Why do children talk about their first birthday? Old people talk about nominal age?

Some people ask us our age, some people will say that we are nominal, and some people will say that we are one year old. Under normal circumstances, children are based on one year old, and old people are based on nominal age.

Why are there such different age algorithms? In fact, there is a certain reason. Next, let's talk about why children follow the one-year-old theory.

First of all, when a child is sick, it is very important to tell the doctor the age of the child accurately, because the dosage of drugs is different for children of different ages. If you tell the doctor the imaginary age of the child, it means that the actual age of the child may be older than you said 1 to 2 years old, the doctor will increase the dose appropriately. But in fact, the child is not that big. Too much dose will have a bad influence on the child's body and even seriously endanger the normal growth and development of the child.

Secondly, the age at which children go to school is calculated according to one year old. When a child goes to kindergarten, the teacher usually asks the child's age. Children can't go to school until they reach the age standard (the age of admission to kindergartens is generally 4 years old).

If parents talk too much about their children's age, they will feel embarrassed, which will inevitably put pressure on them. The author has a cousin who says 1 year old according to the imaginary age when telling others the age of her child. As a result, the child came home and had a quarrel with her. Finally, my cousin called someone to explain that the child gave up.

At the same time, when registering a child's account, it is also calculated according to one year old. In the 1980s and 1990s, it may not be so standardized, which also led some people to report their age according to their nominal age, resulting in an older registered permanent residence. But all the children born now have birth certificates, not as old as you said. When the local police station registers the household registration, it is calculated according to the date on the birth certificate (the date on the birth certificate is in the solar calendar).

These are the reasons why children have to be counted at the age of one, so why should the old man be counted in name? In fact, the reason why old people live in nominal age is because in China's traditional concept, it is considered that the time to conceive in October is one year old. Taking this time as one year old is used to express gratitude to one's biological mother, which also reflects the filial piety in China's traditional culture.

One year's life is calculated according to the solar calendar. For example, someone was born on 20 18 1 October 20th, so he will be1year on 201October 20th. The nominal age is based on the year of birth, and a year is one year old. For example, Mr. Yang Zhenning was born on September 22nd, 1922, but he turned 100 on September 22nd, 2002. Usually, the nominal age will be older than the full year of life 1 year.
