Women's birthday taboos

You can't have your birthday twice a year. Modern people like to celebrate birthdays. Some people have birthdays twice a year, a solar calendar and a lunar calendar. Some people have three birthdays when they meet a leap month. Actually, this is not good. In Zhuangzi, Zhuangzi said that there is a Toona sinensis tree, with 800 years as spring and 800 years as autumn, and its year is 3200 years, so the life of this Toona sinensis tree is very long. Therefore, traditionally, one birthday means one more year, and two birthdays a year means two more years. Having two birthdays a year is equivalent to accelerating the shortening of life cycle. This is very unlucky.
