There is an old saying: "Father doesn't have a beard, but mother doesn't celebrate her birthday." Why can't my father grow a beard now?

China has always been a filial country. As the saying goes, "filial piety is the first virtue" and "filial piety is the first". In addition to "my father doesn't have a beard, my mother doesn't celebrate her birthday", there are many similar sayings "My parents are here, but I don't travel far". Let's start with the sentence "My father doesn't have a beard, but my mother doesn't have a birthday".

Let's start with "Mom doesn't celebrate her birthday". It is very common for us to celebrate our birthdays now. The ancients said this because your mother conceived in October and gave birth to you. Now major hospitals also have instruments to experience labor pain, which most men can't stand. So your birthday is your mother's good Friday.

The so-called "father doesn't have a beard", and his father can't have a beard when he is alive because the beard is a symbol of men's indomitable spirit and maturity, just as ancient men had to perform a "weak crown ceremony" when they were adults, and women had to perform a ceremony at the age of 15. Men are not allowed to have hair when they are minors.

But not having a beard is not so serious. In ancient China, the concept of family was relatively heavy, and the father was the pillar of the family. As long as the father is still alive, the decision-making power of major events in the family is in his hands, and the older father in the whole family is the most respected and dignified. ?

No matter how old you are or how high you are in the outside world, you will always be the child of your parents. If you grow a beard, it will make people feel that you are old, your parents' feelings will be deeper, and they will be slightly sad. To put it bluntly, I am thinking of my parents.
