2. Flower armor refers to 60 years old. The word "Hua Jia" comes from the ancient calendar of China, which takes 60 years as a cycle, and each cycle is called "Jia Zi", which is also called "Hua Jia" because of the various names of branches and branches.
Another way of saying it is that there is a white mark at the root of a person's nail. At the age of 60, with the aging of the body, this white mark will disappear, so it is called "flower nail". Of course, there are exceptions, for example, people who are in good health are over 60 years old and still have white marks, while some people are weak and may not have white marks before they are 60 years old.

Confucius' self-evaluation of his life at the age of 60 in The Analects of Confucius for Politics. The original text is "I have five out of ten, but I am determined to learn." Standing at 30, not confused at 40, knowing destiny at 50, listening at 60, and doing what you want at 70. Do not exceed the moment. "
Confucius said: "I was determined to study at the age of fifteen, and I can achieve something at the age of thirty. At the age of forty, I am no longer confused about things. At the age of fifty, I know what I can't do for human control. At the age of sixty, I can listen to different opinions. At the age of seventy, I can do whatever I want without going beyond the rules."
Although not everyone can be a sage of Confucius, later generations often regard these self-comments of Confucius as the ideal state of life that should be achieved at different stages of life.
