How do old people in Beijing pass 66? What's the point?

In the traditional customs of old Beijing, the old man is 66 years old, which indicates a hurdle in life. As the old saying goes, right? Sixty-six years old, don't you die of a piece of meat? , this with? Seventy-three, eighty-four, didn't Yan ask where he had been? This is the same reason. It is for this objective reason that people pay more attention to the 66th birthday party of the elderly. Usually, the daughter will buy a knife of meat (626) as a birthday present, but this gift is not given to the elderly personally, but thrown into the yard outside the door through the courtyard wall. Now Beijing is full of buildings, and this old custom is unsustainable, which can only be barely counted as talk after dinner.

To tell the truth, authentic old Beijingers attach great importance to traditional customs, which is also the quality of life they should have under the emperor's roots, but the older generation gradually lost it in their families? Right to speak? Life customs that should have been passed down from generation to generation have been forgotten by today's generation of young people, and there is no suitable inheritance. Of course, the living conditions in the past were not as good as now, and buying a knife of meat is also a tonic for the elderly. Now, even if it is not a birthday, the elderly can adjust and maintain it at any time according to their physical condition, which leads to the loss of the soil where the old customs exist.

In fact, modern society no longer attaches importance to many ancient traditional customs, especially young people are not interested in oral communication from their parents or grandparents, and many customs and habits will lose their scenery over time. Nowadays, no matter whether the elderly are 66 or 77, children will celebrate their birthdays. Throughout the country, it has become the same living habit for a family to celebrate their birthdays in a happy family atmosphere around a sumptuous dinner. For families who pay attention to the quality of life, they may make the old people have an unforgettable birthday by revisiting their old places or recreating the old days when their physical conditions permit. As for some customs, we should pay attention to the age of 66, which is no longer important.

It can be seen that the old local customs have gradually been forgotten in the current fast-paced life, even the old Beijing customs handed down from generation to generation are no exception. As for the old people's attention on their 66th birthday, it will also disappear without a trace under the impact of the new way of celebrating their birthdays. In short, no matter how the situation changes, as children and younger generations, as long as the elderly can feel the warmth and happiness of their birthdays, from the family's point of view, this is a family gathering worthy of happiness.
