What's so particular about birthdays?

Excuse me, is there anything particular about celebrating the birthday of the elderly? Don't advocate people aged 60 to 80 to celebrate their birthdays vigorously, because there is a saying in China's numerology:

A big birthday can consume 8- 10 years of life.

Moreover, numerology also believes that human birth is a process from God to man and then to God. The analysis is as follows:

1. From birth to 16 years old, this child is a "god" rather than a person. We can all celebrate our children's birthdays, even if it is a big event.

2. 17 to 59 years old, people have changed from "gods" to people, and they can celebrate their birthdays, but they should celebrate their birthdays according to local customs. For example, every tenth birthday is usually one year earlier. For example, the 30th birthday is usually completed at the age of 29. And in many places, "three but four", that is, the thirtieth birthday can be celebrated, and the fortieth birthday can't be celebrated.

3. When a person is 60 years old, it is already the cycle of 60 children. Therefore, from the age of 60 to 80, it is impossible to celebrate birthdays in a big way. In the past, both anecdotal and personal psychology believed that once people reached the age of 60, they could not celebrate their birthdays, because they were afraid of "reminding" the horrible prince and "finding out" those who celebrated their birthdays early.

At the age of 80, people become "gods", so they can celebrate their birthdays, even if they celebrate their birthdays in newspapers, because they are already "gods" and not people.

Friends who are too old in those years should be careful about their birthdays. You can "do it quietly, don't shoot."

Special reminder:

1, China's traditional numerology has far-reaching significance, and people's fortune varies with age. Therefore, it is not the same whether the birthday is high-profile or low-key, and friends need to study it carefully.

2. Friends who have reached the age of 60 should be more careful about their birthdays. It is suggested that you can spend your birthday quietly at home, without publicity or high-profile, otherwise trouble may follow. Although some friends celebrate their birthdays one year earlier, such as 59, it is advisable to be cautious.

After the age of 3.80, friends can celebrate their birthdays with great fanfare, because through birthdays, they can get a lot of positive energy, which can prolong life for the birthday girl.

◎ Definition of birthday date ◎

Different countries and cultural traditions have different definitions of birthdays. Therefore, people in the East and the West often disagree on the explanation of birthdays. This is one of the remarkable features brought about by cultural differences.

Birthday date is in the west.

Westerners' birthday dates are relatively simple. Date is the Gregorian calendar date of birth. In this way, if February 29th happens to be a birthday, then every leap year will have a birthday.

In western astrology and 12 constellation theory, the solar calendar is used to infer future "personality", "luck", "marriage" and "emotional change". Although they are superstitious, they have a very long history.

◇ Birthday in China.

For thousands of years, the method of recording birthdays in China is quite different from that in the West. China people's new year begins on the first day of the Lunar New Year, which means that after New Year's Eve, everyone grows up by one year. Therefore, the meaning of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new also has a certain age meaning. However, the general birthday is still used to the lunar calendar. So everyone can have two birthdays, one in the lunar calendar and the other in the solar calendar. Because the China Lunar Chronology Law is a revised monthly calendar, which is related to the moon period of revolution, the corresponding Gregorian calendar date is different every year.

The first birthday is one year old, which is almost the most important birthday.

In the past, old people divided their birthdays more carefully. If it is the birthday of respected parents in a big family, there will be corresponding celebrations. Traditional birthdays are generally calculated in nominal years.

→ Whole birthday: refers to birthdays with 9 or 0 as single digits, such as 59, 60, 49, 50, etc. They have different names:

Every birthday in Daqing is the 9th birthday, such as 39 49 59 69 79;

Celebrate every birthday, such as 40 50 60 70 80.

→ Birthday at will: birthday with a birthday unit of 1-8, such as 5 1-58 years old.

How to celebrate your birthday?

Everyone's birthday is an important day for everyone. Represents the growth of age and experience. Birthday celebrations in China used to be held for very young children or people over 40.

Confucius said, "Stand at thirty, be puzzled at forty, be obedient at fifty, know your destiny at sixty, and be ancient at seventy." . These times should have special significance for China. People will live a long life after 80 years old, so the funeral of people who die at this age is also called a funeral.

The Old Tradition of China

Celebrate the Daqing and Zhengqing of the elderly;

Most parents will make a red egg as a token for their children's birthday.

Western birthday tradition

In most English-speaking countries, people sing "Happy Birthday to you" at birthday parties to bless those who celebrate their birthdays. Usually at birthday parties, when someone holds out a birthday cake with birthday candles, everyone sings in unison (usually turning off the lights and keeping the room dark). Birthday cakes are usually beautifully decorated cakes, and candles as big as the birthday girl should be inserted when serving. The birthday girl should make a silent wish and then blow out the candles. This is because in ancient times, Europeans believed that cigarettes could go to heaven. Blowing out the candle after making a wish means that the wish can reach the sky with the smoke. And if all the candles are blown out in one breath, then the wish may come true. There is a superstition that expressing will has no effect. Birthday girls usually cut the cake first, unless she is too young, her parents can make it for her.

If the birthday party is held in a restaurant, there will be a birthday song. The waiter in the restaurant may lead the singer and then serve dessert (which may or may not be cake, which may or may not be free). This dessert can use shiny things instead of candles. Other customers in the restaurant usually join in to bless and sing. In some restaurants, there will be special non-traditional birthday songs and dance performances.

For some special birthdays or fire risks caused by the number of candles, special candles may replace the actual number of small candles. These candles are made into numbers. For example, you may light a candle like the number 5 on the cake on your birthday and a candle like the number 50 on your 50th birthday.

Birthday is a very important and special day for everyone, so people who celebrate birthdays will get friends ... >>

There is no correct answer to the question about what to pay attention to before and after birthdays, because different customs and habits have different attitudes towards birthdays.

According to the traditional habits of China, the birthdays of the elderly in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai are different from those of modern young people in two aspects:

1. Is the birthday calculated by solar calendar or lunar calendar? Modern people generally calculate according to the Gregorian calendar, because birth certificates are also written on the Gregorian calendar. The elderly generally like to calculate according to the lunar calendar, because the four seasons are also calculated according to the lunar calendar, and they feel that the regularity of the lunar calendar is strong.

2. When is your birthday? Modern people think it doesn't matter, and old people think that birthdays must not be celebrated in advance. The old man thinks that if he lives ahead of time, it means that he is afraid of not living his birthday and is rushing to live ahead of time. If you forget your birthday and make it up later, it is considered auspicious, which means longevity, so there is also the practice of hiding your birthday. It is on that day that you deliberately hide it and make it up later. This is called "saving your life".

What's the point of lighting birthday candles? The custom of eating cakes and blowing out candles actually comes from the west, and its history in China is not long, so there is no unified custom awareness and concern. Generally speaking, birthday candles only need to pay attention to the following points.

Avoid using white candles, but use red and colored candles. In China, white candles are used for funerals.

Generally speaking, the default age is how many candles to insert, but for the elderly, it is not advisable to insert too many candles. Generally, a candle represents one year old.

When choosing birthday candles, you should buy them in a special cake shop and pay attention to hygiene when using them.

When lighting candles, it is recommended to light them with matches. When lighting candles, be careful not to say that ashes will fall on the cake. When lighting candles for the elderly, be respectful and give them a sense of respect.
