Are you six or seven years old today? What do you mean?

"Are you six or seven years old today?" This sentence is often considered as a humorous opening remark, but it is not. In folk slang, "67" is used to refer to the situation of discouragement, failure or inability to return to heaven. So, if someone asks you, "Are you six or seven today?" It's equivalent to asking you, do you feel depressed and listless today?

The origin of this sentence can be traced back to an ancient legend. According to legend, after an ancient general was killed, his son found a spell written on China almanac paper in the barracks, with the numbers "6, 7" written on it. The general's son asked the people around him curiously what these two numbers meant, and he was told that they meant "discouraged". Since then, people have used the word "June 7th" to refer to a discouraged situation.

For modern people, "June 7th" is often used to describe setbacks in work, study or life. This classic prologue is widely used in TV series, movies and even daily communication, and it has become a humorous way. Adding appropriate humorous elements to language can increase the affinity between people, ease the tense atmosphere and make people enjoy life more happily.
