What is the so-called "nominal age"?
In the whole world, maybe only China people have two ages, one is one and the other is nominal. Imaginary age is a method of remembering age relative to real age (now collectively referred to as one year old). As the name implies, "emptiness" means falsehood, and "reality" means truth. Imaginary age is a traditional age calculation method in China, which is based on the Lunar New Year and is a budget estimation method of giving up the small and seeking the big. According to the concept of the ancients in China, a woman's pregnancy and childbirth have been counted as the beginning of her life. Therefore, after 10 is pregnant, the baby will be counted as one year old when landing, and the added age will not be counted as one year old until the birthday is determined, but will start from the new year (the first day of the first lunar month). In ancient times, imaginary age was the only way to remember age. For example, if someone is born in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, he will be one year old when he is born, then he will be two years old at the Spring Festival the next year, and so on. In this case, people born at the end of the year will be older in name. An extreme example is a baby (30 years old) born on New Year's Eve. I was one year old on the day of birth, and I became two years old the next day. So the nominal age of such people is often two years older than the actual age.
