Is it "grasping the week" or "drawing lots"?
As far as time is concerned:
This is the first birthday anniversary held when the child is one year old, and that is "week", that is, grasping the week.
Moreover, the "lucky draw" has no fixed time and can be carried out at any time.
The book "The Little Prince" says that "the sense of ceremony is that this day is different from other moments." This day is worth remembering. One year old is an important point in our life, not a turning point, but an important starting point of life. This is our first birthday.
Literally speaking:
"Draw lots" refers to the marked paper rolls or balls that are taken out to decide the outcome or the ownership of a thing. By drawing lots, everyone touches a pre-marked paper roll or ball to decide who should get what or do what.
I remember when I was a child, there were first-class fields, second-class fields and third-class fields at home. Each kind of field was very different from the second-class fields, so my parents and uncles made several paper balls with the names of the fields written on them. Everyone grabbed one from many fields and that's what they caught. This is my first impression of the lottery.
"grasping the week" means that the baby grabs one or two props prepared by his parents and predicts his future ambition and temperament.
At present, our props for grasping Zhou are generally the most traditional 12 pieces in China, and children can choose two pieces from them. This is to grasp the week.
In terms of the number of participants:
"Draw lots" means that several people draw lots, and each person grabs one, and the number of people is two or more. In short, there are several people who want to make a choice and make several lots.
"Zhou zhuali" means that children grab one or two props from dozens of established props. Grasping Zhou is the child's own home.
As can be seen from the above, the way to commemorate a child's first birthday is to "grab the week" instead of "draw lots". Grasping Zhou is the essence of China traditional culture, which shows the wisdom of the ancients. We should thank our ancestors for creating such a profound traditional culture and such a mysterious etiquette in China.
