These three non-empties respectively refer to: non-empty house, non-empty pot and non-empty egg.
1. Not Empty Houses
This is easy to understand. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a reunion festival, so it is the core idea of this festival that the family is happy and have a reunion dinner together. The dishes may not be rich, but the family must be "popular", and the family is prosperous and United, so it will naturally get better and better in the future, and it will be understandable if you are not poor.
2, not empty pot
Not empty pot means to prepare rich meals at home, and to cook some dishes with good meaning. When making, all kinds of pots will be used. When the pot is empty, it means that people are lazy or poor. At the same time, if you cook in this sky, the meaning is not good. No one at home cooks, which is somewhat inconsistent with the festive atmosphere.
3. Not empty eggs
Not empty eggs means eating eggs. This is a custom in northern Jiangxi. At the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, a large bowl of eggs will be cooked, and everyone who eats will eat one or several eggs. Eggs represent gold ingots, which means excellent meaning. Therefore, eggs are a must-eat food at the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet.
Taboos for Mid-Autumn Festival
1. Don't peel off moon cakes in advance: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, moon cakes are one of the essential delicacies. However, according to the traditional custom, don't peel the moon cakes in advance on the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is because moon cakes symbolize reunion, and peeling them off in advance will destroy this symbolic meaning.
2. Don't cut moon cakes with scissors: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, some people will cut moon cakes with scissors, which is not respected. Traditionally, moon cakes should be broken by hand, which means reunion and harmony.
3. Don't leave the bowl empty for the night: Try not to leave the bowl empty for the night on the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is because an empty bowl is homophonic with "bowl" in Chinese, which is considered unlucky. Moreover, keeping leftovers in the bowl is also a kind of respect for saving food.
4. Don't cut your nails: During the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's best to avoid cutting your nails. Because "cutting nails" is similar to "cutting (breaking) family ties" in Chinese, it is considered to destroy the meaning of family reunion.
