What do you mean too old?

This is one of the traditional customs in China, and it is usually held in December or the first day of the first lunar month. Pressing the old is to protect the safety and health of family members and avoid accidents and disasters. According to the custom, red goods such as red cloth or red ribbon should be prepared on this day to pray for the blessing of Tai Sui. In addition, there are ceremonies to ward off evil spirits such as burning incense, setting off firecrackers and pasting couplets.

According to tradition, everyone has a corresponding tai sui. Some people conflict with Tai Sui, and some people can be worthy of Tai Sui. If you don't know which one you belong to, you can confirm it by fortune telling or asking a witch. People who belong to the same traditional society should attend the ceremony together when they press the traditional society, so that * * * will be blessed by the traditional society together.

Although the custom of suppressing the old age has decreased in modern times, its influence on the people is very far-reaching. This is not only a cultural heritage, but also a political symbol. In the past, ceremonies were usually held in farmers' families, but now more and more attention is paid by urban residents. On this day, people will pay more attention to the relationship between family members, show respect for their ancestors and inherit the cultural essence of China.
