What's so particular about a child's first birthday?
There are many things to pay attention to on children's first birthday. Here are some common customs:

1. Hold a full moon wine: In the tradition of China, parents will hold a full moon wine within one month after the birth of their children and invite friends and relatives to celebrate. A similar one-year banquet will be held on the first birthday.

2. Wear longevity locks: In the traditional culture of China, wearing longevity locks for children is a way to pray for a long life. It is usually given by elders or relatives and friends, indicating that children can grow up healthily and live a long life.

3. Wear red clothes: Red symbolizes happiness and auspiciousness in China culture, so children will wear red clothes when they are one year old, such as red clothes and red shoes.

4. Eat "longevity noodles": On the child's birthday, parents will prepare a large bowl of noodles (symbolizing longevity) and put various auspicious ingredients on it, such as eggs and fish. Children will finish this bowl of noodles in one breath, which means healthy growth.

5. Gifts: Friends and relatives will send gifts to celebrate the child's first birthday. These gifts can be toys, clothes, gold and silver jewelry, etc. At the same time, parents will also give back red envelopes (containing a certain amount of money) to express their gratitude and blessings.
