Shanxi Taiyuan birthday focus on how old?

Don't know about Taiyuan, but I'll talk about Yuncheng. Because Yuncheng has undergone some changes recently.

Originally, it should be said that from about seven or eight years ago, Yuncheng has emerged as a trend for the big twelve, the general are about thirty tables, and formed a certain fixed procedures, with etiquette companies involved in organizing, and caused the children to compare with each other. One of the more mature customs is, at the banquet site by grandma and grandma **** with the child to wear a collar (a Jinnan characteristics, with the surface of the steam of the large steamed buns), seven aunts and aunts to give the child with the yuan to wear the necklace should also be brought to the neck, the child to read the words of thanks to the parents to cut the cake (twelve-year-old cake is also getting bigger and bigger, there is a diameter of one meter, there is a twelve-tiered tower-like), generally to invite a table! classmates, the classmates to put thick cream on the birthday boy's face; parents of the parents at the same time to put cream on the face of the child's parents.

But this year, that is, in recent times, from the Yuncheng city district of each school at the same time launched a thrifty birthday initiative. And all the students were asked to sign a pledge on it, mainly not to organize banquets. This led to a situation where some parents wanted to organize a banquet and their children were unwilling or afraid to attend. Today, the vast majority of parents have canceled the custom of holding a banquet for their children to celebrate their twelfth birthday.

Currently Yuncheng people are looking for new ways to make their children's twelfth birthday more meaningful.
