On the other hand, eighty years old should be one year ahead of schedule, and there is a saying that nine leaves ten, which is the homonym of immortality.

On the other hand, ten is the most single digit, and the truth that "extremes meet" and "full moon leads to losses" is widely known, so people prefer nine, which is just a popular traditional saying among the people. Celebrating your birthday is just a respect and celebration of life, just follow your own wishes.
