What's so particular about the old man's birthday?

Old people pay attention to celebrate their sixtieth and seventieth birthdays and congratulate them.

Others celebrated their 73rd and 84th birthdays. Mainly because Confucius lived to be 73 years old and Mencius lived to be 84 years old. They thought that these two ages were the threshold for the elderly, and they were congratulated on the anniversary for avoiding disaster and taking refuge.

On birthdays, the poor don't pay much attention to them, while the rich hold large-scale activities and banquets. Those who go to congratulate them are called "birthdays" and give them rich gifts. Give the baby a "over one year old", and grandma will give him a rope, a silver bracelet, a silver lock and a silver collar.

Generally speaking, people celebrate their birthdays at the age of 70, 80, 90 and 100. Relatives and friends give gifts and watch a play while drinking. The content of the play is mainly wealth and longevity. At the birthday party, there must be a plate of "pig's foot noodles".

The birthday girl should dress up and sit in the main hall to receive birthday wishes from her children and grandchildren. However, some people are afraid to celebrate their birthdays, because they believe that fortune tellers are "outspoken" to avoid being taken away by black and white impermanence.
