Why do you want to scramble eggs with rice on the third day of the third lunar month? What's the point?

On the third day of the third lunar month, people in China have the custom of eating local dishes and boiling eggs. Shepherd's purse, a local dish, can be seen everywhere on the roadside or in the wild. It is not only nutritious, but also can treat many diseases. There is not only a folk proverb that "shepherd's purse is a panacea on March 3", but also a saying that "eating shepherd's purse in spring is an elixir".

It can be seen that shepherd's purse is not only a delicacy, but also a panacea. In traditional Chinese medicine, shepherd's purse has a wide range of medicinal value and is known as "licorice in vegetables". Chinese medicine believes that shepherd's purse is sweet in taste and cool in nature, and belongs to liver, spleen and kidney meridians, which has the effects of harmonizing spleen, promoting diuresis, stopping bleeding and improving eyesight.

In The Book of Songs, there is also a record of writing poems on the third day of the third lunar month. On this day, a couple of men and women often go hiking. There are also many expressions in Han Yuefu poems; Du Fu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, also wrote such a poem: On March 3rd, it was sunny and sunny, and there were many beauties by the Chang 'an River.

The common people call the wandering waves of many lovers chasing flowers and asking for willows, which is from this. Today, although we can't see the love objects and scenes of ancient people, there are countless love poems and love songs that can make us memorable. In addition, among some ethnic minorities, the custom of singing on March 3rd still exists. Yunnan ethnic minorities, on the third day of the third lunar month, many beautiful boys and girls make love to songs in droves, give each other tokens and meet in the depths of the jungle. This scene is only similar to Valentine's Day in Europe and America.
