Why is 73 years old a hurdle in life?

The reason for this is that Confucius and Mencius lived to be 73 and 84 years old respectively. In the past, people were superstitious and thought that two saints could only live to this age, so what ability can we ordinary people have to live longer than saints? So I take 73 and 84 as two hurdles in my life.

Now everyone knows that this statement has no scientific basis. Although Confucius and Mencius were saints, they were just two ordinary people. As long as it is human, it will die one day. When they die is none of our business. We can't judge our age by their age.

For the elderly, they are very concerned about their age. Many old people don't like birthdays. Every birthday means that their life expectancy is shortened by one year and they have less time to spend with their families. So there are many taboos in the countryside, and there are many things that can't be said. Call them unlucky.

The profile can also reflect that the old people actually have a deep fear of death. Medical technology was not as developed as it is now. Many old people end their lives just because of some minor illnesses. Before they are 70, they are old. There are also many people who have not lived to be 73 and 84. After a long time, the old people took this sentence as truth and believed it.

There is a similar saying in our local area, after the elderly are over 70 years old? Nine? This is a disaster. For example, 8972, 72 years old is a hurdle. 998 1, 8 1 is also a hurdle. There are numbers every nine days, such as 79, 89, 99 and so on. These are obstacles. As long as the old man reaches this age, the family will be particularly nervous.

If we can successfully spend this nine-year plan, the next days will be safe before the next nine-year plan comes. Young people know that this statement has no basis, but old people believe it very much. At present, the average life expectancy of Chinese people has exceeded 80 years. Even men have a shorter life expectancy, but they are over 77 years old, so this statement is not credible.
