A very cultural dish in China is the Century Egg (PiDan 皮蛋), also referred to as Thousand Year Egg, Millennium Egg, 100 Year Egg etc. These eggs are rarely matured more than 100 days. The egg is made by using alkaline materials mixed with clay and then left to "cure" for up to 100 days.
The Lantern Festival is a Chinese festival celebrated on the 15th day of the first month of the Lunar year, when it is full moon.
As early as the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC 25 AD), it has become a festival of great significance.
The Lantern Festival is called Yuan Xiao in Chinese because the first lunar month is called yuan and in the old days the Chinese called the night Xiao.
According to the Chinese tradition, one should hang thousands of colorful lanterns out, and children will attend parades in the evening to celebrate and appreciate the clear bright full moon in the sky.
