Thank humbly! Are there any special customs or taboos for Putian elderly to hold birthday banquets?
The procedure of our birthday in Putian is more complicated and different from place to place, basically. Birthdays are celebrated all over the world, and the birthday girl invites relatives and friends to birthday parties. We have a party on the third day of the first month. You are the host when you visit relatives and friends on the morning of New Year's Day, so you should add two oranges when you leave, and the guests to be invited should be served with peanut soup. And those who don't go to their home on the second day of the first month, almost no one goes to your home on the second day. Someone came to offer birthday wishes, and the host brought out a bowl of peanut soup. When guests drink, they will receive at least two strings of noodles and a pair of eggs. In addition, return to the guests: candy, biscuits, cigarettes, oranges, red envelopes, etc. Put it back in the basket and carry it by the guests. Of course, tell the guests the time and place of the birthday party. Friends and relatives prepare firecrackers, birthday noodles, birthday eggs, cloth and other gifts and put them in red baskets to celebrate birthdays; Daughter and son-in-law should prepare peaches, turtles, noodles, trotters, birthday couplets, clothes, candles, guns, eggs and so on. And put them in red plates and red cloth bags to pick out their birthdays. In Xianyou, the host received half of firecrackers, eggs and noodles from relatives and friends, but did not receive clothes. He also returned red balls, white cakes, oranges and sweets. Take the clothes and other things given by my daughter and son-in-law as gifts and return them. All right, that's all. I wish you a pleasant stay in Putian.
