1, first remove the shrimp line, then put the sliced ginger in the water, add a proper amount of cooking wine and salt, and boil the water with high fire.
2. Put the shrimps into the water, remove them when they become discolored, and finally remove the shells to leave the shrimps.
3. Cut the carrot into a semicircle and put it at the bottom of the shrimp, then cut several flower-shaped plates, and finally make the cooked shrimp into a lantern shape.
The source and origin of the Spring Festival
In ancient times, after people finished farming for a year, people held sacrificial activities at the beginning of the new year to pay homage to the gods and ancestors in heaven and earth and pray for a good year. Since ancient times, people have emphasized the significance of the beginning of the year as the beginning of the year. Although the situation of ancient ceremonies is obscure, we can still find clues from the ceremonies of later generations. The origin and development of the Spring Festival is a process of gradual formation and subtle improvement.
Although there was a custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in ancient China, it was not called the Spring Festival at that time. Because the Spring Festival mentioned at that time refers to the "beginning of spring" among the 24 solar terms. The Northern and Southern Dynasties generally referred to the Spring Festival as the whole spring. It is said that it was after the Revolution of 1911 that the Lunar New Year was officially named Spring Festival. Because the solar calendar was to be used at that time, in order to distinguish between agriculture and Yang, the first day of the first lunar month was renamed the Spring Festival.
