What do people mean when they say they are over 60?

Flower armor means 60 years old. The word "Huajia" comes from the ancient calendar of China, with 60 years as a cycle, and each cycle is called "Jiazi". Because of the various names of branches, it is also called "Huajia".

Another way of saying it is that there is a white mark at the root of a person's nail. At the age of 60, with the aging of the body, this white mark will disappear, so it is called "flower nail". Of course, there are exceptions. For example, people who are in good health still have white marks in their 60 s, while some people are weak and may not have white marks before they are 60 years old.

Extended data:

People are used to calling people over 60 "people over 60" and "people over 60". "Huajia" is the abbreviation of "Huajiazi", and the origin of this name is closely related to the chronology of branches in ancient China.
