Pay attention to birthdays and taboos.

Pay attention to birthdays and taboos:

1, eat red eggs on birthday: peeling eggshells means that we peel off the past and reshape ourselves, which means the beginning of shelling and rebirth.

2, birthday China people eat longevity noodles: remember not to break the noodles when putting the bowl, the higher the pull, the longer the life of the owner.

3. People don't disclose their birthdays: In the traditional stories of China, Peng Zu is considered as the oldest person. According to legend, he lived for more than 800 years. The reason why he will die is that one day he saw a man washing charcoal. This man wants to wash the black charcoal white. Peng Zu said with a smile: I have lived for more than 800 years and I have never heard that charcoal can be washed white.

I didn't expect the charcoal washer to be a kid messenger, and I couldn't find Peng Zu. Unexpectedly, Peng Zu confessed himself, so Peng Zu was taken to the underworld. Therefore, because of this story, people's birthdays are always low-key, unless it is a specific birthday age.

When you are 49 years old, you should be called 50 years old: because for China people, 9 is the end of a number, symbolizing the end, and 0 is the beginning. When you meet nine, pass 0 first. Therefore, the 50th birthday should be celebrated at the age of 49, and 9 also stands for eternal life.

5. Blow out the candle once: Blowing out once means that the wish is realized once, symbolizing the owner's health and symbolizing good luck.

6, the cake can not be cut in half: usually the birthday girl will not cut the cake to the end, the second knife will be cut by the birthday girl, cut twice. It's not good to cut it completely. Remember not to cut the wedding cake to the end, but to cut it twice.

7. Ghost month is not a birthday: people who celebrate their birthdays in July of the lunar calendar don't show off, especially on July 15th of the lunar calendar, which is the birthday of the ghost king. Didn't it imply that they were like the ghost king? It is also possible that the ghost king knows or invites this person to spend his birthday together.

8. You can't celebrate after your birthday: you can only celebrate in advance, but you can't postpone it. I wish you a birthday. Be sincere in advance. After my birthday, I feel that I have had two birthdays and I am two years older.
