Eat a piece of meat that my daughter bought for my 66th birthday. Not only does she buy meat, but when her mother celebrates her sixty-sixth birthday, her daughter will sew her mother a red cotton-padded jacket as a birthday present. It is said that this is a rule handed down from the older generation. In the past, people's life span was short, and there were very few people before the age of 70.

There is an old saying, "Sixty-six, Yan Wang wants to eat meat." When a man was sixty-six, the king of Yan looked through the book of life and death and began to take a fancy to it. Therefore, the girl bought a knife for Yan on her birthday and bribed her not to eat my mother if she ate it. At the same time, they also honor their mothers, and the whole family follows suit. In the past, it was not easy for many families to eat meat at festivals.

Extended data

If an old man in the family celebrates his 66th birthday, he can go to the butcher's to cut a knife. Of course, the weight of this meat is exquisite. The luckier the numbers, the heavier the filial piety. The best weight is 6 kg 6 Liang, and 8 kg 8 is no problem.

According to the old man at home, this piece of meat is used not only to honor the old man, but also to honor Yan Luowang. After all, in that cultural background, it's easy to feel that Yan Luowang eats people and doesn't spit bones. Therefore, at the present age of 66, replacing the old man with a piece of meat, when eaten by Yan, when he is full, naturally he will not hit the old man's mind.
