Is the birthday of young people called birthday girl or something?

Young people's birthdays are called birthday stars.

In China, in the past, only children and old people usually celebrated their birthdays. However, influenced by cultural exchanges, many people in China have westernized their views on birthdays.

Birthday for the elderly, whether etiquette or ceremony will be more grand, so birthday for the elderly is also called "birthday celebration", which sounds more formal. If you are over 60, you can call your birthday a "birthday celebration".

Origin of 60th birthday:

In ancient times, the living standard was not high and the medical technology was underdeveloped. People who can live to 60 years old live a long life. Coupled with the influence of the concept of cosmic circulation, the ancients believed that the elderly over 60 were very special and a symbol of dignity, and should enjoy the same courtesy as their deceased ancestors.

Therefore, every 60th birthday, children and grandchildren will celebrate the birthday of the elderly with the most grand ceremony. The old man sat in the high hall and accepted the prayers of his descendants. Every nine years before the tenth anniversary, such as sixty-nine, seventy-nine and eighty-nine, they will celebrate their birthdays.
