Dumping Festival & The mystery of the standing eggs

Today (8th Jun) Chinese is celebrating a very special occasion, it call dumping or Duan Wu Jie in mandarin. I have forgotten how the history comes to dumping, but according to children story there was this special poet in Chinese history that lost in the river. Worrying for his remains eaten by sea creatures the villages threw some sort of dumpling into the river so the sea creatures will not harm his remains!
What’s a story! Okay, please don’t listen to me I may get the story wrong 
But one thing for sure, after century of dumping foods onto the river and still the remains of this so call “special” was never to be found and that’s when we modern folk decided to dump into our stomach instead! ROFL!
I’m sure you’ll love it!
The next most exciting story would be the standing eggs ROFL! Have you tried it yourself? To stand an egg thus “standing egg”? hot? Excited? Let watch the next video just taken this afternoon… may look intriguing
So what do you think? I was actually amazed by it. There’s in fact no secret to how you can stand an egg! On a not so special occasion to stand an egg needs skill and you can make it happen. If you want to make it stand without even a trial run than you would want to does it sharp at 12noon on Dumping Festival day. For some of you in other part of the world, you can try it on the very first day of spring or maybe autumn!
In the name of science, the reason of why an egg standing is because our surface are pointing directly at the sun on these day. Of cause gravity plays important roles in your standing eggs too
I hope you will enjoy your next standing eggs and have a good day, god bless!
You’ve really tried it? Lol…. Why don’t you tell me earlier so that I can try eggs in the curry as well.. lol..
I heard about this via the night news. It’s amazing and I heard it’s because of the forces between sun and earth.
True?
Yeah oh Curryegg! My bad
you can try it next year hahhahahaa
Yes I tried it and it was fun! You saw my video right? You just need to hold it and let go it will stand! No sweat
I will have my eyes and mind open next time incase something about “egg” may interest you. I have not post the century egg that I ate in Japan. Suppose to give my long life, for another 7 years at least hahahahah that’s the Japanese believe.
Cheers
