jīn tiān今天shì是2026 nián2026年2 yuè2月12 rì12日,yě也shì是nóng lì农历là yuè腊月èr shí wǔ二十五。

Today is February 12, 2026, which is also the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.

suí zhe随着chūn jié春节de的jiǎo bù脚步yuè lái yuè越来越jìn近,zhōng guó中国mín jiān民间de的guò nián过年qì fēn气氛yě也yuè lái yuè越来越nóng浓le了。

As the Spring Festival approaches, the festive atmosphere among the Chinese people grows stronger.

zài在zhōng guó中国,yǒu有yī jù一句liú chuán流传hěn很jiǔ久de的lǎo huà老话:“là yuè腊月èr shí wǔ二十五,tuī推mó磨zuò做dòu fǔ豆腐。”

In China, there is an old saying that has been passed down for a long time: "On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month, grind soybeans to make tofu."

zài在chuán tǒng传统xí sú习俗zhōng中,zhè这yī tiān一天jiā jiā hù hù家家户户dōu都yào要máng zhe忙着mó磨dòu jiāng豆浆、zuò做dòu fǔ豆腐。

According to traditional customs, every household is busy grinding soy milk and making tofu on this day.

wèi shén me为什么yí dìng一定yào要zài在zhè这yī tiān一天zuò做dòu fǔ豆腐ne呢?

Why must tofu be made on this particular day?

guò qù过去de的rén men人们rèn wéi认为,dòu fǔ豆腐shì是“sù zhāi素斋”,zài在zhè这yī tiān一天chī dòu fǔ吃豆腐shì是wèi le为了qí qiú祈求shàng tiān上天bǎo yòu保佑,ràng让lái来nián年fēng tiáo yǔ shùn风调雨顺。

In the past, people believed that tofu is a "vegetarian dish," and eating tofu on this day was to pray for blessings from heaven for favorable weather in the coming year.

dàn但dào到le了2026 nián2026年de的jīn tiān今天,zhè ge这个gǔ lǎo古老de的xí sú习俗yǒu有le了gèng更yǒu qù有趣de的yì yì意义。

But by 2026, this ancient custom has taken on a more interesting meaning.

xiàn zài现在de的nián qīng rén年轻人fā xiàn发现,“dòu fǔ豆腐”de的dú yīn读音hé和“dōu都fù富”fēi cháng非常xiāng sì相似。

Young people nowadays have found that the pronunciation of "tofu" sounds very similar to "all rich."

yì si意思shì是:xī wàng希望dà jiā大家zài在xīn新de的yī nián一年lǐ里,měi gè rén每个人dōu都néng能biàn dé变得fù yǒu富有。

It means: hoping that everyone can become wealthy in the new year.

yú shì于是,yuán běn原本pǔ tōng普通de的dòu fǔ豆腐biàn chéng变成le了“hǎo yùn好运”hé和“cái fù财富”de的xiàng zhēng象征。

Thus, ordinary tofu has become a symbol of "good luck" and "wealth."

zài在shè jiāo社交píng tái平台shàng上,hěn很duō多rén人fēn xiǎng分享le了zì jǐ自己zuò做dòu fǔ豆腐de的zhào piān照片。

On social media platforms, many people share photos of themselves making tofu.

yǒu有de的bó zhǔ博主zài在zhí bō直播mó磨dòu jiāng豆浆,shuō说zhè这dài biǎo代表“shí lái yùn zhuǎn时来运转”;yǒu有de的jiā tíng家庭zài在chú fáng厨房zhà炸dòu fǔ豆腐wán zi丸子,jīn huáng sè金黄色de的dòu fǔ豆腐kàn qǐ lái看起来xiàng像xiǎo jīn小金yuán bǎo元宝,yù yì寓意zhe着“cái yuán gǔn gǔn财源滚滚”。

Some bloggers livestream grinding soy milk, saying it represents "good fortune coming your way"; some families fry tofu balls in the kitchen, the golden tofu looking like small gold ingots, symbolizing "a rolling in of wealth."

dà jiā大家kāi xīn开心dì地shuō说,jīn tiān今天chī吃de的bú shì不是pǔ tōng普通de的cài菜,ér shì而是yī fèn一份duì对wèi lái未来měi hǎo美好shēng huó生活de的xī wàng希望。

Everyone happily says that what they are eating today is not just ordinary food, but a hope for a better life in the future.

qí shí其实,dòu fǔ豆腐bù jǐn不仅dài biǎo代表cái fù财富,yě也dài biǎo代表le了zhōng guó中国rén人duì对shēng huó生活de的tài dù态度。

In fact, tofu not only represents wealth but also reflects the Chinese people's attitude toward life.

dòu fǔ豆腐yán sè颜色jié bái洁白,wèi dào味道qīng dàn清淡,jiù就xiàng像rén men人们cháng常shuō说de的“qīng qīng bái bái清清白白zuò rén做人,shí shí zài zài实实在在zuò shì做事”。

Tofu is white in color and mild in taste, just like the saying "be honest and upright in character, and be practical and down-to-earth in work."

zhè zhǒng这种jiǎn dān简单de的shí wù食物,ràng让dà jiā大家zài在máng lù忙碌de的zhǔn bèi准备gōng zuò工作zhōng中,gǎn shòu感受dào到le了shēng huó生活de的rè qì téng téng热气腾腾。

This simple food allows everyone to feel the warmth of life amid the busy preparations.

xiàn zài现在jù lí距离chú xī除夕zhǐ yǒu只有wǔ tiān五天le了。

Now, there are only five days left until New Year's Eve.

wú lùn无论nǐ你xiàn zài现在shì是zài在jiā xiāng家乡hái shì还是zài在yì xiāng异乡,jīn tiān今天bù fáng不妨mǎi买yī fèn一份dòu fǔ豆腐,huò zhě或者diǎn点yī dào一道hé和dòu fǔ豆腐yǒu guān有关de的cài菜。

Whether you are in your hometown or away, why not buy some tofu today or order a tofu-related dish.

zhè这bù jǐn不仅shì是wèi le为了pǐn cháng品尝měi wèi美味,gèng shì更是wèi le为了jiē接zhù住zhè这fèn份shǔ yú属于dà jiā大家de的“fù guì富贵”。

This is not only to enjoy delicious food but also to embrace this "wealth and prosperity" that belongs to everyone.

zhù yuàn祝愿dà jiā大家zài在xīn新de的yī nián一年,rì zi日子xiàng像gāng刚chū出guō锅de的dòu fǔ豆腐yī yàng一样hóng hóng huǒ huǒ红红火火,měi gè rén每个人dōu都néng能mèng xiǎng梦想chéng成zhēn真,shēng huó生活“dōu都fù富”!

Wishing everyone a new year as vibrant as freshly made tofu, may all your dreams come true, and may life be "all rich"!
