Birthday stress and taboos

1. Eat red eggs for your birthday: Peeling the eggshell means that we peel off the past and reinvent ourselves, which means the beginning of shelling and rebirth.

2. People in China will eat longevity noodles on their birthdays: When you put noodles in a bowl, remember not to break them. The higher you pull them, the longer they mean the owner's life.

People celebrate their birthdays quietly: In the traditional story of China, Peng Zu is considered as the oldest person. According to legend, he lived over 800 years. The reason why he will die is that one day he saw a man washing charcoal. This man wants to wash the black charcoal white. Peng Zu said with a smile: I have lived for more than 800 years and I have never heard that charcoal can be washed white. I didn't expect the charcoal washer to be a kid messenger, and I couldn't find Peng Zu. Unexpectedly, Peng Zu confessed himself, so Peng Zu was taken to the underworld. Therefore, because of this story, people's birthdays are always low-key, unless it is a specific birthday age.

4.49 years old should be called 50 years old: because for China people, 9 is the end of a number, symbolizing the end, and 0 is the beginning. When you meet nine people, you should cross 0 first. Therefore, the 50th birthday should be celebrated at the age of 49, and 9 also stands for eternal life.

5. Blow out the candle once: Blowing out once means that the wish is realized once, symbolizing the owner's health and symbolizing good luck.

6. You can't cut the cake in half: usually, the birthday girl won't cut the cake all the way to the end. She needed a second cut by the birthday girl, twice. It's not good to cut it completely. Remember not to cut the wedding cake to the end, but to cut it twice.

7. Ghost Moon doesn't celebrate birthdays: People who celebrate their birthdays in July of the lunar calendar don't disclose their birthdays, especially on July 15th of the lunar calendar. Didn't it imply that they were like the ghost king? It is also possible that the ghost king knows or invites this person to spend his birthday together.

8. You can't celebrate after your birthday: you can only celebrate in advance, but you can't postpone it. If you want your birthday, you must be sincere in advance. After my birthday, I feel that I have had two birthdays and I am two years older.

9. Birthdays are forbidden on the following days: off-year, New Year's Eve, 15th day of the first month, 12th July, 27th July, etc. It is a traditional day of sacrifice, and it is generally a day of sacrifice to graves or graves. However, there are activities such as grave-sweeping and worship on birthdays, and it is best to finish them before 3 pm. In ancient China, chrysanthemum was regarded as a flower of sustenance, which meant missing and homesickness. White chrysanthemum is the most suitable, and it can also be matched with some green grass, such as lily, green leaves and carnations, which will be more beautiful. However, Huang Ju Flower, known as Longevity Chrysanthemum, is more suitable for visiting patients than paying homage to the dead. Because the cemetery is the home of the deceased, so don't cross the grave and the offerings, don't make a noise, don't laugh and curse, and don't use foul language. This is not only disrespectful to one's ancestors, but also a nuisance to nearby spiritual bodies, and it is not allowed to trample on other graves or judge the design of graves, which will be regarded as blasphemy. It's best not to visit relatives and friends that day. Because it is a special time to pay homage to festivals, it is really embarrassing or unlucky to visit relatives and friends at this time. Because shoes are the same as evil sounds, you can't buy shoes at this time. If someone at home happens to have a birthday today, try to avoid it. For example, if the birthday of the solar calendar happens to be in Tomb-Sweeping Day, try to celebrate the birthday of the lunar calendar, and vice versa. If it is really unavoidable, don't accept flowers and eat birthday cake on the same day.

10, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the birthday of the ghost king. On this day, there are many folk taboos, such as not swimming, not celebrating birthdays today, not patting others on the shoulder, etc. Although some people don't believe it, many people think that in order to spend Halloween safely, we should try our best to avoid breaking taboos and show respect and respect to our good brothers.
