Chapter II: Matters needing attention in holding a birthday party

Matters needing attention in holding a birthday party

Birthday can be decided.

The exact date of a birthday can be changed, which means there may not be a birthday. Just according to years of traditional habits, if you want to change the date, you can only advance it, not postpone it. The reason why the birthday date can be changed is because if the birthday girl is in poor health, the physical condition of the birthday girl should be considered. Furthermore, if the birthday activities can be combined with the career and work of the birthday girl, that is the number of years of birthday. The number of years of engaging in a certain career will be more meaningful and the birthday girl will be happier.

Follow the principle of longevity and frugality.

The older you get, the grander your birthday present will be. This is because the older you get, the more respected you are; The older you get, the more children you have; The older you get, the fewer days you have.

In addition to choosing the time of the birthday ceremony according to the custom, the organizer chooses the form of the birthday ceremony, and then the preparation before the birthday ceremony. The preparation of birthday celebration is simpler than that of birthday present. Traditional birthday gifts mainly include three major events: sending invitations, decorating the auditorium and saving a birthday banquet.

Send a letter to Cambodia

Birthday invitations, also called birthday stickers. In contemporary birthday celebrations, the families of people who celebrate their birthdays usually send out red invitations to announce their birthdays and invite relatives and friends to celebrate. At present, there are exquisite customized life stickers on the market, and all the contents that need to be filled in when using them are left blank. Invitations should be sent out at least half a day before the birthday ceremony. Others don't send invitations, but invite them with a book. Immediate family members generally do not send invitations. In rural areas, red invitations are generally not issued. When someone knows his birthday, relatives and friends will give gifts, and the birthday host will verbally invite him. There are also some. The host family invites orally first, and brings gifts for birthday wishes.

Decoration shoutang

Shoutang is a place for the elderly to celebrate their birthdays. If a birthday party is held at home, the birthday hall is usually located in the hall of the birthday girl's house. If the birthday party is arranged in a hotel or hotel, the birthday hall is located in the hotel or hotel where the birthday party is held.

About the birthday party

Birthday banquet is an important part of traditional birthday celebrations. Generally speaking, after the birthday ceremony, you will be invited to a birthday party. As far as the banquet itself is concerned, there is no more difference between the birthday banquet and the general banquet, but several contents are essential.

Banquet seat

At present, the city does not pay attention to the fine arrangement of seats. The birthday girl is the main party and the object of everyone's birthday. Naturally, he should sit down. The seat position is subject to the position near Shouxing, and birthday greetings are accepted. The birthday girl's immediate family and distinguished guests were arranged to sit in this chair, and the rest were allowed to sit at the table. Seats are still arranged in rural areas, and seats are generally arranged according to seniority.

eat longevity noodle

Eating noodles on your birthday means prolonging your life. Eating longevity noodles has been a tradition in China for thousands of years. Noodles are long in Chinese food, commonly known as longevity noodles. In some places, Shoumian is eaten as Chinese food and dinner. Some places are Chinese food.

Zhu Shou craft Cai

A chef who knows the culture of Shouqing should at least arrange a craft dish with auspicious meaning, such as "Songhe Yannian". Others pay attention to the quantity, types and names of dishes. The complete birthday party specialties are as follows:

The number of dishes is "nine", that is, the total number of dishes should be nine or multiples of nine. Because the maximum number of "nine" in single digits is the number of poles of Yang; And "nine" and "long" are homophonic, meaning "everlasting". This is an auspicious number to compare and wish the elderly a long life: therefore, the total number of dishes should be nine or a multiple of nine. Many dishes on the birthday party are secretly cut into three, six and nine, such as the head of a three-fresh (immortal) animal, hanging furnace (6) roast duck and leek.

(9) shredded chicken, Lohan (18) Club, Chongyang (99), etc. "Three" and "nine" are related, three plus six get nine, three good six get eighteen, and eighteen is a multiple of nine. Dishes are often named after folk stories or myths and legends to set off the festive atmosphere. For example, Ssangyong holds the pillar, Yaochi goes to the meeting, Ma Gu presents a birthday present, Eight Immortals cross the sea, Liuhe is in the same spring, and the birthday star Luohan likes the East China Sea and lives longer than Nanshan. At present, the birthday dishes in some places in China are still very distinctive. For example, Baxiancai, which is popular in Hehuang area of Qinghai, is one of them. The so-called Eight Immortal Cuisine means that there are eight kinds of dishes on the table, each with its own meaning. These eight courses include:

(1) whole chicken

Take the meaning of lifelong auspiciousness.

(2) Fried leeks with meat

With the deep roots of leeks and the nourishment of meat, it means longevity.

(3) candied jujube eight-treasure rice

Take their old age for good luck and a sweet life.

(4) stir-fried meat with lotus root

Lotus root symbolizes whiteness.

(5) Fried meat with bamboo shoots

Bamboo shoots are cold-resistant, fierce and lofty at night, which is good for health.

(6) Gexian decoction

With the help of Gehong Luofushan alchemy palm, the suggestion can be a shoo-in.

(7) wonton soup

Take the chaotic world as a sharp mother's womb, and always keep the meaning of truth.

(8) Longevity noodles

I wish the elderly a longer life than Nanshan.

Wish "dragon"

At the birthday party, the birthday party toasted the birthday girl, wishing her health and longevity, and then the guests drank wine. Some hosts or emcees arrange the order irregularly, and take turns toasting the birthday girl, trying to say what the birthday girl likes to hear and make the birthday girl happy. The wine to drink at the birthday party is called "Shoujiu". "Wine" and "long" are homophonic, wishing people a long life with wine. In the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian had a poem saying, "If you want to offer birthday wine, there are cassia twigs in the sky." Therefore, osmanthus wine is often used as birthday wine. In many places in Central Plains and North China, Zhuyeqing, Gu Jing Winery and Zhuangyuanhong are used as birthday wines. Bamboo leaf green and ancient tribute wine are mostly used as birthday wine in many places in the Central Plains and North China. In the northeast, ginseng wine is better than longevity wine. A dish to his taste.
