The 26th of the twelfth lunar month will fall on January 28 in 2022. According to the old theory, “the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month” is believed to be a festival for all children, and they can finally eat “nian rou”, the meat of the year.
In the past, ordinary people are relatively poor, and there were many people in their families, so they often skipped their meals, while some family’s conditions were slightly better, they could only afford to eat some wild vegetables.
Finally, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and the laborers in the family have started to kill pigs. People who don’t raise pigs will go to the market to buy a piece of pork and go home. Therefore, the twelfth lunar month’s 26th stew is also known as “the twelfth lunar month.” Sixth, slaughter the pigs to slice the meat for the New Year.”
At the same time, due to the underdeveloped farming society and economy, people often can only eat meat during the festival, so it is called “nian rou”. “Nianrou” pays attention to eating braised pork. The meat itself represents the meaning of wealth, and braised pork is more able to express the prosperity of the coming year. How many people are there in a bowl of steaming and meaty braised pork? I am looking forward to it on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Even today, the days of every family are getting more and more prosperous, and buying some big meat on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month has become an old tradition that many people have not forgotten.
