Red Egg Tradition
The "Red Egg Tradition" is a Chinese custom that celebrates the birth of a baby. During this event, family and friends present red-dyed eggs to symbolize good luck, happiness, and fertility. The color red is significant in Chinese culture, representing joy and prosperity. The eggs are often given during a gathering or a special ceremony, marking the new life and the family's joy.
In addition to being a gift, the red eggs are sometimes served at the baby's first month celebration, known as the full moon celebration. This tradition emphasizes the importance of family and community support in welcoming a new child into the world.
