When is your 66th birthday?

According to folklore, the sixty-sixth birthday of an old man usually falls on the same day, which is a nominal age. If there is a contradiction in time, it can be advanced, but it cannot be postponed.

In some areas, the custom is to celebrate the birthday of the 66-year-old in nominal age on the sixth day of the first month of each year. This name is "grab six", which can prolong life.

There is a folk saying that "when people reach 66 years old, devils will eat meat", and 66 years old is also counted as a hurdle on the road of life.

Pay attention to your 66th birthday.

1. In the northeast of China, the elderly celebrate their 66th birthday. It is a traditional custom for the elderly to eat jiaozi, longevity noodles (noodles) and dough twists. Sixty-six jiaozi, which means congratulations on your sixty-sixth birthday. Eating longevity noodles is to wish the elderly a long and healthy life, and eating twist is to wish the elderly more and more energetic.

2. In Henan, the daughter is responsible for buying 626 pieces of meat, and then the daughter-in-law is responsible for frying it, or wrapping it into jiaozi, but it must be exactly 66 pieces of jiaozi, and it must be eaten at one meal. Of course, the birthday girl doesn't have to eat alone.

3. In Northeast China, on the 66th birthday of the elderly, the younger generation will pack 66 jiaozi. If they can eat it all at once, they can cross this hurdle safely.

4. Southwest Shandong attaches great importance to the birthdays of 66, 77 and 88. As the saying goes, "Sixty-six people eat knife meat, 77 people eat chicken and 88 people eat old duck". It is believed that only by eating 66 pieces of meat can we successfully pass this level. Therefore, on the 66th birthday of the elderly, filial sons and daughters or nieces will send 66 pieces of meat. If you are a vegetarian for a long life, use the same amount of dried tofu instead.
