Ten taboos for old people to live their lives:

1. The candles should be blown out once. Blowing out the candle once represents the fulfillment of the wish at once, symbolizing a good omen for the owner's health.

2. Do not cut the cake in half: Usually, the birthday cake will not be cut in one go. The birthday girl will continue to cut the cake in two cuts. (Avoid "half" and "to the end")

3. For those who have birthdays in the seventh lunar month, their birthdays will not be made public.

4. Birthdays can only be celebrated in advance, not postponed. Birthdays must be celebrated in advance to be sincere.

5. Elderly people believe that if people aged 60 to 80 celebrate their birthdays grandly, their life span will be reduced by 8-10 years.

6. "Ten" is an integer in the decimal system. Our country has "the moon is full, it loses", "the extreme of things must be reversed", and "0" is empty. Therefore, for birthday wishes for the elderly, celebrating A full decade is more taboo, and those who are infirm are more afraid of doing it.

7. "Thirty-three twists and turns, sixty-six if you don't die, you will lose a piece of meat, seventy-three and eighty-four, the king of hell will not ask you to go." Eighty and eighty-four are homophonic (si) Avoid making a big deal.

8. Chinese old people eat longevity noodles on their birthdays. Remember, be sure not to break the noodles in the bowl. The higher and longer the noodles are, the longer the life of the owner is.

9. Elderly people usually celebrate their birthdays with round numbers, such as 60th birthday, 70th birthday, etc.

10. The birthday banquet for the elderly should be held before 12 noon, and the birthday banquet cannot be held at night.
