What should I prepare for my eightieth birthday? 1 When should you celebrate your eightieth birthday?
More than nine but not ten.
In some places, it is important to celebrate the birthday of the elderly, that is to say, when people reach the age of ten, they often celebrate their birthdays at nine instead of this year. For example, if you are 79, you should celebrate your 80th birthday in advance.
According to legend, the reason why you are over nine and not over ten is related to homophonic: "nine" and "long" are homophonic, which means "long life" and is a symbol of longevity; And "ten" is homophonic with "death" and "death", so it is taboo for people; Moreover, the whole life is held one year in advance, and there is a saying that "89 is close to 10", which is also a homonym of "immortality". On the other hand, "ten" is the most single digit, and it is well known that "extremes meet" and "full moon leads to losses", so people prefer the number "nine".
Men live, women live.
There is a folk saying that "men live too much and women live too full". A man's birthday is on his tenth birthday. Women's birthdays are celebrated at the age of seventy or eighty. Due to different customs, there are different opinions about the time to celebrate birthdays. Generally speaking, it is men who are empty and women who are real.
