WHY DO PEOPLE PLAY THE EGG STANDING GAME ON DRAGON BOAT FESTIVAL?
The Dragon Boat Festival is held on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, which is traditionally an unlucky month. To ensure luck for the coming year, people compete in egg standing contests. It is believed that making an egg stand on this day, especially at mid-day, will bring luck.
CAN YOU REALLY MAKE AN EGG STAND UP?
It is possible to make the egg-stand up; though many people try to cheat by tampering with the eggs. Taking a raw egg and placing it straight up is doable though an urban legend claims it is only possible on the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
However, you can make the egg stand straight up any day you choose by just being patient and carefully setting it on a flat surface. It's easier to place the egg on its wider side and use the natural bumps on the egg to help balance it.
To make egg standing easier to accomplish, you can place the egg on the ground or spread salt on the table, place the egg on top and then blow the salt away.
