In the long feudal society, we ancients summed up a set of addressing methods for old people of different ages. For a 60-year-old man, his name is Hua; Because once a person is over 60 years old, his physical function will gradually age.
With the growth of age, there will even be deafness, decreased vision and gray hair. After people are over 60 years old, they officially enter the old age stage. In this case, the title of flower armor appeared.
For the elderly over 60 years old, every 10 years, there will be different titles. From 70 years old to 100 years old, there will be different titles. Specifically, these titles are as follows:
First, 70 years old is an old saying:? People are 70 years old and rare? The meaning of this sentence is very simple, which means that for people over 70 years old, this is very rare in ancient times, and this is also the source of the title of Gu Xi.
In ancient times, because there was no developed medicine and good living environment; Plus people's ability to cope with natural disasters and wars is too weak. Therefore, it is easy to be influenced by changes in the environment, leading to the end of life.
People who can successfully live to 70 years old are very rare in ancient times.
Second, people in their eighties and nineties are called old people, which is also the ancient name for old people. Today, few people call them 80/90 years old. For the elderly, after the age of 70, every year seems to be a great victory; After all, as the elderly grow older, their physical resistance will get worse and worse.
In addition to these two titles, those elderly people over 100 are rare in the world. They are called Yi Yi, and these are our names for people over 60.
