The old tradition, how old to start living, what are the taboos, and those who have old people at home should pay attention.

In fact, what we need to thank most for our birthday is our parents. It's really not easy for them to give birth to us and educate us as adults. We should learn to be grateful.

In modern life, many parents attach great importance to their children's birthdays, and of course they should have a sense of ceremony. Whenever they have a birthday, they will eat a beautiful cake, make a wish and blow out the candles. Parents will also cook a table and invite their children to get together.

Is everyone's birthday called a birthday, and what age can't be called a birthday? Then let's get to know each other.

First, how old did you start living?

In fact, according to tradition, birthdays are celebrated before the age of 50. After 50 years old, you can't call it a birthday anymore. It should be called longevity. Why? First of all, we should understand what it means to celebrate a person's birthday.

China is a country of etiquette. When some old people celebrate their birthdays, they will have some additional meanings.

The ancients believed that dying before the age of 50 was short-lived, and there was a tradition that the elderly lived longer.

Longevity means to live a hundred years and prolong life.

Therefore, people with old people at home should pay more attention.

Many young people will celebrate their old people's birthdays to show filial piety.

There is a folk saying that "do nine but don't do ten", which means, for example, the 60th birthday must be celebrated at the age of 59, the 70th birthday must be celebrated at the age of 69, and so on.

Second, what is the emphasis on longevity?

Why do you celebrate your birthday on the number nine? In fact, this way is also based on the homonym of the word "nine", which means that the elderly can live longer.

In ancient times, people thought that the homonym of "ten" seemed to mean "death", so everyone was very particular about it.

Of course, the customs of every place will be different, such as the saying that men celebrate near women celebrate their fullness.

Third, what to eat for your birthday?

In fact, not only the time to celebrate birthdays is very particular, but also what to eat on birthdays.

Maybe you think a long life should be as rich as possible, but it's not.

What should I prepare for the old man's birthday?

The first thing is to eat fish. In fact, fish also means more than one year. According to custom, old people will eat when they are alive, because fish has a good meaning. "Fish" and "fish" are homophonic, which means that there is more than one year, which means that the better it is, carp yue longmen.

Followed by braised pork, you must eat 66 pieces of braised pork in one breath on your birthday, so as to transfer the disaster to the livestock and let the old man pass the age of 66 safely.

The next step is to eat eggs. Why eat eggs? Because I couldn't afford to eat eggs when I was very poor, now eggs are cheaper, and they are round and round, which also represents good luck, and it is also an auspicious meaning, so that the old people will be very smooth when they are in trouble.

So it can be regarded as the best moment in a person's life, because it represents reunion. People who come to celebrate their birthdays have their own relatives, daughters, son-in-law, younger generation, friends and so on. They all brought their best wishes and respect.

This festive atmosphere can not only bring psychological pleasure to the elderly, but also express wishes for their health and longevity.

Fourth, the choice of gifts.

I believe that when giving the elderly a birthday, they will bring some small gifts to express their wishes.

So how should we choose a gift? In fact, there is nothing particular about what gifts to give. Giving gifts only represents one's own mind and filial piety, not the value and value of gifts.

Just like a lyric of Jay Chou: "Grandma's expectations for her are gradually becoming helpless, and adults still don't understand.

What she wants is companionship, not 600 yuan, which is easier than what you give.

Therefore, when buying gifts, we should choose according to the needs of the elderly.

Summary: People have infinite yearning for "longevity". Everyone hopes that they and their relatives and friends will live a long life and be safe.

With the development of society, more and more people are not addicted to tradition and break the traditional way of thinking, so the traditional birthday custom has also changed.

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards and superior medical and health conditions, people's average life expectancy has also been extended. I just need to give the elderly more spiritual comfort and material needs, so that they can spend their old age safely.
