Why do you call your age "Gui Geng" instead of "A Gui, Gui B, Gui C, Gui Ding"?

Geng, refers to age. Because Geng is the seventh in the heavenly stems, and because there are only ten figures in the heavenly stems, the heavenly stems change every ten years in 2008, so we use "Geng" to refer to age.

Gui Geng is generally a title of respect for people with higher status. Usually used for people of a certain age (about thirty or forty years old), and older people use "longevity".

Generally speaking, people pay great attention to asking their age. Some people will be very afraid of being asked their age. Let me give you an example. Ask an old man in his seventies and eighties. How old are you? Are you old? Ask a middle-aged woman. How old are you now? /I wonder if you mind telling me how old you are now? /age.

Consult your peers. How old are you? Ask the children. Baby, how old are you this year? Children can directly ask how old they are. Ask old people to use "longevity", ask women to use "age" and ask if they mind. When you ask middle-aged women, if it is a formal occasion or work need, just ask, "Excuse me, your age" and ask middle-aged men your age.
