The full moon, also known as Mi Yue, is a folk custom in China. When a baby is born for one month, it is called a full moon. The custom of celebrating the full moon is called making a full moon, or for the joy of the next moon. Generally, people will worship their ancestors first or treat them to a banquet, and at the same time shave their baby's fetal hair, wishing him a happy life from scratch. Some people expect future children to be filial to their parents and choose to shave their heads on the 24th day after birth.
Convey good news
Parents usually prepare gifts such as traditional fried rice and red eggs. Fried rice made of rice means reproduction. Red eggs not only symbolize perfection because of their egg shape, but also take the auspicious meaning of "eggs can hatch chickens and chickens can lay eggs". Therefore, the food made of eggs is the most important symbol in the February Festival ceremony. Therefore, "cake" gifts other than fried rice and red eggs have become the most popular good news gifts for modern people.
Usually within six to twelve days of each month, we will worship our ancestors and thank the gods with fried rice and sesame chicken wine, hoping that the baby will grow up perfectly and smoothly. There is also a thank-you basket full of fried rice and sesame-oil chicken wine, which is given to the matchmaker and her family to report good news, also called "reporting wine".
After announcing the good news, they accepted congratulations from their relatives and friends. On the day of the baby's full moon, Jia Xi will thank relatives and friends with fried rice and sesame chicken wine.
