As the saying goes, men are not three and women are not four, and they are six at the age of fifty. What does this mean?

There are many proverbs circulating in the countryside, such as about labor and solar terms, and "men are not three women are not four, fifty is not enough, and sixty is full". This proverb mainly expresses the problem of age, and each age group has different taboos. Let's take a concrete look.

"Men are not three, women are not four". This sentence is actually about something that should be avoided at the birthday node. Men don't celebrate their 30th birthdays, and women don't celebrate their 40th birthdays. Why is there such a statement? First of all, this sentence can be said to have a far-reaching impact, especially in the former countryside. As a male-dominated society, men in their thirties are a node. At this time, we must keep calm and set up our own business as soon as possible. Don't celebrate too much, lest you get lost.

Women don't want to celebrate their 40th birthday. Unlike men, 40 years old is a node in a woman's life. After this festival, it is difficult for women to have children, and they are getting older and paler, and even their skin color will gradually deteriorate. So at this node, it is not suitable for large-scale gatherings.

"Fifty deficiency, six full" actually means about the same age. Fifty years old is a critical period for many rural people, so we must not make mistakes at this age and accept opinions from many sides with an open mind, so as to maintain the harmony and stability of a big family and finally realize the prosperity of the family! "Six full" means that when rural people reach the age of 60, they don't need much labor. At this age, they can begin to enjoy their old age, and they must keep a contented mind.
