What does it mean to take root at the age of 8?

"Rooting at the age of 8" is a superstition, based on a supernatural concept that the nature of a person's penis at birth has been determined and needs to be reconfirmed at a specific age (such as 8 years old). This concept has far-reaching influence in China traditional culture, but it has not been recognized by modern science.

Please note that a person's fate is influenced by many factors, including but not limited to family background, educational experience, career choice and personal decision-making. No supernatural power can decide a person's fate alone. In the face of challenges and difficulties, we should stick to a positive, optimistic and enterprising attitude and believe in our own strength, instead of listening to those superstitious ideas.
