How did the "Year of the Flower" come about?

In the Analects of Confucius, Zi Yun said: "I am determined to learn in five out of ten, stand at thirty, not be confused at forty, know my destiny at fifty, obey my ears at sixty, and follow my heart at seventy, without overstepping the rules." Therefore, later generations are called "the year of standing, the year of not being confused, the year of knowing the destiny" and so on. At ordinary times, we also call sixty years old "sixty years old" and seventy years old "seventy years of age". "seventy years of age" comes from a poem written by Du Fu in the Tang Dynasty, "Wine debts are common, and life is seventy years old and rare", and "The Year of the Flower" is related to the ancient calendar of China.

In ancient China, the chronology of cadres and branches was adopted, and it was not until after the Revolution of 1911 that the AD chronology was adopted. Dry is dry, including A, B, C, D, E, F, G, F, N and D; Branches are earthly branches, including Zi, Ugly, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu and Hai. Ten days stem in the front and 12 days branch in the back, forming sixty groups of non-repetitive combinations from Jiazi to Guihai, so as to date the year and make a cycle of sixty years. For example, 221 is the year of happiness and ugliness, then 1961 is also the year of happiness and ugliness, and then 191 is also the year of happiness and ugliness. That year, the Qing government and the big powers signed the "Xin Chou Treaty" which humiliated the country. From this point of view, history is really not far from reality. Compared with poverty and weakness 12 years ago, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is really not far away.

sixty years is also called "one year". People have been born for 6 years, and their nominal age is 61 years old. They have stepped into the ranks of the elderly, and their bodies are no longer strong, their hair is gray and their teeth are shaken. People generally understand the title of "the year of the flower" in this way. There is actually another explanation, although it is similar to a word game. The word "Hua" used to mean "Hua" in ancient times, but the traditional Chinese character of "Hua" is "Hua", which consists of six tens and one one, implying the number 61, which is another origin of "the year of Hua (Hua) Jia".

There is a big brother in the company who is just "one child" and retired this year. Although his hair is already completely white, he is still full of energy and sharp thinking. Everyone says that the policy of delaying retirement is too late, so it is no problem for him to work for another ten or eight years. Of course, it's a joke. Here, we still want to wish Big Brother good health, rich and colorful retirement life, enjoy family happiness, and take a rest after a lifetime of revolutionary work!
