Hey guy! Did you know that these days are the Dragon Boat Festival holiday?
The Dragon Boat Festival is an important festival for Chinese people, today we will talk about this interesting festival and share more about this fascinating celebration through artificial intelligence painting.
Did any of you try the famous egg-balancing trick at noon on Dragon Boat Festival? Oh boy, it's one hilarious tradition! Apart from eating rice dumplings, racing dragon boats, and hanging wormwood and calamus, standing eggs is a unique thing that only Chinese people do.
The story behind standing eggs is quite intriguing. Legend has it that it's a way to worship the Earth God, using eggs as offerings and making them stand upright to show respect and pray for a bountiful harvest! There's another local saying: If you can make an egg stand for one minute, you'll extend your life by a year; if you can make it stand for ten minutes, you'll gain ten more years of life. Wow! If that were true, why did ancient people bother with refining elixir of life?
Now, why do people say that eggs can only stand at noon on Dragon Boat Festival? Well, it's said that the sun's energy is at its strongest during noon, allowing the eggs to miraculously stand. On Dragon Boat Festival day, the sun directly shines on the Northern Hemisphere, and the opposing forces of solar gravity and Earth's gravity create the perfect conditions for eggs to stand. So, standing eggs is actually a battle of forces. Only during the time when the sun is at its peak, and the yang energy is strongest, can the eggs successfully stand.
Apart from these legends and scientific explanations, there's another amusing theory! Traditionally, it's believed that the exact noon during Dragon Boat Festival is the moment when "positive yang energy" is at its peak for the whole year. The eggs, at this moment, absorb the utmost positive energy from heaven and earth. So, those who successfully stand the eggs will have a chance of turning their luck around in the second half of the year. It's a delightful little ritual that fills us with excitement!
But wait! Here come the skeptical scientists to rain on our parade. Japanese physicist Uchiro Tamba published a research paper called "The Egg on Risshun" presenting his experimental data. According to his findings, eggshells actually have at least three points of support, so you don't need Dragon Boat Festival or even noon to make them stand. Oh No! There goes my dreams of longevity and good fortune, sigh!
Speaking of standing eggs, I've got another funny anecdote for you. Once, during a Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor heard that standing eggs could bring good luck. So, he gathered all the ministers to try it out. They were all trying their best but to no avail. Until Chen Shouchang stepped forward, he gently pressed the egg and made it stand upright successfully. The emperor was astonished and asked how he did it. Chen Shouchang replied, 'Just press the egg lightly with your fingertips, and it will stand.' Excited, the emperor wanted to give it a try but ended up smashing the egg, causing the yolk to spill all over the floor. It turned out that Chen Shouchang cheated by using a boiled egg, while the emperor used a raw one. As a result, the emperor got furious and demoted Chen Shouchang.
Lesson learned: Don't mess around with your superiors, folks! Don't follow his example!
If you want to try standing eggs, here are a few tips:
First, use eggs at room temperature. Frozen eggs are too slippery, and the yolk tends to shift, making it difficult to find the center of gravity.
Also, find the center of gravity by gently shaking the egg, causing the yolk to move downwards. This way, the center of gravity will be closer to the bottom.
Oh, here's a sneaky trick for you: choose eggs with uneven surfaces. They are more likely to stand upright.
You can also cheat a little by sprinkling salt, sand, or tiny scraps of paper on the table to create more contact points. This will increase your chances of success!
But remember, the most important thing is to stay calm! Standing eggs requires patience and carefulness. Don't be like the emperor, smashing the egg and ruining the good mood. Only with a calm mind, steady hands, and a touch of finesse, can you successfully complete this seemingly impossible challenge.
Alright, now you know the origins of standing eggs and some interesting theories. Whether you believe in its mystical powers or see it as a fun game, standing eggs are a unique and enjoyable activity during the Dragon Boat Festival. So, why not give it a try when you have the chance?
Remember to stay calm, patient, and attentive. Who knows, you might become a master at standing eggs! Hmmm..... and gain many years of life.
Hope this humorous introduction to standing eggs brought you joy and made you appreciate this amusing traditional activity!

端午節的連假還沒過，大家這幾天有沒有玩得很盡興？
我們繼續來聊聊端午節的話題，並且分享更多關於端午節的AI繪圖
大家有嚐試在端午節中午立蛋嗎？我覺得這個風俗真是有趣到不行！
除了吃粽子、划龍舟、掛菖蒲艾草等傳統習俗外，立蛋可是中國人獨有的玩意兒。
立蛋的典故由來，傳說這是個祭祀土地神的方式，用雞蛋作為祭品，還讓它們直立起來，表示對土地神的敬畏和祈求豐收！
還有一種地方上的說法：如果能夠讓雞蛋直立一分鐘，就能夠延壽一年；如果能夠讓雞蛋直立十分鐘，就能夠延壽十年。
哇！如果這是真的，那古人幹嘛那麼辛苦的煉丹呢？
至於為什麼大家都說端午節的正午立蛋才立得起來呢？
據說，正午時分陽氣最重，這讓雞蛋能夠神奇地立起來。而端午節當天太陽直射北半球，太陽引力與地心引力恰好形成兩股反方向的拉扯力量，因此，這種拉扯力量使得雞蛋能夠立起來。所以，立蛋其實是一場「力量對決」的遊戲，只有陽氣最重、太陽引力最強的正午時刻，才能讓雞蛋成功立起。
除了這些傳說和科學解釋，還有一個有趣的說法！傳統上認為，端午的正午時分是一整年中「正陽極盛」的時刻，陽氣最重！而雞蛋在這個時刻能夠成功立起，原因是蛋能吸收天地間至陽之氣。所以，立蛋成功的人就能獲得下半年轉運的機會，真是一個讓人欣喜若狂的小儀式！
不過，實事求是的科學家最喜歡唱反調了，馬上提出不同的看法
日本物理學家中谷宇吉郎發表了〈立春の卵〉這篇研究論文，從他的實驗數據中得出結論：雞蛋殼上其實至少有3個支撐點，所以不需要端午節，也不需要正中午，只要找到平衡處就可立蛋。
是不是很掃興？打碎了我長壽和好運的夢想了，嘖嘖！
說到立蛋，我還找到一個有趣的小故事
有一年的端午節，皇帝聽說立蛋可以帶來好運，於是召集了朝中的大臣們一起來立蛋。
他們都在競相嘗試，但都無功而返。
直到陳壽昌出場，他拿起一顆雞蛋，輕輕按壓後成功地讓它直立起來。
皇帝震驚不已，問他是如何做到的，陳壽昌答道：「只要用手指尖在雞蛋上稍微用力按壓，就可以讓它直立起來。」
皇帝興奮之下也想試試看，結果卻摔破了蛋，蛋液流了一地。
原來陳壽昌作弊，用的是煮熟的雞蛋，而皇帝用的是生的雞蛋。
結果皇帝大怒，將他貶官流放了。
隨便戲弄長官，可能得不償失啊！大家別學他一樣亂來
如果你想嘗試立蛋，有幾點小技巧：
首先，用常溫的雞蛋，冰過的蛋太滑、蛋黃容易偏移，重心不穩定。
還有，要找到重心位置，可以輕輕甩一下蛋，讓蛋黃下移，這樣重心就會往下。
哦，還有一個小撇步，選擇外觀不平整的蛋，它們更容易直立。
還可以小小作弊一下，在桌面上灑點鹽、沙子或細碎的紙屑，增加接觸點，這樣成功率會更高哦！
當然，最重要的是保持冷靜啦！立蛋是需要耐心和細心的活動。別像皇帝一樣氣急敗壞，摔碎蛋破壞好心情。只有心平氣和、手穩如磐，才能成功完成這個看似不可能的挑戰。
好了，現在你已經知道立蛋的來歷和一些有趣的理論了。不管你相信這種神奇的力量還是覺得它只是一場有趣的遊戲，立蛋都是端午節獨特的有趣活動，不妨找個時間試試看吧！
記得保持冷靜，耐心和細心，也許你會成為立蛋的高手呢！
接下來，就來欣賞我用AI畫的貓女寶寶玩立蛋吧！
祝大家端午節快樂！
