Who knows the custom of Haining's turning 66?
Local customs in Shi Xia: In the past, ordinary families could not afford to eat meat at ordinary times, and they could only eat meat during the Chinese New Year holidays; I am eager to eat meat. Therefore, when the old man reached the age of 66 (nominal age), his daughter cooked a bowl of braised pork (diced braised pork) for her parents to eat as a sign of filial piety. Families without daughters are sent by daughters-in-law or nieces. Now that living conditions have improved, I don't care about eating meat. Eating braised pork is even more difficult for the elderly with hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cardiovascular diseases. So now that the elderly are over 66 years old, most people buy some tonics and hoof fat for the elderly, and their meat is just one of them, just a name. Seriously, people will send eight kinds: 1 big meat, 1 chicken, 1 duck, 1 fish, 1 peanut with shell (locally called longevity fruit), 2 tubes of longevity noodles, 8 eggs and 8 firecrackers, all before the 15th day of the first month. In fact, as we think, this custom is not as good as getting together for dinner! As long as you don't forget the kindness of the elderly and always care about their lives, why pursue any form! []
