent to Mu Lian's mother. It happened to be the 29th day of the first month, and Mulian's mother was just 29 years old this year. According to the folk custom, the first month is divided into three ninth days, the ninth day of the first month is called "Shangjiu", the 19th day is called "Zhongjiu", and the 29th day is called "Houjiu porridge", so this porridge is called "Houjiu porridge" and later it is called "Oujiu porridge" with the color of porridge to show Mulian filial piety to his mother. No matter whether it's the 29th day of the first month or the 29th year, it's the year when Mulian's mother was in trouble. Therefore, Fuzhou people are taboo on the ninth day, thinking that "ninth" is a difficult year. Therefore, anyone who meets the age of "ninth" should eat too flat, and his married daughter should also give her parents a "ninth" to ensure their safety and health.
brief introduction
Taipingmian is a kind of Han pasta snack in Fuzhou. Lines and noodles are widely loved by the people, and there are other nicknames for lines and noodles: Birthday noodles are called "birthday noodles", and women take them as their staple food during childbirth and confinement, and they are called "birthday noodles" with egg wine and chicken soup.
People should eat a bowl of noodles to wish them health and longevity. It's called "Happy Noodles" for the man to send his daughter home after getting married and betrothed, and it's called "Too Flat" when he returns home far away from home or when a long-distance guest starts cooking noodles with two duck eggs (because duck eggs are homophonic with Fuzhou dialect, they all pray for no wind and waves when they go out to sea in the early days, so Fuzhou people call it "Taiping Egg".
In addition, according to the local Han folk custom in Fuzhou, when Fuzhou people celebrate the Lunar New Year's birthday, they should eat a bowl that is too flat on that day, and when there are nine festivals, people whose birthday falls on nine or multiples of nine also need to eat a bowl that is too flat.
