What does the 63-year-old daughter buy?

When the old man was 63 years old, his daughter bought carp.

(Dipu Village) There is a local saying that mother is sixty-three, and carp is yue longmen. In the form of releasing carp, the daughter wishes her parents a long and healthy life across the ditch.

Dipu Village is an ancient village on the south bank of Fuchun River with a history of 1000 years. In ancient times, Dipu Village was next to a long stream in the east. Grass grows by the stream, which moistens the whole village. Later, it was naturally called Dipu Village. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, when the local rice was ripe, farmers offered sacrifices to the land gods and the valley gods on October 21 of the lunar calendar to thank them for their good weather for a year. Respecting parents is like respecting heaven and earth, and later it has developed into a local festival to respect the elderly.

This season lasts for three days, and various forms of celebrations are held around the elderly. The villagers regard this day as an auspicious day for the elderly to celebrate their birthdays at home, and invite relatives, friends, neighbors and even passers-by to celebrate their birthdays at home. The more popular the family, the longer the old people live. A married daughter should cook fish and meat for her mother at the age of 63 and for her father at the age of 66. The bigger the fish for mom, the better. This means that the bigger Qing Yu is, the richer it will be. The braised pork for dad should be carefully cut into 66 pieces, and the meat should be cut regularly and of the same size, which shows that the daughter takes care of dad very much.
