The year of hurting bones is another name for ninety years old by the ancients. "Er Ya Shi Shu" says: "A bad back leads to a long life." It means that the old man's back has spots like mackerel, which is a sign of a long life.

In ancient China, there were such appellations for specific ages: 20 years old is a weak crown, 30 years old is a standing one, 40 years old is not confused, 50 years old is a knowing destiny, 60 years old is a flower, 70 years old is ancient and rare, 80 years old is a rod dynasty, 90 years old is a chapped back, and 100 years old is a good life.

Life is seventy years old. In the past, in the concept of China people, people lived to be 70 years old, but in Hongkong, we found that people here were still playing football at the age of 70, climbing mountains at the age of 80 and swimming in the sea at the age of 90. In various community activities in Hong Kong, people in their 90s can always be seen to be active.

A Brief Introduction to A Hard Year

Mackerel, originally refers to mackerel. Because the wrinkles on the old man's back are like the stripes of mackerel, which means long-lived old man. It is worth noting that the back of mackerel does not refer to the back of mackerel, but refers to the back of mackerel (the old man), which further refers to the old man.

This usage comes from The Book of Songs, Elegance and Lusheng, and can also be found in Gao Yu Ji Fu and Dongmen Chen. In addition, dictionaries such as Er Ya Shi Shu, Andy Dialect and Shuo Wen Jie Zi all explain this usage, especially the article Long Tour in Shi Shiming clearly points out that 90 days is a quarrel.
