Birthday custom

Birthday, as the name implies, is the day of birth. On this day, we are fortunate to come to this world, so this day is called "birthday" or "birthday". For us, this is the most important memorable day in life, even no less than some traditional festivals. So pay attention to it and have a good birthday.

1. Eat red eggs for your birthday: Peeling the eggshell means that we peel off the past and reinvent ourselves, which means the beginning of shelling and rebirth.

2. People in China will eat longevity noodles on their birthdays: When you put noodles in a bowl, remember not to break them. The higher you pull them, the longer they mean the owner's life.

People celebrate their birthdays quietly: In the traditional story of China, Peng Zu is considered as the oldest person. According to legend, he lived over 800 years. The reason why he will die is that one day he saw a man washing charcoal. This man wants to wash the black charcoal white. Peng Zu said with a smile: I have lived for more than 800 years and I have never heard that charcoal can be washed white. I didn't expect the charcoal washer to be a kid messenger, and I couldn't find Peng Zu. Unexpectedly, Peng Zu confessed himself, so Peng Zu was taken to the underworld. Therefore, because of this story, people's birthdays are always low-key, unless it is a specific birthday age.

4.49 years old should be called 50 years old: because for China people, 9 is the end of a number, symbolizing the end, and 0 is the beginning. When you meet nine people, you should cross 0 first. Therefore, the 50th birthday should be celebrated at the age of 49, and 9 also stands for eternal life.

5. Blow out the candle once: Blowing out once means that the wish is realized once, symbolizing the owner's health and symbolizing good luck.

6. You can't cut the cake in half: usually, the birthday girl won't cut the cake all the way to the end. She needed a second cut by the birthday girl, twice. It's not good to cut it completely. Remember not to cut the wedding cake to the end, but to cut it twice.

7. Ghost Moon doesn't celebrate birthdays: People who celebrate their birthdays in July of the lunar calendar don't disclose their birthdays, especially on July 15th of the lunar calendar. Didn't it imply that they were like the ghost king? It is also possible that the ghost king knows or invites this person to spend his birthday together.

8. You can't celebrate after your birthday: you can only celebrate in advance, but you can't postpone it. If you want your birthday, you must be sincere in advance. After my birthday, I feel that I have had two birthdays and I am two years older.

9. Birthdays are forbidden on the following days: off-year, New Year's Eve, 15th day of the first month, 12th July, 27th July, etc. It is a traditional day of sacrifice, and it is generally a day of sacrifice to graves or graves. However, there are activities such as grave-sweeping and worship on birthdays, and it is best to finish them before 3 pm. In ancient China, chrysanthemum was regarded as a flower of sustenance, which meant missing and homesickness. White chrysanthemum is the most suitable, and it can also be matched with some green grass, such as lily, green leaves and carnations, which will be more beautiful. However, Huang Ju Flower, known as Longevity Chrysanthemum, is more suitable for visiting patients than paying homage to the dead. Because the cemetery is the home of the deceased, so don't cross the grave and the offerings, don't make a noise, don't laugh and curse, and don't use foul language. This is not only disrespectful to one's ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spiritual bodies, and it is not allowed to trample on other graves or judge the design of graves, which will be regarded as blasphemy. It's best not to visit relatives and friends that day. Because it is a special time to pay homage to festivals, it is really embarrassing or unlucky to visit relatives and friends at this time. Because shoes are the same as evil sounds, you can't buy shoes at this time. If someone at home happens to have a birthday today, try to avoid it. For example, if the birthday of the solar calendar happens to be in Tomb-Sweeping Day, try to celebrate the birthday of the lunar calendar, and vice versa. If it is really unavoidable, don't accept flowers and eat birthday cake on the same day.

10, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of the ghost king. On this day, there are many folk taboos, such as not swimming, not celebrating birthdays today, not patting others on the shoulder, etc. Although some people don't believe it, many people think that in order to spend Halloween safely, we should try our best to avoid breaking taboos and show respect and respect to our good brothers.

Age taboo of birthday

Birthdays seem to be something that most people are keen on. Many friends also celebrate their birthdays twice a year, that is, both the solar birthday and the lunar birthday, and get birthday gifts twice a year. In fact, judging from the traditional customs or taboos in China, there is something particular about celebrating birthdays.

Once, a boss in the south wanted to celebrate his mother's 70th birthday, saying that he was willing to contribute one million yuan, and invited relatives and friends at home and abroad to celebrate his mother's birthday and wear uniform clothes. Some experts in this field said to him: no! The boss asked: Why? Answer: When do you think friends and relatives will wear the same clothes in China? If you insist on celebrating your mother's birthday, it may mean celebrating your mother's last birthday or taking the last family photo. This is not groundless.

People aged 60-80 are not encouraged to celebrate their birthdays vigorously, because there is a saying that a big birthday can consume 8- 10 years of life.

Not only that, the custom also thinks that the birth of man is a process from God to man and then to God. The analysis is as follows:

1. From birth to 12 years old, that is, before the reincarnation of a genus, this child is a "god" rather than a person. For example, the child born this year is a snake. Then, in the child's first year of birth, that is, before 2025, we can celebrate the child's birthday, even with great fanfare.

2. From 12 years old to 59 years old, people have changed from "gods" to people, and they can celebrate their birthdays, but they should celebrate their birthdays according to local customs. For example, every tenth birthday is usually one year earlier. For example, the 30th birthday is usually completed at the age of 29. And in many places, "three but four", that is, the thirtieth birthday can be celebrated, and the fortieth birthday can't be celebrated.

3. When a person is 60 years old, it is already the cycle of 60 children. Therefore, from the age of 60 to 80, it is impossible to celebrate birthdays in a big way. In the past, both anecdotal and personal psychology believed that once people reached the age of 60, they could not celebrate their birthdays, because they were afraid of "reminding" the horrible prince and "finding out" those who celebrated their birthdays early. Ceng Zhiwei's 60th birthday was considered bad. How bad is it? The friend said it himself.

At the age of 80, people become "gods", so they can celebrate their birthdays, even if they celebrate their birthdays in newspapers, because they are already "gods" and not people.

Friends who are too old should be careful about their birthdays, at least they can't show off their birthdays. You can "do it quietly, don't shoot."

Special reminder:

1, China's traditional position theory has far-reaching significance. People's fortune varies with age, so it's different whether a birthday is high-key or low-key. Friends need to study it carefully.

2. Friends who have reached the age of 60 should be more careful about their birthdays. It is suggested that you can spend your birthday quietly at home, without publicity or high-profile, otherwise trouble may follow. Although some friends celebrate their birthdays one year earlier, such as 59, it is advisable to be cautious.

After the age of 3.80, friends can celebrate their birthdays with great fanfare, because through birthdays, they can get a lot of positive energy, which can prolong life for the birthday girl.

Birthday taboo

On birthdays, the taboo of "men don't commit three crimes and women don't commit four crimes" is popular everywhere, that is, men don't commit thirty crimes and women don't commit forty crimes. There are different legends about this story.

Wuhan people believe that men stand at the age of 30, women stand at the age of 40 when starting a business, and their parents are in the middle age, so it is not suitable for birthdays. Otherwise, you will lose your life.

Legend has it that in the old society, there were many wild animals in the mountains, and people were worried about their lives when they entered the mountains. Because "three" and "mountain" are homophonic, "mountain building" has become a celebration of bad luck, which goes against the original intention; Moreover, "four" and "thing" are homophonic, and "doing four" is easy to cause trouble. Four is also homophonic with death, which is unlucky.

There is a saying in Huangshi that a 30-year-old man is at the "gateway" of his life. If it is a birthday, the lively scene will make the "gatekeeper" forget to open the "gate", so the birthday person has suffered many disasters in the whole decade; 40 years old is the beginning of a woman's "going out" (that is, entering menopause). When celebrating a birthday, the grand atmosphere will upset the mood of the birthday party, making it difficult to "go through the customs" and even more painful. Legends are incredible and have different interpretations, but the custom of prohibiting men and women from celebrating their 30th and 40th birthdays is widely spread. In addition, as a birthday, avoid saying unlucky things and even avoid family quarrels. Don't break bowls, plates and other utensils for children's birthdays.
