What do you say about the old man's birthday?

In this place of Hebei, it is popular to give one's elders a lifetime, just like 79 years old and 80 years old. As long as people over 50 can live a long life, especially the whole life is very important. There are many details and sayings about celebrating the birthday of the elderly.

My grandmother celebrated her eightieth birthday the year before last. She not only invited relatives, friends and neighbors to have a big banquet, but also invited the master of ceremonies if it was held outside the hotel, and invited people to watch the opera and play suona if it was held at home. Grandma does it at home in the countryside. There is a couplet on the door to celebrate her birthday. The entrance is the layout of Shoutang. The picture of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and the words of longevity are written in big gold letters on the red paper on the front. Grandma is sitting in the middle of the sofa in a brand-new deep red cotton-padded jacket, and there are bright red big birthday peaches, cakes and fruits on the sofa in front.

Relatives and friends came one after another in the morning. First, the younger generation sent their own gifts, and then bowed or kowtowed to grandma. At this time, grandma gave the dishes on the table to the younger generation, and the younger generation could not refuse. A few bites means chewing up the old man and avoiding disaster. The married daughter should buy a few catties of meat and peaches for her elders, which is a reward for the kindness of her parents. When the whole family eats, there must be longevity noodles, and they must be uninterrupted, indicating longevity. The younger generation should give a bowl of noodles to the elderly, which means adding longevity to the elderly. There must be carp in the dish, which means carp yue longmen. Old people can live a long life.

In fact, the birthday picture for the elderly is that the whole family is happy. Old people are healthy and live a long life. If they have money, they will do great things. If they have no money, they will do some small things. The old man will be very happy to see his children and grandchildren around him.
