What do Westerners do when they eat apples during the Chinese New Year ?

The day before Christmas is known as Christmas Eve. Before Christmas Eve arrived, a gift called "peace fruit" began to be quietly passed in people's hands. Why eat apples on Christmas Eve, it is understood that "Ping An Fruit" is dressed up with imported apples with bright color and good-looking appearance, mostly red snake fruits, green snake fruits, and of course, there are also domestic red Fuji apples packaged and dressed as "Ping An Fruit".

It is said that "Ping'an Fruit" symbolizes peace and peace, and the reason why "apple" is the first choice for "Ping'an Fruit" is that the word "apple" is taken. It is said that the fruit merchant's costume of "Heian Fruit" was inspired by young people. In the beginning, some young people bought one or two imported apples, then took them to the gift shop and wrapped them to be a gift for a good friend on Christmas Eve, and this "business opportunity" was immediately caught by savvy businessmen.

The reporter saw in some supermarkets that an independent, beautifully packaged "Ping An Fruit" was put on the shelves, and the sales were good. At present, the market price of imported apples is mostly 12 yuan a kilogram, an apple is generally about 5 yuan after weighing, and a domestic red Fuji apple is only about 3 yuan.

The saying of eating apples on Christmas Eve has roughly three origins:

1. It has spread among Chinese college students.

The time is about the mid-80s, and the location is Guangzhou or Wuhan. These people were the pride of the sky at that time, they had such learning opportunities, contacted some foreign students, foreign teachers, and learned about some foreign cultural traditions, so they also celebrated Christmas, but they understood Christmas as the New Year of foreigners, and they added traditional Chinese elements to this festival, and eating apples on Christmas Eve meant peace and security. There are also multiple versions, some of which say that they will ask for 24 apples from 24 people with different surnames.

There is a talk of going to 24 different places to buy 24 apples. There are 6 apples, 3 of which are red and 3 are green. And so on......

2. From international students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

The time is about the early 80s, the location is Guangzhou or Xiamen, when the reform and opening up has just begun, there are not many international students from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and there are not many materials in Chinese society, some of them have the habit of Christmas, but there is no turkey, there is no Christmas dinner, and there is no money to buy anything. In December, only apples are sold, so they eat apples to celebrate. The metaphor is that in the New Year, peace and security.

3. It was spread among apple vendors.

It is unclear that in the mid-90s, the locations were basically all over China, because a large number of foreign fruits flowed into the Chinese market, which was cheap and locally produced, so the merchants who sold apples used Christmas Eve to sell apples. So the Chinese tradition of eating apples on Christmas Eve was officially born.

Some people say that it is enough to buy an apple for 24 jiao to the person who likes it to confess, and some people say that the apple is the legendary wisdom fruit, and it is good to give apples at Christmas. However, the popular situation now is that girls give their boyfriend apples at Christmas, wish him peace, and wish the love between them to be safe and eternal, and for boys, remember to send girls oranges back, which means sincerity, sincerity in love.

In fact, apples are the most common fruits in life, bright color, pleasant fragrance, rich in nutrition, rich in various nutrients, regular consumption can play a good health care effect, such as can play a role in antidiarrheal, prevention and treatment of high blood pressure. Eat an apple at Christmas for better health!
