Is a woman 59 or 60 years old
According to the customs of certain regions, women live their 60-year-old birthday.However, according to traditional Chinese etiquette, the 60th birthday is the 59th birthday, and the 70th birthday is the 60th birthday.Both can be celebrated, but the meanings are different.
Time for a woman to celebrate her birthday
The folk tradition of celebrating the old man"s birthday has a long history.In ancient times, according to the zodiac, a sixtieth year was a sixtieth year, and when a person reached the age of 60, it was called the sixtieth year.Folk traditional customs take 60 years old as the starting point of official birthday celebration.There is a saying in the folk that "you won"t celebrate your birthday until you reach your sixtieth birthday".Every year after the age of 60 is called "shou", and every ten years is called "big life".The birthday is based on the virtual year, that is, one year in advance, the 60th birthday at the age of 59, and the 70th birthday at the age of 69.As an ancient custom, birthday celebration expresses people"s good wishes, enhances the relationship between elders and younger generations, and reflects the strong family affection and traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.
The taboo of a woman"s birthday
You can"t have two birthdays a year
Modern people like to celebrate birthdays, some have two birthdays a year, one birthday Gregorian birthday, a lunar birthday.There are people who have three birthdays when they meet the leap month.Actually this is not good.In "Zhuangzi", Zhuangzi said that there is a toon tree with eight hundred years as spring and eight hundred years as autumn, and its year is 3200 years, so this toon tree is very long-lived.Therefore, the traditional view is that having one birthday is one year older, and having two birthdays a year is equivalent to being two years older.Having two birthdays a year is the equivalent of accelerating the shortening of the life cycle.This is very unlucky.
About the age of 60 should not be a big deal
In traditional theory, the sixty-year-old is a reincarnation, and after a reincarnation, everything will return to the starting point.Therefore, the ancients believed that people"s body, luck, lifespan, etc.would go through severe tests before and after the age of 60; before and after the age of 60 is the threshold of life and death, so this period is not suitable for "birthday", even if "birthday" is to be secretly so as not to disturb the Lord Yama and be arrested.The Book of Changes says "return in seven days", which refers to a total of seven days after the yang energy is stripped away until it returns.However, the folks believe that birthdays are the same.After a Jiazi passes seven years, that is, at the age of 67, it enters another cycle of reincarnation.After that, you can celebrate your birthday normally.
