How many times have you arrested Zhou? Can you catch it twice a week?

Although it was handed down from ancient times in China, because of China's backward economy, few families may prepare for their children when they are one year old. But now, with the improvement of people's living standards, more and more families attach importance to the custom of grasping the week, and many places have organized activities to celebrate the baby's birthday. So, how many times have you arrested Zhou? Can you catch it twice a week?

Grasping the week is a traditional custom in China, which predicts the baby's future when the child is one year old. Under normal circumstances, the baby usually holds it for two weeks. Before the baby grabs the week, parents need to prepare various items and then put them in front of the baby so that the baby can grab them at will. Traditional common items include pens, ink, paper, inkstones, abacus, coins, books and so on. However, some babies may catch different items many times in the process of grasping the week. In some places, it is believed that the first time the baby grasps the object shall prevail, and in some places, it is believed that the longest time for the baby to grasp the object shall prevail. Normally, it's the first time.

Secondly, there are some precautions for the baby to grasp the week. For example, the selected music should be of the same size and color, and relatives and friends should not interfere in the process of grasping Zhou, and the activities should be carried out before lunch. Parents need to know this in advance.
