The origin of eating noodles on the twenty-seventh day:
The purpose of eating noodles on the twenty-seventh day is to "tie the legs", which means peace and health. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, "children's legs are tied", on the seventeenth day of the lunar month, "adults' legs are tied", and on the 27th day of the lunar month, "old people's legs are tied" to express blessings and visions during the Lunar New Year. Among the traditional customs of the Chinese nation, there is a festival called "Human Day Festival". Eating noodles has become the most common way to celebrate "Human Day Festival".
Because ancient people were superstitious, there is a saying that "eating noodles on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month will tie up the legs of children." Therefore, eating noodles on the 27th of the first lunar month is to prevent children from having their souls seduced by the underworld and to grow healthily throughout the year. This traditional custom has evolved into the meaning of seeking good luck, avoiding bad luck, and living a long and healthy life. Noodles originated in China and have a history of making and eating for more than 4,000 years.
