Does 36 mean the period after reaching 35?

No, it's 36 to 37. After the age of 36, excluding the age of 35, that is to say, after the 36th birthday, it refers to the age of 36 and 37. Before the age of 36, including 36 years old, that is, 34 years old and 35, 36 years old. Therefore, when talking about it, sometimes it is deliberately added to include or exclude the age of 36, which is more clear.

The traditional age in China is nominal age, which is calculated according to the lunar calendar. At birth, it is 1 year-old, and it increases by 1 year-old every Spring Festival. The nominal age is only related to the Spring Festival, not the birthday. I can't celebrate my birthday. I am 37 years old.

The difference between one year old and nominal age.

One year old is one year old. Different from the calculation method of nominal age, one-year-old is based on the solar calendar and takes the specific date of birth as the node for calculating age. For example, a person born on May 20th will be 1 year old on May 20th of the following year.

One-year-old is the way to calculate age all over the world. China also adopts one-year-old to calculate age on the basis of inheriting the traditional hypothetical age. Because of this, when a person answers his age, he often doesn't indicate his full age or nominal age, which is completely in accordance with his own habits. So many people don't ask their age when they ask their age, but more about their zodiac signs.
