Can the birthday be advanced or postponed?

Can be advanced.

Birthdays can be advanced, but not postponed. Because good things are suitable for advance, not for delay.

Birthdays must be celebrated in advance every ten days, because the age will increase by one year. The ancients thought the numbers 9 and 0 were unlucky, so when they were nine years old, they were the birthdays of the following year. So, when I am 29, I will celebrate my 30th birthday, and when I am 30, I will celebrate my 3rd birthday, and I will tell you that I am 3 1, not 30.

Precautions:

There are many kinds of birthday cakes. From a health point of view, try to buy cheesecake instead of cakes, and don't just pursue bright colors. Cakes should be less colorful and more mild, and cakes should be eaten and made fresh.

Eggs and longevity noodles: these are two kinds of foods that must be eaten on birthdays. Eggs are things with shells. Opening the eggshell means rebirth, which indicates a new beginning of life. When eating longevity noodles, try to stretch the noodles a little longer, and don't break them, which means longevity.

Blow out the candles: There are usually many small candles on the birthday cake. The number of these candles matches your age. When blowing out the candles, try to blow out all the candles in one breath, which means continuous good luck, happiness and health.
