At the age of 50, I began to celebrate my birthday. Why do men do nine and women do ten?

China has had the custom and tradition of celebrating the birthday of the elderly since ancient times. No matter where the children are, parents will come back to celebrate their families' birthdays. Therefore, people are used to celebrating their birthdays, which is what we call birthdays.

Birthday is a common custom in all regions, which has continued from the past to the present. People generally call 60 years old "longevity". You don't celebrate your birthday until you are 50 years old. Intelligence means celebrating your birthday before you are 50 years old.

At the birthday party, the birthday girl wants to eat longevity noodles and birthday cakes. Candles are usually inserted on birthday cakes, and the number of candles represents the age of the birthday girl. In rural areas, two things that must be eaten on birthdays are eggs and longevity noodles.

Birthdays that meet every ten days are generally called birthdays. Such as 60, 70, 80, 90. The birthday party at this time is also the most grand. No matter whether the family is rich or poor, this time should be celebrated. In addition, the birthday of the elderly is also very particular. Once you start, you can't stop.

Nine means that the birthday of the old man is ten years old in vain, such as sixty-nine, seventy-nine and eighty-nine. That is, 70, 80 and 90 years old.

Birthday poems are the earnest wishes of parents. I hope my parents will live a long and healthy life. Birthday for the elderly is also a way to honor children. In fact, for the elderly, they don't care too much, they don't pay much attention to the sense of ceremony, they pay more attention to feelings.

My heart is here and everything is fine. For the elderly, it is great happiness to see their children and grandchildren get together in harmony, health and well-being in their later years, which is what they most want to see.

The so-called home and everything, as the elderly, what they want to see most is family harmony, husband and wife respect each other as guests, and brothers and sisters care and support each other. This is their greatest family happiness.
