What's jiaozi's explanation for seeing Fujian off?

The phrase "welcome guests to jiaozi" is not just a custom of welcoming guests to dinner. Jiaozi has a profound meaning, which means reunion and reunion. The guests will have jiaozi for their first meal, which means everyone is reunited.

When the guests leave, they eat noodles, which means long, long. For example, everyone is used to eating longevity noodles on their birthdays, which also means eating noodles when they leave, which means that our friendship will last forever.

In ancient times, once you went out, it was only three to five years, and communication was underdeveloped. There is no telephone to report your safety, and there is no computer to convey your thoughts. Therefore, going out is getting longer and heavier. No wonder master Tang went west, and even the emperor Lao Tzu personally saw him off.

Since it's so grand, it's natural to be lucky. Jiaozi means auspiciousness and harmony, while noodles mean decency. Therefore, the literati gave jiaozi's reception a profound and wonderful meaning: go out and go home with dignity.

Of course, there is another moral, that is, the noodles are long and messy, which symbolizes the long and constant yearning. Seeing guests off with your face, you go out with lingering thoughts, becoming more and more confused and suffering from parting. In my hometown of jiaozi, jiaozi is usually called steamed buns together with steamed bread.

So, sometimes, if the welcome faces in Fujian and jiaozi are so warm as snow, it is simply called "get out and eat steamed stuffed bun rice", which means, get out, don't think about me, all feelings and righteousness, all reluctance and yearning are in silence, showing the simplicity and sincerity of folk customs.

I don't know whether the folk custom of sending Fujian jiaozi first gives the literati the meaning, or the auspicious meaning first, then the folk custom. It must be the entanglement of chicken laying eggs or egg laying eggs. Anyway, this custom has been passed down through the ages.
