How to calculate the birthday time?

Birthday time refers to the day when a person was born in time, and it is also the day when he turns one year old every year.

But folklore in some places believes that this is also the "Good Friday" of mothers. Because the technology in the past did not change with each passing day like today, when a mother gave birth to a child, there was a saying that "one foot was in the coffin and the other foot was outside the coffin". So they think that on that day, they should give priority to filial piety to their mothers.

Generally in China, we pay more attention to the birthdays of the elderly. Every birthday is a family gathering, so in China, birthdays can be regarded as a family holiday. In China, in the old society, only children and old people usually celebrate their birthdays. However, influenced by cultural exchanges, many people in China have westernized their views on birthdays.
