What's so particular about a person's 60th birthday?

Birthday Celebration The elder's birthday is called birthday, and the 59th birthday is over 60, commonly known as birthday celebration. Birthday people are mainly close relatives of children, son-in-law and younger generations, and close neighbors and friends know more about congratulations. The whole birthday present includes shroud, shroud, Shouren (cakes) and Shoutao (steamed noodles). Generally, there are only birthday girls and peaches.

Birthday Shangluo people attach great importance to birthdays. Babies have three days, ten days, a full moon, a hundred days and a year old. Middle-aged people pay attention to thirty-six, forty-nine, commonly known as "threshold." On this day, in order to eliminate disasters, family members tie red trousers made of red cloth or underwear made of red cloth around their waist. Old people pay attention to celebrate their sixtieth and seventieth birthdays and congratulate them. Others celebrated their 73rd and 84th birthdays. Mainly because Confucius lived to be 73 years old and Mencius lived to be 84 years old. They thought that these two ages were the threshold for the elderly, and congratulated them on their anniversary for avoiding disasters and taking refuge.

In this world, children scatter their words into the old man's generous and loving chest. The simple words of "be strict with yourself, be lenient with others, work hard and strive for self-improvement" are engraved in the hearts of children and will never be forgotten. The old man's hard work was not in vain. Under his education, his children have grown up and won unparalleled glory for the elderly.
