Share love and luck with family.
Recently, Hahkka people start to sweep their ancestors's or family members' tombs. My mom dyed some eggs to share with kids when they come to our family shrine. According to my uncles, this custom is quite new. After life started to become better in Taiwan, they came out the idea of red eggs. Originally, to inform the birth of new born baby boy, parents prepared red eggs and shared with other family members. Gradually, we want to share more, such as good luck and love. When I was a child, I loved to collect these eggs in my pocket. It's nice to own more.
