Where does the birthday begin to roll eggs?

The position of the waist begins

Birthdays are essentially anniversaries to commemorate the day when a person came into this world. In China, people generally pay more attention to the birthdays of the elderly and children, and every birthday is a day for family reunion. Traditionally, longevity noodles and eggs are eaten on birthdays. With the exchange of Chinese and western cultures, young people also like to celebrate their birthdays in the West by eating cakes and blowing out candles. As long as you live. In Kong Rong's miscellaneous poems in Han Dynasty, it is said that life cannot last long.

Egg roll on birthday.

Birthday eggs should be rolled from the waist, from front to back. It is a traditional custom in China to eat boiled eggs on your birthday. It means to drive away bad luck, the egg protein is white, smooth and clean, and the yolk is round, which means that the child is as white and flawless as an egg.

Is the birthday a solar calendar or a lunar calendar?

For thousands of years, China people's new year's eve has been from the beginning of the Lunar New Year, that is, after the New Year's Eve, everyone has grown by one year (although the real New Year is measured by beginning of spring). Therefore, in the past, birthdays generally used the lunar calendar. However, after the reform and opening up, the younger generation often celebrate their birthdays on the Gregorian calendar. So in this sense, everyone's birthday can last for almost two days every year, that is, a lunar calendar and a Gregorian calendar.

Someone once said, birthday "you can eat cake, but you must not blow out candles, because blowing hell once will hook your birthday."

This is bullshit. If someone says, "Blow out colorful candles on your birthday and then share the cake, it is an unhealthy habit." That makes sense. Because it is said that candles are not food, they will not be processed, packaged and transported according to food standards, and there is no good way to disinfect them after being polluted. Moreover, as a by-product of petroleum, candles themselves contain substances harmful to human body. When these candles are inserted into the cake, the chemicals in them will react with the cream. There are many candles in the cake, so you have to blow them out in one breath. Saliva or other body fluids may also splash on the cake. These secretions often contain bacteria or viruses, which often bring harm to the health of people who eat cakes.
