What's so particular about China people's birthdays?

In China, noodles and eggs are traditionally eaten on birthdays.

1, eat red eggs: peeling eggshells means peeling off the past and getting a new life, which means the beginning of shelling and rebirth.

2, eat longevity noodles: remember not to break the noodles when putting the bowl, the higher the pull, the longer the life.

3. Ghost Moon is not a birthday: people born in July of the lunar calendar are not birthdays, especially on July 15th of the lunar calendar.

Modern law:

Nowadays, young parents in some large and medium-sized cities have new choices and ideas about their children's birthdays. Instead of longevity noodles and peeling eggs, most of them are handmade by DIY family, or for family travel and fun. Give your child a different birthday with laughter.

Europeans in the Middle Ages believed that birthdays were the day when the soul was most easily invaded by demons, so on birthdays, relatives and friends would get together to give blessings and send cakes to bring good luck to drive away demons.

At first, only kings were entitled to eat birthday cakes. Today, both adults and children can buy a beautiful cake on their birthdays and enjoy the blessings from everyone.
