Why 73 and 84 are called the gateway has something to do with the folk saying that "73 and 84 are not accepted by the king of Yan".

It means that it is unlucky to live to seventy-three or eighty-four, and it is easy to die at this time. Actually, this proverb has no scientific basis. But it has a rather unusual history. In folklore, this proverb is that Confucius died at the age of 73 and Mencius died at the age of 84, so the death of two saints is circulated among the people as a portal.

The idiom "Seventy-three, eighty-four, Yan won't do anything about himself" explains:

China admired Confucius and Mencius in ancient times, and the theory of Confucius and Mencius also had great influence in China. They are honored as "saints" and "sub-saints". The age threshold that even sages can't cross is a great challenge for ordinary people. So this sentence has been passed down from generation to generation.

Mr. Li Liang of China Taiyi Yijing Planning and Research Institute said: "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the ghost king doesn't invite himself." . There is no scientific basis, but both of them are elderly people over 70 years old, and their immunity is weakened. In addition, in the low tide of life cycle, more people will die.
