After the emperor died young, the youngest son succeeded to the throne, and the traitor continued to be in charge of the throne as an assistant minister. However, there are people outside, and there are mountains outside. The treacherous court official's trick was seen through by a loyal minister, and the treacherous court official and his entourage were hacked, and Yuanxiao was listed as a forbidden thing in the palace.
"Yuanxiao" is the homonym of "the vitality dissipates". In addition, if you bite it, the contents will flow out like the stomach, indicating that your vitality has dissipated. Moreover, eating glutinous rice food itself will pose a threat and harm to the body.
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, the damage and dissipation of primordial qi are caused by many factors, such as opening the chest and abdomen directly by surgery; Causes of serious diseases; Ideological reasons; The reason for the behavior; The cause of physical injury; Wait a minute. Among the five factors listed, eating Yuanxiao or Tangyuan (which also means damaging vitality, but the practice changed slightly later) can damage and dissipate vitality in at least the last three ways.
A few years later, the world became more and more chaotic. In order to control the subjects of the world and protect the country forever, the emperor introduced the Lantern Festival with new myths to the people at the suggestion of a minister. However, all people have their own preferences. How can they eat them often? So the emperor had to be instructed by experts to take the fifteenth day of the first month, which has the strongest influence on the human magnetic field, as the Lantern Festival, and all the people should eat it. Among the nobles in the palace, Yuanxiao has always been forbidden.
Many years later, seeing the people's listlessness, decadence and foreign invasion, an informed minister suggested that the Lantern Festival be banned nationwide, but how can the royal order be changed constantly? Moreover, the emperor was worried that the people would rise again after fasting, so he delayed making a decision.
Later, at the suggestion of a minister, in order to wake up decadent people and not make them make trouble, the emperor issued an order: the fifteenth day of the first month is both the Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival. On this day and around, besides eating Yuanxiao, we should also enjoy lanterns. Light can have a certain effect on the special magnetic field of the full moon night and people's consciousness to summon their decadent hearts. And continuing to eat Yuanxiao can continue to dissipate their vitality.
In the days to come, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, it is no longer forbidden to eat Yuanxiao in the palace. Many Yuanxiao will be cooked on the fifteenth day of the first month, but it is only a decoration. In the end, all the maids and eunuchs will eat it.
In this way, many years have passed, and there is no record that the emperor and his cronies have eaten Yuanxiao …
Until Qing dynasty ..
According to official records, the emperor began to eat Yuanxiao from Xianfeng. His son Tongzhi and later Guangxu also loved Yuanxiao. Before them, Daoguang, Jiaqing and Ganlong had never eaten Yuanxiao. According to unofficial history's records, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he brought back a married woman from the folk to the palace. Influenced by this woman, she once ate Yuanxiao, but it has never been confirmed by official history (the draft of Qing history is also controversial). It can be proved that Kangxi never eats Yuanxiao, but his father Shunzhi can't prove it. It is impossible to eat Yuanxiao before Huang Taiji and Nurhachi (who did not claim to be emperors) entered the customs.
Up to now, only a few people know the mystery, and they will definitely not eat Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Of course, they won't tell others easily.
If one day, you take Yuanxiao to visit a friend, and when you leave, you find that you forgot your car keys, and when you go back to get it, you find that the jiaozi you gave him is missing, then you can be sure that he has poured jiaozi into the toilet. (turning)
