In China, old Beijingers give their babies a hundred days, and most of them just do it for one day. Some of them do it at home, while others go to restaurants. Old Beijingers call it "doing things". Depending on the economic situation, the scene of the Hundred Days Banquet will be different. Some people have to hold church meetings, which means praying for the baby and welcoming him. Friends and relatives should give gifts, such as gold and silver longevity locks, gold and silver longevity clocks and other gifts, as well as silver plates or bowls engraved with Kirin gift patterns. The clothes worn by the baby are also very delicate. There is a saying in old Beijing that "my aunt makes cloth and my aunt works". Aunt and aunt make a suit for their children together, deliberately making two sleeves or trouser legs of different colors. It is said that children wear such clothes to support themselves, so when holding a centennial banquet, aunts and aunts should send clothes, shoes and hats, and there are also sayings that aunts send socks and aunts send shoes. Shoes and hats for children are also very particular. The boy should send a tiger hat and wish him health and strength. Give the little girl a lotus hat and wish her water like lotus.
2. Northwest China
When the baby arrives at his grandmother's house for a hundred days, she will hang some strings around the baby's neck to mean "tie it up" and "live a long life", representing her wishes for the baby.
3. Southern region
There is a custom in the south, that is, when a child is 100 days old, he will find a bunch of things to put in front of the child and let the baby catch it by himself. What the child catches indicates his future work. This is called "grasping the week", and some people say it was carried out when he was one year old. Have different opinions!
4. Guangdong
In Guangdong, babies eat "rice" during the day, that is, rice and fish are put in small bowls and then brought to the baby, so that the rice can be eaten when it touches the baby's mouth. In addition, the baby's grandmother wants to buy two bowls, two spoons and two saliva towels, so that she can have plenty of food and clothing in the future. Babies wear new clothes for a hundred days.
5. Hunan and Hubei
When the baby in Hunan and Hubei is in love 100 days, the family will buy a carp and let the baby kiss the carp. There are two versions of this custom: one is kissing carp, and the baby's mouth will be as beautiful as that of carp. Second, kiss the carp, and the baby will be able to talk and sweet talk.
