What are the customs of Guangzhou children's full moon?

Guangzhou children's full moon has many traditional customs, including:

1. On the day before the full moon, grandma's family will send clothes, food and colored thread (longevity thread) to make a red envelope with coins and hang it on the baby's chest, called a brass cymbal. The bride's family buys new clothes, shoes, hats, chairs, trolleys, cradles and other children's products for her grandson, and delivers them on the day of the child's full moon, which is called Mi Zhu.

2. Relatives and friends send red envelopes or gifts to congratulate them, and there are sacrifices to enjoy their ancestors and banquets at home. Children eat red eggs during the full moon wine, which is also called eating full moon eggs. This kind of wedding banquet is different from other wedding banquets. All the guests who sit at the table and eat wine will take out four boiled eggs dyed red and let everyone take them back as gifts.

3. At the full moon, babies often use the head of a male goose to cut meat, which means that when children are used to falling, they will hold up like the head of a goose without hurting their heads. When the child is full moon, the daughter will take the child to her mother's house, and the grandson will go to her grandmother's house with her mother for the first time after birth. It says "out of the nest"

When the children come home, grandma will put flowers on her grandson's shoulders and hang a silver pendant around her neck to show that she hopes her grandson will live long and be rich.

These customs and habits represent Guangzhou people's good wishes and blessings for newborns.
