What is Zhou Zhou? When should Zhou Zhou be prepared? What are the preparations? What does it mean?

Zhuzhou, also known as "Shi Zhou", "Shi'er", "Zhou Xu", etc., is a ceremony held when a child turns one year old.

This custom was first spread in the Jiangnan area as a divination omen witchcraft, similar to drawing lots.

It is said that Zhuzhou, which really means "testing children", originated from the Three Kingdoms period.

Not long after Sun Quan became emperor, the crown prince Sun Deng died of illness. Sun Quan was worried that his other sons would make friends with powerful ministers to compete for the throne.

Traditionally, commonly used items include pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books, etc.

Of course, today's parents can also choose props suitable for catching Zhou according to the current situation. Of course, this is just a symbol of good meaning, and it does not really mean anything. It is just for fun.
