What does it mean to have daylily eyebrows blooming during the Eight Autumn Festival and to have flat peaches during the Qianqiu Festival?

The words used to celebrate birthdays should be "The Eighth Rank Birthday Banquet blooms, the day lilies bloom and the eyebrows are green, and the peaches turn red during the Qianqiu Festival"

The Eighth Rank: Eighty years old.

Hemerocallis fulva: Hemerocallis fulva is also known as Hemerocallis, and Hemerocallis means forgetfulness. The earliest written record can be found in "The Book of Songs·Wei Feng·Bo Xi": "How can I get the weeping grass and talk about the back of the tree". It is a plant that symbolizes mother.

Qianqiu: the name for birthday.

Peach: Peaches are associated with longevity in Chinese culture (so if you eat the Queen Mother’s cool flat peach, you can live forever)

The meaning of the couplet is that the mother’s eightieth birthday has arrived , wish her longevity and good health (eyebrows are green and face is red)
