Birthday stress and taboos
Pay attention to birthdays and taboos. Birthday not only represents that we are one year older, but also represents a sign of our growth. On birthdays, there will be some taboos that can't be touched. I have compiled information about birthday etiquette and taboos for everyone. Let's have a look.
Pay attention to birthdays and taboos 1 first: avoid quarreling, fighting or unpleasant things with others on your birthday.
Birthday is a person's birthday, which indicates that a new year is about to begin. Therefore, try to avoid unpleasant things on the day when the new year begins, which means that the new year is happy.
Second: you can't have two birthdays a year.
Modern people have no concept of birthday. They think that birthdays are actually a celebration and atmosphere. So, how to increase the festive atmosphere? Some people choose a birthday in the solar calendar and another birthday in the lunar calendar. Some people even celebrate their birthdays more than twice a year. In fact, this is not correct. In traditional culture, having a birthday means that a person has grown up by one year, regardless of the specific year, so having two birthdays a year unconsciously means "losing life".
Third: try to celebrate your birthday during the day, not at night.
Fourth: it is forbidden for four people to celebrate their birthdays together.
There is a folk saying of "three gods and four ghosts", so try to avoid this number on the big birthday day.
Fifth: the so-called birthday can be postponed.
Birthdays can be postponed, but try not to celebrate them in advance. It is generally believed that birthdays are related to people's "life span", so the implication of celebrating birthdays in advance is not very good.
Sixth: Pay attention to the age of birthday.
1, from birth to 16 years old, you can celebrate your child's birthday, and it is not too much to make a fuss.
From seventeen to fifty-nine, birthdays are usually celebrated every ten days, and they are still one year earlier. For example, the 40th birthday will be celebrated at the age of 39, and the rest of the time will not be celebrated as much as possible.
From 60 to 80, try not to celebrate your birthday at this time.
After 4.80 years old, you can celebrate your birthday with great fanfare, especially when you are 100 years old, and more importantly, you should have gongs and firecrackers.
Seventh: It is not recommended to send some gifts on your birthday.
For example, items such as clocks, shoes and umbrellas are not recommended because these gifts have bad meanings.
Birthday is a very common thing, but it is also an unusual thing.

Birthday Stress and Taboos 2 1, Eating Red Eggs on Birthday: Peeling eggshells means that we peel away the past and reinvent ourselves, which means the beginning of shelling and rebirth.
2, the birthday star China people eat longevity noodles: Remember not to break the noodles when you put them in the bowl, the higher you pull them, the longer the life of the owner.
3. People don't disclose their birthdays: In the traditional stories of China, Peng Zu is considered as the oldest person. According to legend, he lived for more than 800 years. The reason why he will die is that one day he saw a man washing charcoal. This man wants to wash black charcoal. Peng Zu laughed. I have lived for more than 800 years, and I haven't heard that charcoal can be washed and turned white. I didn't expect the charcoal washer to be a kid delivering letters, and I couldn't find Peng Zu. Unexpectedly, Peng Zu confessed himself, so Peng Zu was taken to the underworld. Therefore, because of this story, people always keep a low profile on their birthdays unless it is a specific birthday age.
When you are 49 years old, you should be called 50 years old: because for China people, 9 is the end of a number, symbolizing the end, and 0 is the beginning. When you meet nine, pass 0 first. Therefore, the 50th birthday should be celebrated at the age of 49, and 9 also means eternal life.
5. Blow out the candle once: Blowing out once means that the wish is realized once, symbolizing the health of the owner and symbolizing good luck.
6, the cake can not be cut in half: usually the birthday girl will not cut the cake to the end, the second knife will be cut and cut twice by the birthday girl. It doesn't make sense to cut it off completely. Remember not to cut the wedding cake to the bottom, but to cut it twice.
7. Ghost Moon is not a birthday: People who celebrate their birthdays in July of the lunar calendar will not show off, especially on July 15th of the lunar calendar, which is the birthday of the Ghost King. Isn't it just a hint that they are like the ghost king? It is also possible that the ghost king knows, or invites this person to spend his birthday together.
8. You can't celebrate after your birthday: you can only celebrate in advance, but you can't postpone it. I wish you a birthday, you must be sincere in advance. After my birthday, I feel that I have had two birthdays and I am two years older.
9. Birthdays are forbidden on the following days: off-year, New Year's Eve, 15th day of the first month, 12th July, 27th July, etc. It is a traditional day of sacrifice, and it is generally a day of sacrifice to graves or graves. However, there are activities such as grave-sweeping and worship on birthdays, and it is best to finish them before 3 pm. In ancient China, chrysanthemum was regarded as a flower of sustenance, which meant missing and homesickness. White chrysanthemum is the most suitable, and it can be matched with some green grass, such as lily, green leaves and carnations, which will be more beautiful. However, Huang Ju, known as Longevity Chrysanthemum, is more suitable for visiting patients than paying homage to the dead. Because the cemetery is the home of old friends, you shouldn't cross the graves and offerings, make a noise, laugh and curse, or use foul language. This is not only disrespectful to one's ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spiritual bodies, and it is not allowed to trample on other graves or judge the design of graves, which will be regarded as blasphemy. It's best not to visit relatives and friends that day. Because this is a special moment to pay homage to festivals, it is really embarrassing or unlucky to visit relatives and friends at this time. Because shoes sound like evil, you can't usually buy shoes at this time. If someone in the family happens to have a birthday today, they should try to avoid it. For example, if the birthday of the solar calendar happens to be in Tomb-Sweeping Day, try to celebrate the birthday of the lunar calendar, and vice versa. If it is really unavoidable, don't accept flowers and eat birthday cake on the same day.
10, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of the ghost king. On this day, there are many taboos among the people, such as not swimming, not celebrating birthdays today, not patting others on the shoulder and so on. Although some people don't believe it, many people think that we should try our best to avoid breaking taboos and show respect and respect to our good brothers in order to spend Halloween safely.
