It is said that a baby is the core of a family, and indeed parents will give it endless love and care from birth. From the birth of the baby to the baby's name, and then to the baby's school, it is really heartbreaking to be a parent.
Especially in recent years, due to the improvement of living standards, children's birthdays have also received attention. The baby's birthday is a big event in the family. It's fun to buy cakes, set balloons and cook a delicious meal. Not only the children are happy, but also the parents are busy.
Warm mom found that due to geographical restrictions, the choice of baby's birthday is different in every place, some according to the solar calendar, and some according to the lunar calendar (that is, the lunar calendar we often say).
Sophia Kao is a full-time nanny with a two-year-old baby. Seeing that the baby's birthday is coming, Sophia Kao began to settle down and decorate the home, hoping to give the baby a happy and unforgettable birthday. In order to catch up with her mother-in-law, she will visit her grandson from the countryside. Therefore, Sophia Kao must be prepared in advance, lest she worry.
I didn't expect her mother-in-law to make a red face with Sophia Kao as soon as she entered the door. The reason is that Sophia Kao will celebrate the baby's birthday in the solar calendar. There is no such custom in my mother-in-law's hometown. They think that the Lunar Birthday is an accurate record of the time when babies are born. Sophia Kao was puzzled by her mother-in-law's words, because she had a birthday in the solar calendar since she was a child, and it was also registered on her ID card. It was a happy birthday, but it was so annoying. Finally, Sophia Kao obeyed her mother-in-law's wishes, but her heart was not very comfortable.
The so-called lunar calendar, also called lunar calendar or monthly calendar, refers to the time required for the moon to orbit the earth once, which is about 29 or 30 days. Therefore, there are generally 29 or 30 days in a month in the lunar calendar. The solar calendar refers to the "solar calendar", which is the cycle of the earth's revolution around the sun.
It has always been the tradition of our ancestors to celebrate their birthdays in the lunar calendar. The solar calendar was introduced into China from abroad. Because it is more convenient to remember the solar calendar on the perpetual calendar, many people choose the solar calendar for their birthdays.
1. Do parents have enough time?
In fact, the baby's birthday is just a time when the family can get together. As long as the baby feels the care of parents and grandparents, having too many birthdays is just a form. Therefore, choosing a birthday for your baby must be based on the free time of adults. If parents in the solar calendar are busy celebrating their birthdays, then celebrate the lunar calendar. In fact, it is the same for babies.
2. Gregorian birthdays are easier to remember.
Most people choose the Gregorian birthday because the date appears, which is convenient for parents to record. No matter how troublesome the Lunar Birthday is, parents always turn off their mobile phones or calendars as the birthday approaches.
3. Regional differences
Regional differences are a custom. The writer is from Tieling, Liaoning. In Tieling, we are used to celebrating our birthdays in the lunar calendar. After getting married in Shenyang, another city, most people usually choose the solar calendar for their birthdays. So you can choose according to local customs. Parents should not be so entangled.
Summary:
In the eyes of adults, the baby's birthday may be entangled in the solar birthday or the lunar birthday, but for a child, it is a day of eating, drinking and having fun, and parents don't have to be unhappy with their families because of these. So parents, forget it, forget it. The happiness we really need is that the elderly are healthy and the children grow up safely.
