Eating Eggs

吃雞蛋

In many parts of China, eating eggs during Tomb-Sweeping Day is as important as eating moon cakes at Mid-Autumn Festival. The Chinese folk belief is that eating an egg on Tomb-Sweeping Day will bring good health all year. In China, this custom has lasted for thousands of years.

在中國很多地方，清明節吃雞蛋就像中秋節吃月餅那樣重要。有這樣一個民間信仰，清明節吃雞蛋整年都會身體健康。在中國，這一習俗一直延續了好幾千年。

The origin of eating eggs dates back to "Shangsi Jie" (a traditional Chinese festival). In ancient times, women who want to have babies after marriage often colored boiled eggs with different colors and put them into the river, and people living in the lower reaches of the river picked the eggs up and ate them. It was said that the more eggs were eaten, the greater the chance the woman will get pregnant. Today, people believe that eating eggs on Tomb-Sweeping Day will bring success.

吃雞蛋的來源可以回溯到上巳節。古時候，想要懷上孩子的已婚婦女經常在熟雞蛋上染上各種顏色，并把它們放進河里。住在河下游的人們把雞蛋撈起來并吃掉。據說，吃的雞蛋越多，婦女懷上孩子的幾率就越大。今天，人們相信，在清明節吃雞蛋會帶來成功。
