Generally speaking, people celebrate their birthdays at the age of 70, 80, 90 and 100. Relatives and friends give gifts and watch a play while drinking. The content of the play is mainly wealth and longevity. At the birthday party, there must be a plate of "pig's foot noodles". The birthday girl should be dressed up and sit in the main hall to receive birthday greetings from her children and grandchildren. However, some people are afraid to celebrate their birthdays because they believe that fortune tellers are "outspoken", so as not to be taken away by black and white impermanence.
Birthday worship is also called "birthday celebration" Relatives and friends came to congratulate the old man on his birthday. Gifts are mostly peaches, noodles, cloth, cakes with birthday characters. Cloth, commonly known as "Shouzhang", is hung around the ceiling in the yard for guests to see. Write some auspicious words and the sender's name on the birthday account. Men are often endowed with words such as "the benevolent lives long" and "your life is infinite", while women are endowed with words such as "Pengdao Ai Chun" and "Long life".
Middle-aged people pay attention to thirty-six, forty-nine, commonly known as "threshold." On this day, in order to eliminate disasters, family members tie red trousers made of red cloth or underwear made of red cloth around their waist. Old people pay attention to celebrate their sixtieth and seventieth birthdays and congratulate them.
Others celebrated their 73rd and 84th birthdays. Mainly because Confucius lived to be 73 years old and Mencius lived to be 84 years old. They thought that these two ages were the threshold for the elderly, and congratulated them on their anniversary for avoiding disasters and taking refuge. On birthdays, the poor don't pay much attention, while the rich do big things and have big banquets. It's called "eat birthday" to congratulate.
