Putian Dragon Boat Festival is used to boil eggs.
The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the customs in our province are quite different. In Putian folk, there is a jingle about the Dragon Boat Festival, "The first day cake, the second day zongzi, the third day snail, the fourth day Ai, the fifth day climbing the dragon boat". Thus, Putian Dragon Boat Festival lasts for five days. On the fifth day of May, every household will eat eggs, and the sales of eggs will rise sharply, and the price will naturally rise.

Dragon Boat Festival, commonly known as the "Five-Day Festival", lasts for five days from the first day of May to the fifth day of May every year.

Tiger eggs, eggs (chicken and duck eggs) cooked together when boiling "noon water", it is said that the whole family eats grass and cooks eggs at noon to avoid getting sick in the rain. Parents will weave several "tiger eggs" into small net bags with five-color threads and hang them on their children's chests (some will also be loaded with peach zongzi). Children often compare whose egg bag is more beautiful and holds more eggs. Children often knock on "tiger eggs" to see whose eggshells are harder.
